Update. Some bits have had changed proportions to be in line with retail, trim added to the side of the engine subsystem (left) as on the retail model's texture.

that looks shiny and awesome and shiny. are you going to be adding more greebles? Possibly around the sharply angled bulkhead on the centerline top at the same cross-section that the runway ends which is the only spot I can see where you haven't already slathered on a whole lot of awesome...?

Guys, I think when he said, "GUESS WHAT POOR INSANE **** IS GOING TO PROBABLY BE DOING THIS ALL OVER THE SHIP", he actually meant it. Which is awesome.

My only request is that you find something interesting to do with the location of the engine subsystem. The texture vaguely suggests radiators or an exhaust vent, but anything would be better than having it in the middle nowhere like that.

Good point. I second that request.

Oh my dear Jesus. At first I wasn't really liking this too much as I really like the current Orion... but holy ****. Now how about the Deimos? :P

Regarding what to do with it, you could remake the bottom "engine pod" and the aft section around the main engines. Make them look "sharper", like the "chin" on the bow. Also, add the "corridor" between front and aft sections. Also, the engine nozzles themselves could use remodeling. Overall, the part around the connection could use some slight modification. Right now, there's clear contrast between the old and the new model, but it's only obvious if you know what to look for. The problem with Deimos is that the aft is one big slab with pretty much the only place for detail being the engine cavity.

Note about the deimos: it has bits of mine and bits of bob's deimos in it, should be obv which is which.

The Orion will NOT have the hull plating put on it, though, as it is already hitting 41k triangles without it. It's prolly mostly finished, aside from some hull details here and there, the small turrets, finishing up the modeled thruster, and the engine subsystem bit.

Any chance on the Orion you could add the little blocks for the lights on the side of the runway like on the current Orion? Dunno why but I really liked that little bit of detail.

There's docking points port and starboard, you could do something with those.

The area Dragon called the corridor between front and aft contains the navigation system, you could give it some specially modeled windows or something.

Anything that makes the turrets look like they've been designed onto the hull in a logical way instead of just being glued-on is a plus.

Got those already! They're tinier, though, so it doesn't break up the lines there too much.

Well, I went ahead and got the shape all finished. I just need to do stuff like that, yea, and mechanical bits.

I felt the pipes looked misplaced. (You mean the ones in the engines, right?)

Smoothing the model does wonders. Great job Hades.

Me too, maybe you can add the pipes but make them not as large as they were earlier.

I think he's saying that the mid-section would look better if it's smaller, thinner, and less visible than the dish portion and the base instead of being more prominent than the dish.
