Looks great!

This isn't the one that Goober said we shouldn't use in the TVWP is it?

Wow. That's great. Can't wait to see it textured.:)

I'm not fond of the nose, nor the engine section, Raa. Otherwise it looks great.

In the modelling thread? Yeah it is. He said something about too many terran capships...

I wasn't too happy with the nose either. But I do like the engines. I may re-model the nose later if I think I want to do something with it.

chop the nose off, make a hole there, a relitivly deep hole (and textured so you can't see the bottom of it), fill the hole with lots of long thin things sticking out of it from semi-random places, one or two relitively thick cluncky bits

I already made a new version with a different nose, but I could try that too. :drevil:

1 - OK.
2 - Tough.
3 - Inspiration (See siggy)
4 - Can't. My PC is not connected to the internet for a while longer.
4b - I've been focusing on TVWP models. I have made a fighter, bomber and carrier for them already.

Speaking of which, check our internal. Nice suprise in it.

for some weird reason that ship reminds me of someting out of starlancer with a touch of wing commander
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Flaser on January 26, 2004, 03:47:31 pm
It looks civy - not that it is a bad thing.

The whole open setup coveys that it isn't built to witstand.

I put lights.pcx in there, like crew quarters. Guarded by the heavy plating. :D

Wehey nice! :)

Post by: c914 on January 27, 2004, 08:15:49 am
looks like very early GTA ship. Add some old fasion turrets andwe got ideal destroer to TVWP:D
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Setekh on January 27, 2004, 10:40:08 pm
Agreed, I'm thinking early GTA as well. Slap on those textures, Raa! :)
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Havock on February 07, 2004, 04:02:49 pm
yeah, perhaps a decommisioned class destroyer that is in use by civilians/mercs as either a destroyer, base of operations or a big cargo ship with fighter cover.

*i assume companies will have some firepower of their own in that time.

it looks great, bit lowtech, but that's not a bad thing.

*khhhh* Impressive...Most Impressive...*khhhhh*

But I have to agree with KT...the rear end looks a bit wierd with all those INtrusions

Ditto. My real p is with the T section, but  think losing all the fins and keeping just the "stocky" rest would make it loo like a nice, beefy ship. But that's all about tastes, I suppose.

Post by: Taristin on February 07, 2004, 06:09:50 pm
Well, I changed the front a while ago, but it looks too much like a dog for my liking.

It'll be better once the ground is gone Raa, the shadow makes it look ready to compete in Robot Wars.
Awesome model, as always :)

I like, I likeeeeee. The style looks like and reminds me of Space Above and Beyond....
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: phreak on February 07, 2004, 08:15:45 pm
not bad.

I wonder if LL has a name for it.
Title: umm
Post by: Star Dragon on February 07, 2004, 09:48:29 pm
It's probably just me but, that rear tower makes it look more like a cargo ship to me. How about lowering it a little?
Title: I just realized I spelled 'Terran' wrong...
Post by: Taristin on February 07, 2004, 10:37:33 pm
I textured this a while ago too. I think it was immediately after I made it. Meh. :blah:

Post by: redsniper on February 07, 2004, 11:10:34 pm
WOW! it looks sweet textured, awesome :yes:
one question tho, where's the fighterbay?
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Liberator on February 07, 2004, 11:12:17 pm
Only problem: no lights of any kind on the tower.

Otherwise it great.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Black Wolf on February 08, 2004, 02:49:19 am
The new model reminds me a lot of some of the 158th stuff, though the Texs change that a fair bit, obviously.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: c914 on February 08, 2004, 06:54:25 am
look good nowe add some turrets:).
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: aldo_14 on February 08, 2004, 07:48:14 am
Neato.  

I'd suggest decreasing the reps on the light textures a bit, tho - i it makes the repeated pattern obvious, which kind of hurts how 'realistic' the model looks.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Taristin on February 08, 2004, 09:21:40 am
Aldo: Point. I'll probably fix that. But I wanted them to show how frickin' huge the ship was meant to be.

Liberator: Yeah, I'll put some, perhaps. Make a bridge out of it.

Redsniper: I'm 75% sure I put one on the bottom, but I can't remember at the moment.

Corhellion:  I already made it into a pof. But I have yet to turret the beast.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Taristin on February 08, 2004, 10:03:38 am
OK, yeah, there is a massive fighterbay/dockbay on the bottom. It's located between the second wing things on the thicker neck.

Pb is, even this way, it doesn't look huge, honestly.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: kasperl on February 08, 2004, 10:24:06 am
for making it look huge, i suggest dark maps with lot of thiny window like lights. someone did this to the Colussus and the Hecate,and those looked huge.

Since I don't feel like making another thread...

I'm calling this one double hung, just to get Woolie to comment. ;)
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: aldo_14 on February 08, 2004, 11:50:42 am
Nice, but it looks a bit, i dunno, bashed at the mid & back end.  Maybe just needs smoothing to the maps.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Flipside on February 08, 2004, 12:03:59 pm
Does look like you've lost your no-claims bonus there :(

I agree with Aldo, possibly turn down the smoothing on the model?

Looks good, just, erm, dented :)
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Taristin on February 08, 2004, 12:05:14 pm
If you mean the red rusty bits, it's indented so the thrustersfrom the forward engines don't hit the ship. :)
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: aldo_14 on February 08, 2004, 12:23:06 pm
I meant the rear-bit where it curves in a shallow V at the top. :)
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Taristin on February 08, 2004, 12:52:26 pm
Oh. Well, it looks better when you can move it around a bit.

Congrats

Post by: Sheepy on February 08, 2004, 06:08:40 pm
i do like that one, looks a little ship with a fair bit of punch ... either that or some cival service thing ... do they have garbage collection is space ... or possibly a cop car/fast thing ... well basically it could be anything so yeah, ill shut up now.
Title: Teran Destroyer
Post by: Taristin on February 08, 2004, 07:14:42 pm
It's got a fighterbay too. :D
