Title: Should I make this a two-seater?
Post by: TrashMan on February 24, 2007, 03:54:53 pm

Acording to the ingame animations, msot terran ships are two seaters (since hte Apollo was one and comparing hte cockpit size/length to other fighters/bombers).

I wonder if hte vasudan fighters are also two-seaters..

Anyway, I'm making a high-poly version of the GVF Shrike and I'm contemplating on the number of fishlovers inside..

For size comparison, the Phoenix is sliglty above the Shirke, tothe left and it's approx 29m long.

the old Shirke is in the background.

I can't comment about the number of seats, but I should point out that the cockpit design you are using looks too Terran for a Vasudan craft.

Have you seen the Seth? It's the same as terran cockpits (altough note that the jellowish color is just there to help me visualyl see teh canopy when I model.. the texture job will be similar to hte orginal in teh background)

And I think I'll make it a one seater..that means getting rid of hte the rear canopy opening...

I just think that Vasudan cockpits should be more elliptical or egg-shaped, rather than long and narrow... except of course when they're recessed into the hull, or part of the nose of the ship.

Remember that the Vasudans are giants!

One seat for me <---one seat is ok for that fighter :lol:
