A smallish dev part of a big-assed animation I'm doing. The real thing is several megs in size right now (my DivX codec isn't working, and I'm working on including sound), so I can't upload it.

Exactly.

Actually, it's an obvious capitalization on a flaw in Carrara's atmosphere generator, and an old Hawk interceptor copy. But it doesn't matter.

Highlight the bottom of my last post, if you really must know. Not that it's relevant, really.

That looks like some scout probe that i remember seeing from the game Earth 2150,  the LC forces,  


or a orbital ion cannon

Ya know, from that distance it looks like a Nebulon B redux from XWing vs. TIE Fighter.

My orbital cannons don't have the wing things, 'cos they're really unnecessary. No way in hell you're gonna be able to power a crater-creating, several-thousand terawatt laser with a couple of little solar panels.

And the Phobos was kinda more... squat looking. Was supposed to be a flying radar dish, definitely not so pointy.

[shrugs]

You need a better power system anyway, so why not use the excess juice from that to provide the minimal power those'd need?

somehow i don't think there will be any "excess juice" when you set that thing off :P
