First of all, let me say this is a WIP that will never be finished, because my computer rebooted on itself for some unknown reason before I could save the scene, and I don't feel like spending another 5 minutes setting it back up =)

The picture and title is self explanatory... hope you enjoy it.

Is it me or have we been getting a heck of a lot of renders recently?

What ship is that flying  in the top centre? The one with two Sobeks above it and one below it. I like its sillouhette, whatever it is.

Overall, nice composition, but something seems wrong in the angle of the foreground ships with respect to the background ships. That's probably just my eye and sensibilities though, so take it for what its worth.

That ship is the Typhon Destroyer...  it has a nice look at some angles :)

Not sure what you mean by the angle, but the background ships are pointing to the right of the foreground ships... oh well


Forget to mention at first... don't complain about no anti-aliasing, because as I said before, this isn't a finished product, and it was a test render to see what it would look like, so I didn't spend any extra time doing AA...

The foreground ships are, from left to right, an Aeolus, three Herc 2's, and a Hecate. :)

Very nice. I like the lighting. It is satisfactorily dark. ;):yes:

yeah, the Typhon is damn ugly... but for some reason, I just love it, I prefer it to the Atsheptsu actually. But strange, I didn't remember the typhon had a pointy nose.

You forgot the Fenris, the Fenris! :D   I'm sure you would have noticed that one if you clicked on the thumbnail thats there...

Hmm, should have mentioned that you are supposed to click the picture to get the 1024x768 version... or maybe I'm just going crazy at the moment... :D


Anyway, Venom, the ship might just look like it has a pointy nose because its at a 90 degree angle from the camera, but yea I have the same feelings as you do for the Typhon... its a great ship in reality, the design, but its capabilities really suck, it should be classified as a carrier.

Hmmm? Of course I clicked the thumb, silly. :p No-one was asking whether that was a Fenris or not, so I left it out. Besides, it was ambiguous; without it firing its weapons, I couldn't tell whether it was a Leviathan or not. :p
