Looks more like a freighter to me.... Is that some sort of uber-cannon in the front?

the bits that look a little like orian destroyers, are they the bits you are refering too.  they are going to mount most of the firepower.  and i may make a small version to act as the main fighter housed within it.

The flat wing like things should be removed in my oppinion.

the whole model looks just...strange...

It looks more like a station then a Jug IMO With some slight modifications it could actually be a great station. You can have those pillars act as docking pylons. You could add a few gas tanks on the flat part as storage compartments. ;)

I think such a station would be great!

I have yet to see anyone successfully pull that off (Volition included.) You can come up with a reasonable model, but texturing something like that is nearly impossible. The best I've seen is the old Kurruk, with some Typhon, Hecate and Colossus textures.

But you seem to be making good progress, so keep it up, bearing in mind how it's going to be textured. Keep your eye on the polycount, though, unless you're planning on HT&L.

Well, thank you. Maybe I'll release that one... With credits of course...

I think it would make a pretty decent installation, myself. :) How are you at texturing? ;)

Not the best but i would like to try (again).  But i can't make animated textures that should work with fso 3.5.5.  I want to make the mining station varient with moving gas chambers on one of the wings.

Well here is about the best paint job i have on one of the varients.  It is still unturreted but hey that can happen later.  If anyone feels that they can do a better job or wants to try to do a better job i can e-mail the cob file to you.
