I liked the effects like the missle trails and the lasers. But the design of those bombers needs more work I think.

more work?

I think it has way enough work...
her, why do people assume those are bombers and bombs anyway? they're not, they're fighters and missiles, damnit!

The design of those "fighters" makes us assume they are bombers. They are not sleek like fighters should be.

And those missiles look like bombs...

should be? Is there a rule? It's not Freespace, and I like my ships to be that way, with my own universe I'm free to do the things the way I like. I'm aiming more to a kind of "retro" design, somehow like WW2 fighters but in space. I don't see any reason why fighters should have to be slick in space anyway
If I am to make a bomber, believe me, you'll see the difference
The missiles are very large for various reasons I don't feel like explaining now. They may not look like missiles coz they have no fins, but none of my missiles have fins (what for? useless mass, in space... ). get used to it

Kudos to  Venom for some realism. Gotz to remember guys, in a vacumn there's no need for a fighter to be sleek. Streamlining doesn't do you any good, so speed is all about power/weight ratios. I've long contended that the admittedly somewhat ugly terran fighters from Babylon 5 may be the most realistic depiction of a space-fighter ever. What makes this a fighter instead of a bomber is the big friggin forward-directed main guns, and all that thrust off that big collection of engines that each of those things has. Thats some beautiful work man. I wish I could texture like that. Maybe someday....

Yeah... Setekh said I could update my own gallery a while ago. Now that he's gone, Shrike said I could do it for everyone now that Set is gone...

I'll update it later. Photoshop is being a *****.

It isnt....

Nice, my only comments would be to make the laser blasts less orderly. (i.e. staggered patterns like WWII bullets)

Also some lens flare/glare with the missiles and engines makes it seem more realistic.

How about we just say "released"?

Like he says, this is incredibly good work - that ship kicks major ass, well done
