You should make a third one or a fourth one so the choices become easier :D.

I think I prefer the techier one. The classical one is less fitting to the narrative of "new ships new techs" in Freespace 2.

Although I understand Trivial's point. Almost seems like a thing from Halo.

Also, I love how the model is going :yes:

I really like the sleek, angular multiparts (first version?) but the turrets on the model closest to the viewer in the p3d look closer to the retail turrets.
This is a hard decision as they both look spectacular.
My final opinion would be the first version. Looks like an excellent road to go down.
<Axem> yet still more insightful than #hard-light

<Axem> jad2.23 will just be cat videos

<DahBlount> So
<DahBlount> JAD2.2 is like that
<Axem> maybe
<Axem> it can be whatever you like!
<DahBlount> A Chocolate Sundae?
<Axem> sure

I would stick with the first version as well, those sleek angular turrets look way too cool. Plus they feel a little more armored and solid than the other version which seems to have soft spots everywhere.

Mmm.. I think I'm starting to let WoT filter in my everyday thinking process.

I think the turrets on the version that appears closer to the initial camera view fit the model's aesthetic more than the other turrets.

One more vote for the blocky turrets.

I'd like to see the newest ones in the final version, they are closer looking to the retail ones. These V- shaped multiparts don't fit the line of the entire ship when you look at them from the top

  • Groooove Evening, viewers!
I also prefer the "rounder" or "less sleek" turrets, they look more Terran to me. The other ones look a little out of place, IMHO.

The ones with the wider-spaced barrels look better imho. Up to you though.

Like Trivial Psychic, I much prefer the bulkier turrets (the ones that initially appear closer to the POV). They seem to fit the aesthetic of the ship better.

The sleek turrets look cool; perhaps too cool for the Deimos.

I prefer the first set. More mean looking.
If I agreed with you, we would both be wrong

Angular vs blocky. GO.

I vote for blocky turrets  :yes:. They look more in line with the rest of the model. Both look awesome though.

I change my mind, your comments are convincing me, I guess I am suffering from groupthink or whatever but I am inclined to agree with all who vote on the more blocky bezeled turrets.

[22:29] <sigtau> Hello, #hard-light?  I'm trying to tell a girl she looks really good for someone who doesn't exercise.  How do I word that non-offensively?

Still prefer the angular ones.  These feel too much like light artillery, IMO.

If you delete the angular ones and don't keep them for something else, I'm going to be very cross.

 
Definitely like the boxy ones best.
May the Force be with you

If the technobabble about these weapons are correct in any way, these things surpass artillery. :P

I wept. Mysterious forces beyond my ken had reached into my beautiful mission and energized its pilots with inhuman bomb-firing abilities. I could only imagine the GTVA warriors giving a mighty KIAAIIIIIII shout as they worked their triggers, their biceps bulging with sinew after years of Ivan Drago-esque steroid therapy and weight training. - General Battuta

I mean that they feel more like mid-range standoff weapons, not close range, relatively defensive ones.

The sleek-looking ones look like they belong on a Raynor or Titan. Rule of Cool also makes them look like they should shoot lasers or energy blobs rather than flak. The boxy ones look like they shoot flak cos science says so.
