Right, it looks a bit like the ACv Malia.

I like it, they're very smooth ships.

Btw, hasn't the polygon limit been upped yet in the SC?

I updated the ship. KF, it could be civilian but i like the idea of it as a post - great war pre-sobek light cruiser. The nose is a bit blocky (ie. a preview of the to come rounded sobek nose.) Total poly count is 522. Any texturers or project leads want it? Drop m a PM

Well, when I want new ships I'm not thinking of them as Terran, Vasudan or Shivan. It's going into a seperate franchise entirely so the pre-sobek idea doesn't apply. She just screams 'civilian' at me.

Anyone who's seen the Cruise Liner model in XWA will understand!

I still think science ship, but it diffinitly is civilian methinks.

We still need an explanation as to why those torii are there.

Flip the normals, give it a water texture, and say it's a live Vasudan food tanker.

Katalyan · **Reply #28 on:** March 04, 2003, 07:23:58 pm

the torii (rings for dumb people) are as someone said "mini-knossoes" allowing stable subspace travel anywhere. They are used for fast civilian escapes, being a science vessel that goes anywhere and researches anything. (or something like that...)

It looks like it should be fast. I like the rings!!! great idea about the mini-knossos... Could you do a sotryline about increasing the range since there are 3 rings. maening how awacs increases the sensor capabilities for the fleet, the Cruiser can make a stable jump point not only for itself but a limited number of ships/fighters. These cruisers could be awesome for hit and run tactics using limited forces against stationary/disabled targets or very slow moving ones (non-jump capable)...?

I like it. Just needs textures.
