It could use a little retexturing though but the basic shape is great.

Of course it looks familiar. That is (or was) the Taiidan Missile Destroyer out of Homeworld.

The blue parts are supposed to be part of the engine and ion cannon systems. I will either make them animated or will change it to Tcov7A for the internal hardware looks.

I was using Tcov2A for the textures, but I had to brighten it in order for me to see. But then again, Tcov2A is just a darkened AWAC1A.

Also, the fins stay, just because I like them. :p

Give it some good armour textures - Deimos- or Hecate-style, I think.:yes:

One thing - has it got a fighter bay? You could do a kick-ass assault carrier if you change the cannon pods to launch bays and give it a load of AAA beams.:nod: :drevil:

Cool stuff!:)

Yeah but that wasn`t what was ringing a bell. It also reminded me of a ship from Untouchables Modeldump a while back.

Here. Judge for yourselves

And I made a similar-looking model, the Hyperion, that I am almost finished with. (http://www.geocities.com/cek_83/cruiser3.txt)

What's so freaky about a VERY good design?

PS: I'm working on the model you mentioned for my first project.

Just that so many people had similar designs pretty much independantly.

The turrets, as I have found out, are flagrantly bad. Measures have been taken to improve the turret system. Also, paths need to be done and THEY ARE NOT EASY!

In what way? and what sort of turrets does it have?
Title: Taiidan Missile Destroyer -> GTCv Andarius
Post by: Rampage on February 23, 2003, 04:28:59 pm: I got the turret problems fixed. It's now just paths, which will take an additional week. (I have a very productive life.)
