Is it a (WC) corvette?

Post by: Scooby_Doo on July 02, 2010, 01:38:14 am: The original P2 Salvia was a destroyer. I've scaled it down to frigate size (about the size of the Caeraven frigate). It's a communication/scanning/jamming frigate. Also it's not complete, just mostly framed out.

I vote Spectre.

I second that.

alternatives could be:
Shadow, Spook or Spooky of you want a more SIGINT line.
Frazzle or Sparker could work on the coms/jamming line though thinking about it they sound more like a pilots nickname for the ship

Post by: rhettro on July 02, 2010, 10:52:27 am: I like the ship, it's bulky construction makes me want to give it a gutteral sounding name like the Targ, the Clayborne, Iron Moth or some such.

Title: Re: More ships coming down the line in the future
Post by: FoeHammer on August 31, 2010, 05:24:14 pm: Isn't that super Hercules at the end of FS2 the Ares? Just mentioning it in case you were unaware. Otherwise these look fantastic.

anyways
TCHF Katana (this was based on the concept art for the Panther fighter)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/Shodan_AI/TCHF-Katana1.jpg)
It's pretty simply model. I've had it stashed away for a couple years now and decided it's best just to get it done.

Post by: Starman01 on October 03, 2010, 02:36:44 pm: Ah sweet, I didn't knew you already have the bombers done :) They look great, and as I said in the past, the piranha is one sweet ***** :)
Title: Re: More ships coming down the line in the future
Post by: Mobius on October 03, 2010, 02:54:23 pm: Both the Vampire and Piranha seem perfect for FreeSpace mods, especially the Piranha (IMO)... :yes:
Title: Re: More ships coming down the line in the future
Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 07, 2010, 10:43:14 pm: Rebuilt one of the bugs
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v356/Shodan_AI/NF-Crab1.jpg)
It's not optimized, it's currently sitting at 32,000 polys (several nurbs objects).

Title: Re: More ships coming down the line in the future
Post by: Starman01 on October 08, 2010, 03:27:27 am: Hm, nice :)

If you allow some constructive critism :) I suggest making the forward fins more thinner, and the two bigs ones not so width, and the fins on the back more bigger. But besides that, it looks much more dangerous now than the original models :)

Post by: Scooby_Doo on October 08, 2010, 03:54:23 am: The two big claws? Those need a little more work i think, more pincher shaped. I had a terrible time trying to get the arms to look right. I gave up on nurbs for them.
