I like the idea a lot, but the wings are out of proportion to the res of it IMO. I'd say make the front wings a bit larger than the back ones - that'll make it more balanced. It's a great concept, though. Texture it! :yes:

where's that poly counter tool ?

I would make the rear end detachable, like some kind of disposable booster rocket thing.

Gorgeous work!

Design-wise, the side view seems not as interesting as all other angles. But every other angle is perfect. What color scheme are you gonna use? Military, or spacey.

Amazing, simply amazing.

If you cut off the tail, leaving just the front, you could have a great Herc 3.

Well, I was looking into making it an aerospace fighter, so I wanted sleek military. Kinda like some of those Vipers you made. But I haven't quite figured how you made those metal plates, yet.

I don't think it looks bad at all, but it is true that it does depend on what your purpose with it is.  Still, overall, it's good.  Don't know how much you can really say about a fighter.  Most people are going to like the fighter, or they won't, but where you get in depth is capital ships.  Then the detail gets out there.

Not bad work on this one, IMO.

the tail needs to be a little more swept and trailing, and the cockpit needs some geometry work, those first screens make it look to bland

It looks more like a large bomber type than a manuverable fighter. something that long with four full sized wings wouldn't be able to turn very well, and would look kind of unnatural making fast turns.

Unless it's really tiny, that's going to be about the size of a Boanerges...with about the same size target profile too.

Don't cut the tail end off!  I say it looks like a booster upgrade.  You could say that the booster add-on was created to allow the fighter to maneuver in planetary systems with very high gravity (like Jupiter-type).  But because of the tremendous increase in speed and maneuverability in normal gravity systems, it could have been adopted for more wide-spread use.

:rolleyes:

Or make 2 versions, one with the tailed chopped off and the space used for the exhaust (piss easy to change the textures that way....), and keep it as some alternate atmospheric / recon / whatever variant.
