Title: MODELs suggestions
Post by: TrashMan on May 31, 2003, 09:00:45 am: A bit of feedback.....

The DOTA staff is lazy when it comes to feedback, and I do want to hear the oppinion of larger masses, so....

NO1:
This is a basic design for a piraate warship.
Size, class and weapons are still not known...
The textures are basic ones, but it's just to get the feel of the ship..

FEEDBACK PEOPLE.... advice...

NO2:T
his is a light recoon fighter... the GTF Dagger
(http://www.inet.hr/~tstanici/Dagger.jpg)

Need feedback on this one:
- proposed stats
- which wing type is better (or maby a whole different style?)
- where to put the engines? green, blue or red? Or green&blue?

Post by: karajorma on May 31, 2003, 11:03:28 am: When I first saw the top right corner of this post I wondered for a split second who was posting a picture of my own Styx class corvette. :lol:

Given the similarities from the front and behind I can hardly say I hate it now can I? :)

As for the second ship why not make them all thrusters with the big one in the middle larger than the surrounding 4?

Not much good for atmospheric flying, but it'd look cool for a space fighter. As for your engines, do what the sniper dude said - stick a biggun in the middle, with smaller ones around the outside :nod:

HOO-RAH!

Post by: Black Wolf on May 31, 2003, 12:10:42 pm: Be careful with the concept of a Pirate Warship. In TI, pirates play a major role, and the heaviest ships they have are only about 80m long, and have only 7 turrets, though we are planning some small strike carriers. Basically, you have to remember that pirates aren't just convenient random enemies for the GTVA to fight while you're trying to work the main baddies into it. They're in it for the money. A warship would be...inconvenient. They'd be constantly blowing up the freighter they were trying to capture.

Fighter looks interesting though.

Post by: TrashMan on May 31, 2003, 12:14:30 pm: We'll.. it IS a recon fighter...
5 engines sound good to me..!:D
And the cooler wing..o.k.

THANX PEOPLE!

EDIT:
I am thinking of that..
Pirates have biggers ship, but nothing bigger than a corvette..
Mostly fighter/bombers and assault transports.
Now the pirates have help, that's why they can build cruisers and alike... from whom..I cannot tell........:D

Post by: Vilkacis on May 31, 2003, 03:36:12 pm: It looks pretty sleek, even if the texturing gives it that "look, I'm carved from a single block" appearance, but I'm sure you'll find a way to remedy that

Post by: Knight Templar on May 31, 2003, 10:37:19 pm: I'd name it something else personally. The GTVA (particularly the GTA) would be more likely to name it in the tradition of Greek/Roman/Norse Mythos and not something blunt (for lack of a better word) like Dagger. I'd use those kind of words for pirate ships or missles, not military fighters.

BTW Trashman I like both meshes but I think you have a lot of room for detail on the fighter, the engine can take it so why not add some? :nod:

Well whatever. I'm, just saying, it's alright ot have a ship named dagger or razor, it just sounds really unprofessional on a GTA fighter that usually would use a more elagant name like in the games.

Just keep in mind, you're the one that asked for suggestions.
