Title: Because they said it was underarmed ...
Post by: Baron MacDoblin on January 10, 2004, 04:53:49 am: A lot of people have been saying that my warships designs were underarmed. (Well, if by "a lot" you mean two, and if by "underarmed" "it doesn't have ventral turrets!".)

With that in mind, I give you this:

I was hoping for a better image, but my renderer broke :doubt: So you'll have to settle for this crappy screencap from gmax at the moment. I'm trying to decide whether to up the poly count or leave it with its ironcladdish look.

The other downside is that it doesn't have any rear turrets. This is obviously a rather large downside, but the fact is I don't have any place to put them. I've given it largish engines to compensate for that, so that (hopefully) the rear will never be unduly exposed. (Well, technically it's the large engines that CAUSED the problem in the first place, but we can't afford to be anal on this, can we?
:p )

course it would be! it would help 'persuade' the other parties to meet your demands. just park it right outside their docking bay and act all innocent and they won't be tryin' to get away...

Post by: Killfrenzy on January 10, 2004, 09:18:18 pm: Oooh......too tempting!

But apart from being pink and stuff, what would it look like?

And the first person who says 'phallic'.........:hopping:
