Originally a cruiser, but I thought it might make a decent civilian liner. I may change that hull texture. I don't know. On one hand it looks good, 'cause it suggests the ship is old, has been used for some time.
On the other hand, it's a bit dull.

Oh, and name suggestions welcome. ;)

Post by: Stunaep on March 22, 2003, 11:05:26 am: The textures look superb! Leave 'em the way they are.

btw, you using that for something? I'd be happy to practice turreting on it. :p

I made a civilian liner too, once, for my old descent campaign. not the same style at all tho :)

I'll just whip up some LODs and release the model files. :)

Post by: KARMA on March 22, 2003, 02:24:53 pm: i like the style but personally i think that a civilian liner should have much more windows, and that the actual window textures aren't so good and probably it is little low poly, boh maybe it's just me
for the hull texture, yes its good, but try to change its color, make some variations and test to see the better one
oh and nameplating would be good too

and the hull colour upfront is :ick

Post by: Killfrenzy on March 22, 2003, 07:05:34 pm: Baseball bat.

And too much yellow, too few windows.

But can I have the cob? I'd like to retexture it and use it as something else - that is, if you don't mind. :)

And that yellow texture is... kind of odd, like rock more than metal sortof.

I didn't say luxury liner :p

Close-up of the hull texture.

Post by: diamondgeezer on March 23, 2003, 09:21:57 am: Try texturing it white, instead of gold. Like a modern liner.

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 23, 2003, 10:22:00 am: It could be some sort of tramp steamer.

To me it looks like a hand-held hoover.

And Ryx, don't post anymore, as your post count is 1337!

Title: Civilian Liner
Post by: ZylonBane on March 24, 2003, 06:45:04 pm: Sweet frollicking llamas! Those engines are almost half the length of the ship! At least they seem to be in some shots. However you did those renders, something is seriously messed up with the perspective.

And feh on the ugly yellow texture.

Looks pretty good.
Title: Civilian Liner
Post by: ZylonBane on March 25, 2003, 11:34:57 am: Looks nice. :yes:

But still, massive engines for a putt-putt civilian ship. Looks more like a blockade runner.

Maybe like concorde this thing is far faster than the averge transport and needs big engines (and a hefty bank balance to afford tickets).

Post by: Petrarch of the VBB on March 25, 2003, 01:37:57 pm: I think it would make a great ramming frigate. If the front end were solid metal, adn the engines had an afterburner capability it cuold do a lot of damage to capships.

Post by: SKYNET-011 on March 25, 2003, 03:07:38 pm: It looks like a freighter with the old skin. :nod:

Much better.

Post by: Ryx on March 26, 2003, 05:51:50 am: OK here are the model files. Someone else will have to do the POF-bit.

Tweak as you wish.

I need this really bad....:drevil:

Post by: Star Dragon on March 27, 2003, 03:44:30 pm: Hey Ryx! Mouch better choice on the texture (that old one made it look like a rusted old frieghter - still cool but unless I was slumiing to bab5 or mars I's be taking coach class instead of "cargo" class ;)

haven't looked at the file yet but is this isn't armed can someone make a varient that can defend itself or better yet show one that ws pressed into military service (I'm sorry disney cruise lines, we need to take your ship as an emergency medical ship. you'll have to dump your passengers and report to the nearest military ship yard for refitting) :lol: (images the mickey logo with camo applied)...
