Post by: QXMX on May 22, 2001, 10:20:00 am

Is it hitpoints, armament, size, function, etc?

Function.

A good ships' hull has to be designed around its' capabilities and function to look any good.

For example, an orion has a large hangar bay but is also a front-line warship with low maintenance, hence its' butt-ugly "heavy" appearance.

And hence the rework of my contest entry which noone is seeing until its' finished.
so there :P

The Orion does look very intimidating though. I wouldn't wanna meet that thing in a dark alley  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/smile.gif)

Does the power output entry in the TBL files actually account for this?
