Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Anaz on October 22, 2003, 07:47:24 pm: Well, not especially cool, especially with raven's stuff lurking around (damn you and your 1337ness! :p)

but, if anyone remembers my little corporate ship (http://www.hard-light.net/forums/index.php/topic,15928.0.html), this is something in the same vein. Basically it is a corporate frigate for my campaign-mod-thing Shadow Play, that in all odds will never get done :p, but I keep making things for the universe. This basically protects corporate interests, guards convoys, things of that nature. Also some mercinary companies would use these. They're pretty much all-purpose ships, a bit larger than a levi/fenris (included in images for scale), but they don't really accel at anything. They've got fairly balanced anti-fighter and anti-cap weapons. Note: I'm not done turreting it yet.

It looks like it's missing something, though...

Good So far.

Post by: Anaz on October 22, 2003, 08:29:32 pm: damnit...looking at the geosphere now, it does look out of place

it didn't used to :(

:lol:

Post by: Knight Templar on October 22, 2003, 09:24:51 pm: Lookin' good despite the sphere. :yes:
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Anaz on October 22, 2003, 09:35:57 pm: well...so far the radar dish I tried looked even worse than the geosphere...so I'm going to bed..will try to work on this more tomorrow, hopefully other people will have added their input on what should replace the sphere (rather than just telling me it looks bad :p)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: StratComm on October 22, 2003, 09:45:48 pm: Who says you have to replace it? Just get rid of it as far as I can tell. You might try some greebling there (raised access hatch or recessed viewing area with windows)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: mikhael on October 22, 2003, 10:21:43 pm: Not bad at all. I rather like it.

Did you ever make an attempt at doing JC Denton's rework of your corporate ship? His sketch was gorgeous, and to be honest, it really deserves an attempt.

Post by: Setekh on October 22, 2003, 10:21:55 pm: She looks great, Anaz. :) I would remove it altogether and just texture it nicely, if you're able. :yes:
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Darkage on October 23, 2003, 04:12:16 am: It looks cool!:yes: I like it, although it reminds me of a Omega destroyer:)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: TrashMan on October 23, 2003, 04:16:32 am: :D
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: karajorma on October 23, 2003, 05:39:17 am: Yeah it's pretty similar to an EA omega. That said I think the Omega is one of the nicest ships in Sci-fi so I can't complain much about this :D

Very good :) But I agree about getting rid of the dome :)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: phreak on October 23, 2003, 09:02:53 am: interesting..

uh im not a modeler, what is "greebling" anyway?
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Flaser on October 23, 2003, 09:09:53 am: Place the shpehere on the top of the ship and give it some rectangular base stucture.
I guess it must be a radar dome or something...

Little details like antennae, viewports, etc.

Post by: Nuclear1 on October 23, 2003, 10:42:23 am: It looks familiar somehow, but familiar this time is coooool. :yes:
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: magatsu1 on October 23, 2003, 12:29:58 pm: dump the golf ball and just add a few spikey things (like probes 'n' stuff)
:yes:
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: pyro-manic on October 23, 2003, 01:55:58 pm: Nice. :) What about a ramscoop type thingy?
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: pyro-manic on October 23, 2003, 02:05:18 pm: Arse. Double post. I hate this Mac....

Anyway, did you actually finish that other ship afterwards? It was pretty damn good... :)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Gloriano on October 23, 2003, 02:05:34 pm: nice:) :yes:
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Anaz on October 23, 2003, 05:36:30 pm: oooh...cool...

I like a lot of these ideas. I'm surprised only one person caught the omega refrence...I make 2 other ships that look similar to ones that I've never heard of, and the connection is made in less posts then here :D. Anyhow. I'm probably going to delete the geosphere, and I'm not completely sure how to model a ramscoop (seems like it'd have to be hella bigger than the geosphere space for it to actually DO anything). I'll probably put some recessed/extruded areas there instead. Picture updates when I'm happy with it.

Post by: Anaz on October 23, 2003, 09:03:47 pm: Updated front. Looks cool:

Post by: redsniper on October 23, 2003, 09:17:19 pm: very nice :yes:
what program did you make it in?
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Anaz on October 23, 2003, 09:29:19 pm: the same program I make everything in, Truespace :D ;)
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Nuclear1 on October 23, 2003, 09:47:40 pm: Nice change to the front.
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Anaz on October 24, 2003, 05:03:00 pm: now I have to figure out what to do with the rest of the model...turret and texture, or keep adding detail?
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Baron MacDoblin on October 26, 2003, 02:05:46 am: I like it ... I don't know what to make of it, but I like it!
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Akalabeth Angel on October 26, 2003, 02:37:49 pm: Instead of those point things on the top of the foreward hull why not put on a Radar dish like the Fenris or Orion has? As a corporate warship it would make sense for them to have sub-par technology so old things like Radar dishes would fit right in there. I assume that was the function of the original sphere, a radar type of thing? Hell you could just take the radar off the Fenris and plop it right on there if you could. Would probably look good.
Title: I make cool thing
Post by: Flaser on October 27, 2003, 04:32:34 pm: Instead sphere you could use some globular object with less polies, so it would look like a sensor covered with a crude cover made of armor plates.

Ohhhh, I feel flatered... and lot :)

Nice model you done there if you ask me. I wold only change the engines to something more "abstract" if you catch my drift...

Also, I did like the sphere in the front :)
