Hey just finish my first fighter (//"http://freespace.0catch.com/normal.html"), sorta. I do need to do some things to it tho. If you have suggestions or just wanna say it sucks then feel free. It's name for now is Valkyrie MK III, but I know this is not consistant with the timeline. So if there are any suggestions that would be great.

Not bad. Reminds me of the shuttle from Star Wars. With a little modeling work and a good texturing job, it looks like it could be Vasudan. It doesn't look much like the beloved Valk, so another name would be better, I think.

Actually, I'd say that it was the Excalibur from B5 with the fuselage shortened a great deal.

It made me think of the Sobek ("http://freespace.volitionwatch.com/techfs/ships/sobek.shtml"), which isn't a fighter, but still the trefoil design got me. The Anubis is a better match though.

Ok. I posted this at the Freespace board.

It looks to big to be an interceptor, more like a heavy assult. Dont get me wrong its a good model, but interceptors to me are supposed to be slender, fast, meduim payload. I know its not my model and hotsnoj can do whatever he wants with it, but thats what i think it should be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I'm not to sure of it myself! I'm thinking of putting at the end of the two bottom or all the wings a pod for secondary weapons to make it a Light anti-cap fighter. And I'm also thinking of making one or both primary weapons point down at an angle so you can fly parallel to the capital ship and hit it at the same time. Thats my idea all mine. You can thank me later!

Hey. Thats not too bad. But may I suggest making the cockpit in the front narrower.
Eg.) Don't make it look so "fat."
I really like the way you made it "jagged" like that. Makes it look cool.

That texturing doesn't fit with the FS universe at all. Looks like it was carved out of wood.

Keep working on the mod though and if you truely like the shape of your model then stick with it. A good texture job can work wonders on any model. If you're serious about building models then I would advise you to apply yourself to learning texturing. It seems hard but once you've figured it out it's pretty rewarding  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

NUTS! Oh well I'll still live. Anyway one of the reasons the textures aren't very good is because I'm using trueSpace 2. I use that because as you know there are no other programs to use to save in cob or scn.

Did you even look at the page much less the front and side pix.

The way one reason that I went with the tri-wing design is because I'm going for a ship that you can't really tell what direction it's going if you look at it from the front or back. Or what way they are gooing to go (ie pull up, bank right or left) that way its should be harder to fallow.

Well that is what makes it what it is. Maybe a second gen will have that idea in it.

To who ever told me about that Lunwrap or whatever it is, THANX. making some progres already on it(and the ship).
