What started as a new Ancient Beam Bomber

 (http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/inferno/shivdest.jpg)
A Shivan Destroyer, some think it looks more like Terran/Shivan hybrid. (already more than 770 polys)

So what do people think?

1st;

Nice, but I think it needs a bit more 'curving' IMO.... possibly use a set of planar maps instead of tiled stuff, though, becuase some of the textures end a bit abruptly methinks.

2nd;

Beautiful design... looks... well, great actually.

Can't map them, that's the problem  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif)
I have all the Ancient fighters, 2 Apollos and that big bomber that I can't map.

I think the back part of #2 needs some more red..unless you want it to be a terran/shivan hybrid. Overall, looks real good  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
Now you need a Shivan corvette

for the Corvette I think it should have the look of a Rakshasa in textors and in diszine butt the most importdnt thing is it should be biger and better than the Moloch.

Not sure since I only just got hold of it, plus the next version will probably be a bit different. I still have to set its weapons up.

Actually, revise that: To keep the ratios realistic, you need 10 or 11 shivan corvettes, and maybe 30 cruiser  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

I remember, when I did the scylla for HT, it had to be special: it's very fast, and has ONLY laser turrets (gunstar should be happy lol), and five or six beams.
Anyway, I asked Aldo if he could redo the model for me, and he accepted to give it a try  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Wow, I can't believe I didn't see this before. That Shivan battleship looks really, really good.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Just one thing, though - on a lot of the Ancients ships, the structure and texturing of them is such that they are really hard to tell whether they are shooting at you, or flying away, or upside down, or what. Intentional? Just curious.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/redface.gif)
