I have completed several Shivan fighter meshes for Attempted Suicides. They're untextured, but I think the mesh itself is pretty self-explanatory. I can't wait to finish them.

Keep in mind that these two meshes are in their preliminary stages. I'm still working on detail. In the meantime, enjoy the incomplete eyecandy!

They look okay at the mo.......can't wait for the textures.....
BTW, I'm having real trouble designing 'pointy' stuff.....
-
Let me guess, the first one is an interceptor and the second, is a heavy assault fighter. I wouldn't give that second model an arm like you've got now, I would just extend it somewhat like on the Shaitan.
-
First one: :yes:
Second one: Skinny Ethiopian boy Arm! No! Bad! Get it off! Get it off! :no:
-
Perhaps if you insist on having the arm, you could try something like this:
It was done in paint, and it shows :p

They are cool!!!
But, I must agree with the rest... take off the arm, and put more spikes on it, Or a side engine and(you guessed) spikes

For the sake of political correctness, you're now obliged to name all other 5th world sub-Saharan nations stricken with HIV and civil war. Why can't it be a skinny Sudani boy arm? Or a Kenyan boy arm? Or even a Nigerian boy arm? Exactly! What you need, sir, is - political correctness.
About the models, I will fix the - arm by adding spikes to it. They will be textured next week. Also, I have a new Shivan bomber coming your way that carries a subspace weapon!
-
I like the are without spikes, but it could probably be thicker.
-
Me likes, but fatter/more sinewy arm. :yes:
-
Cool enough, but looking far to much like the Perseus in their side elevations. And make that arm big and bladed like Strat said and you're on to a winnner.
-
that arm is a bad idea.
not enough room for guns, and far to fragile.
make it a bit thicker and put something like a missile bank on it.

:wtf: Nobody cares about Sudan. The Kenyan's can run faster than the speed limit in school zones and Nigerian boys have RPG's for arms.
Don't you watch South Park? :p
-
First one: Shivan Perseus! Neat, but a little too much like the Perseus. Flip it upside down and make a few modifications, see what happens.
Second one: I like the idea of having an arm like that very much, but the end where the guns sit is, again, too Terran and certainly not structurally stable. Suppose you got rid of the tip and simply ended the arm with a spike?

Nope. I'm too old and too conservative.
-
Well your children probably do then. Ask them. :p
-
Am i the only one who likes the arm?:blah:
-
Actually, you're just drunk.
-
He's dutch. They're all like that... ;)

*Runs from the inevitibility of Tiara's Axe

Erm, i wasn't drunk when i posted that:D I am almost never drunk anymore.
-
Well, then Darky, send all your b34r h34r. ;)
-
Is that the nose from the Yali?
-
Bulk out #2's arm by adding an engine on the back and a s**tload of guns n' missiles on the front. Also, #2 is far too much like the Perseus. Mebbe bulk out the front, just under the cockpit, to stop the 'neck' looking so stretched?
Very nice, though. I wish I could be bothered to design fighters...
-
If the head on #1 was rounded, it would look terran vasudan

It's based off of the Mara's nose design; only the side fins are practically identical.

I have created a new mesh!

Comments? Criticism?
-
Comments: very nice. Subspace bomber means that it fires some kind of subspace weapon, right? Like a bomb that warps to its target?
Criticism: can't think of any, except that those images are kinda grey. Black background with more contrast would be better.

No. It's weapon is similar to the one used by the Sathanas to destroy Capella.
-
I love fighter #1, with that nose reminds me of teh Lucifer! Maybe those fighters were designed at same time? Second reminds me off Ravana... Let us know when #1 is finished I wanna get it bad! Sweet!...

That is too ridiculous for words to describe. And I thought beam bombers were bad... :lol:
-
Why not just give all shivan ships subspace guns then? :doubt:
-
I assume he means it's a similar weapon BUT MUCH SMALLER :D
Otherwise we are talking about the stupidest concept ever heard in Sci-fi. :D

It's done, and it's called the SF Ashtur. Oh yeah, it now belongs to Inferno.
-
I believe there was a vessel called the 'Sun Crusher' in the Star Wars novels. It was the size of a fighter, was indestructible, and carried torpedoes built to send stars supernova.
I think it ended up in the Mau, but apparently it was capable of surviving the gravity of a Black Hole, so it's merely trapped.
-
And it was shaped like an Ice Cream Cone. :)
-
Exactly. So I don't think anyone will take the 'stupidest Sci-fi concept' trophy away from that ship. Not even a Shivan star-killing bomber. At least Shivan ships aren't indestructible... yet...
-
err.. why was it stupid? Other than being riduculously powerful, although that was the whole point..
-
The idea that its weapons systems, miniaturized components, and molecular armor each cost as much to develop as the original Death Star? And that it could single-handedly destroy an entire star system in a matter of hours?
Not to mention that it could be piloted by ONE person... and that it was able to be stolen... basically any maniac could have destroyed the entire galaxy. Yeah, that's... stupid.
-
Meh. :doubt:
It was still a good book.
-
IIFC the starcrusher drove thru the star. Not luanched torpedos at it. Or maybe I'm just remembering the part where that one jedi makes that Pirate think the star crusher is about to ram her ship. :doubt:
-
It shot Resonance Torpedoes at stars, not go through them.
