What a... titanic accomplishment.

[tomimaki]

Cool. It'll be a pleasure to die under Imperiouse's fire.

[Col.Hornet]

yay. It's finished


Now please finish this one

Excellent source of inspiration in my opinion

[Makhpella]

Holy ****, that Titan looks gorgeous. I had to get used to the Erebus, but this...This is brilliant.

If you could also update this photo whenever you have the time, that would be perfect.

Bah, not fond of the beam cluster at all. I complained about this when it was first showcased, but of course nobody listened. The original arrangement was better, now they look like they could all be taken out with a single torpedo. I guess we can now count the Titan amongst ships that got all their distinctive features stripped over the course of remaking them. Not fond of circular intakes, either. The overall result is not really a bad model (except for the beam cluster, that thing's awful and would be better replaced with a single beam, if anything), but just looks generic, much like the Erebus.

[Col.Hornet]

Wasn't the beam setup the source of problems with firing? At least I noticed that when I was having fun with Titan in FRED. 

[General Battuta]

The only thing I miss from the old model is the more irregular, dynamic shape of the spine - with the swell along the front and the fin at the back. But I ain't complaining if we get a gorgeous new model.

[Lowane]

Wow. The Titan looks stunning, absolutely stunning.

same but i too am gay

I don't really like the cluster either, I think the front looked more interesting with the beams spread out.

Plz don't

Yes, I too consider awkwardness and googly eyes a distinctive feature.  Unlike you, however, I don't think that "distinctive" means "good".  I'm glad they're gone and I wouldn't make a model that had them.  I kept the things that I thought looked good.

And you like Wing Commander.  You have no ground to stand on calling anything generic as a negative.  Or is generic just a catch-all term for **** you don't like?

Not intakes, btw.  Reverse thrusters.  Hence why they have the same model as the forward thrusters.

I agree.   I'm quite dissatisfied with the spine.

I don't really like the cluster either, I think the front looked more interesting with the beams spread out.

Couldn't make it work without having a really obvious face on the front of the ship.  Faces annoy the **** out of me.  You get Shivan-y triangle instead.

TBH, the last sentence wasn't really negative, just kind of "meh". Yes, Wing Commander fleets all play the "generic Terran ship design" to the hilt. Scooby Doo took this aesthetic and ran with it, resulting in a large number of good, multipurpose models (they don't look out of place even in the animesque Dimensional Eclipse).

That said, the original Titan was a very unique and interesting ship, which was a good thing. It lost that in the remake. That said, now that I've looked at it in PCS2, it's not all bad. I'm not really fond of the reverse thruster idea (especially since it's the only ship that has them and FSO isn't all that good at making them work), but if you replaced them with Erebus-style intakes and changed that horrible beam cluster, I could warm up to it. It kind of reminds me of Argon warships from X2 and X3. I suppose the spine could be more "dynamic" like Battuta said, but you could also go further away from the original and make it completely flat, like on Erebus.

Couldn't make it work without having a really obvious face on the front of the ship.  Faces annoy the **** out of me.  You get Shivan-y triangle instead.

Eh, it'd have been better off with a face. Now that you mentioned it, the triangle does look Shivan and rather out of place on an otherwise very Terran ship. What you could do would be to kick two of those beams off to the outriggers and have the third centrally between them (maybe slightly above or below, but not too far above or you'll get a face again). Indeed, there are two flat surfaces on the outriggers which look like a perfect location for two of the beams.

[Phantom Hoover]

Aesaar are you sure you aren't just unusually prone to pareidolia? Because this is not the first time you've redone the front of a ship because you couldn't stop seeing faces in it.

I honestly think the guy's a bit nutters, aside from the chronic pie kleptomania

[Mars]

This is why we can't have nice things. If you really prefer your own creative direction, make your own models.

I disagree.  It was unique, but it was not interesting.  In Caiaphas' words, it looked like "a disturbingly dildo-shaped shiny space liner".  I just think it looked awkward, bulgy, and googly-eyed, much like the Hyperion.

And they're not intakes on the Erebus either.  Notice how they look very similar to the Hyperion's main engines.  They don't need to be functional, they just need to add visual interest to an otherwise flat and featureless area.  They're circular here because the Titan is curvier than the Erebus is, so these fit better.

I had versions with a face on them.  I preferred to start from scratch than keep them.  No, it would not have been better off with a face.  The Shivan comparison was very deliberate, and was intended to fit with BP's own narrative comparisons between the Shivans and the GTVA.  I like to think it works.

In any case, the prow isn't changing.  I settled on this after completely clearing the front of the ship three or four times.   I'm certainly not changing it at your request, especially since I quite like it and it's already been UV mapped and textured.

I really mean no disrespect to Scooby Doo when I say this, but this is exactly what I mean.  I don't like Scooby's ships at all.  Not even a little.  The models are technically good, but that exemplifies how terrible WC ship designs are (his HD Bearcat is a stronger indictment of WC ship designs than I could ever make).  They're incredibly boring to me.  Knowing that he and I are never going to agree, I try to stay away from his threads.  His art style and mine are incompatible.

If you like like his ships and dislike mine, you and I have nothing to discuss.  I'm never going to make a ship you like.

I'll see what I can do.
