Post by: J.F.K. on March 23, 2003, 01:17:36 am: Looks pretty cool, but I get the impression that there's a lot of good detail there which we miss out on because the beam is over-exposed. Fine if you want it like that, though.

I really have a thing about ships that are basically a primitive with tons and tons of greebles on it, but other than that...

I was going to say something about that, but it's probably in the name of functionality...

And I have a thing about ships which are airy-fairy and at the same time are supposed to be efficient warships. Now that we have that cleare up, moving on....

Post by: Razor on March 23, 2003, 03:35:41 am: I don't know Shrike. Model is quite cool, I like it. Beams eeeeh...the color is a bit disturbing. :nervous: :shaking: Change that. Stars could use some work though because it looks as though as you made them in paint or something. Make them a bit smaller.

EDIT: It seems that the beams are fired from the laser turrets and the upper two beams somehow merge with each other. Perhaps you should find a better turret to fire them from. :)

Post by: Shrike on March 23, 2003, 04:03:19 am: The beams merging is solely a trick of viewpoint. And it only has two beam turrets. All the rest are little pulse turrets, or missile bays.

Hmm, just got a new beam idea...

Post by: beatspete on March 27, 2003, 03:04:58 pm: As mentioned, background needs improvement. And do beams really have shaddows? Put some purple reflection/illumination on the ship and it should look good.
