Title: Sort out a ship's sections.
Post by: Marcov on May 09, 2010, 09:48:38 pm: Simple. All you have to do is to post an image of any FS ship, canon or non-canon, then identify its parts (e.g. the frontal part is the bridge, the central part as the reactor, etc.)

I'll start out (SD Lucifer, mindless of the ingame's description such as "bridge", "engine01" etc)

Well, this thread makes little sense, but it's Fan Fiction nonetheless.

It'll label everything for you.

Very pointless to make **** up when you have canon directly contradicting you!

Post by: Gregster2k on May 19, 2010, 12:08:12 am: I love doing stuff like this. I would do it for every ship I ever designed on graph paper. For a while I refused to draw a part of a ship - even a little greeble - unless I could justify what it was for (functionally).

Post by: Droid803 on May 20, 2010, 05:48:16 pm: Looks like a 3-engined version of the Karuna. :P
(btw I <3 trilateral symmetry. feels sooo much nicer to me than the boring old bilateral symmetry)
Title: Re: Sort out a ship's sections.
Post by: Aardwolf on May 20, 2010, 07:22:05 pm: It's got a combination of trilateral and quadrilateral, it seems. But the common factor is bilateral :p

Post by: Galemp on July 28, 2010, 03:39:39 pm: Actually, if anyone could do these for Great War-era ships (like the Seth, Horus, and Thoth) I'd be able to use them for new high-res FS1-style command briefing animations.

You should give the medium and heavy blobbers their correct names and move them to secondary armament, methinks!

Post by: Trivial Psychic on July 29, 2010, 06:40:16 pm: That ship reminds me a lot of the Monsoon class Gunboat from Babylon 5 (extended canon)... especially with the engine flaps.
