What's the scale on that compared to say an Ursa?

I hate the WCmovie ships well mostly.
The Dralthi looks at least somewhat like a Dralthi and the Claws hangarbay looks also pretty cool. For the rest....I don't like it.

     Are you kidding me? That human fighter was a thing of sheer beauty, the likes of which I've not seen since a homemade airplane of my childhood which used a tomato can as a fuselage.


       (that was sarcasm if you missed it - WCMovie has some of _the_ ugliest fighters I've seen ANYWHERE in sci-fi)

Till the part with the tomato I realy thought "WHAT?" ^_^

Oh and if you didn't know...this image was the first draft for the WC movie Rapier.

Yeah, it looks like it would have a Sath for lunch and a Demon for dessert :yes:

Yeah...the REAL F-44 Rapier from Wing Commander I, they SHOULD HAVE used that instead of the fudge piece of junk...

Actually, continuity geeks feel it's rather the C-117 rapier (a sort of predeccessor, as the Wc1 ship is a rapier 2). Same thing, the dralthi is a KF 100, ancestor to the D mark 1. :doubt:

It looks delicious.

Was it only me, or did anyone else see "Big Bertha" and think of that artillery piece from Total Annihilation?

  • I'm a minefield of information.
Not sure if it's the angle, but it looks like there's something funny going on with the nose?

It's not on the unmapped version on page 1.
When the reactor explodes, it's usually a sign that you've taken too much damage.

 
Opps, fixed that. It was just a UV and texturing issue.

nothing's wrong with the nose. It is angled in areas and the camera angle can do that. :p

Actually it looks like it has two buck teeth, it's not missing area, it just got painted black.

Yup, I was thinking of the real thing.  Actually i've named it Claymore, as big bertha is a nickname.
