Title: ITD Ryujin

"The pride of the Tau Imperial Fleet, the Ryujin is the state of the art in tau technology. No ship, not even the Gaia, is more representative of the mankind power than this fantastic ship.  It's the most powerful ship ever built since the Colossus, gigantic ship destroyed during the second shivan incursion. The Ryujin is bigger, and much better hulled than the gaia, and is probably the only ship able to survive to a close encounter with a sathanas. The powerfull turrets, protected by their own shielding devices, can give punishment to any foe. It's not a very fast ship, but no ship can outlive this monster on the battlefield"

Excellent, but it looks like the ship has a few blind spots... especially between the long things with a dent in the end(heh love my use of words)   I could park my ship in there and use Helios 24/7  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)


I need a better view  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)

Give it a few "Imperialistic" textures..maybe striping yellow streams and stuff.. it looks a little plain the way it is. Give it something that makes it look patriotic  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

hehe, I asked for it, I have it  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)
ok, aboout blind spos: I'll put as many turrets as it's possible (since the polycount is quite low), so don't worry, you won't be able to hide anywhere  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

for the marks, I want to do that, I'll try, but with tiles, won't be easy (if I put a mark at one spot, it'll appear everywhere on the ship  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/frown.gif) )

Ok, great work, but I have a few nitpicks...

My first thought when I saw it, before reading anything, was: "Wow, awesome freighter!"  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif) Tyr to implement one of the 2 main ways of increasing the apparent size of a model, either by adding modeled datails, or increasing the texture tiling in specific places.

Also, it was those X-like textures that really made me think "cargo freighter" at first glance. Then again, maybe that's the point.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

How big is it?

actually, it's very big (3Km long), and it does look huge very big ingame. the fact is that the there's really a lot of tilling, so much it's not clearly visible on that pic. believe me ingame it looks just great.

You know, I hate being the voice of discord (well, actually I don't....) but this thing is nowhere near as cool/good as your fighters.  To me, an Orion is much cooler looking.
