And I hope you don't mind an artist's reconception of the design? ;)

True. :nod: (I can't do anything for ****, so I need to scrounge off people with talent!)

BTW, Analazon: how big is this thing again? I'm guessing sorta large cruiser-size...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

I was showing this (awesome) ship to someone... and they said that "it looks like a metal penis with 6 fingers about to grab around it, and it's cumming blue" ....... :wtf:  + :lol:  = :rolleyes: :lol:

edit: that ship should be a military ship... its cool enough to be one.  Those blue solar panel bits could provide AWACS support...

mmmm
if it's civvy some more windows are needed, don't like the blue panels (make a custome texture with the borders), don't like the window texture of the bridge in the middle, the back is too monothone. nice design btw

Charmande: I will never look at the ship the same way again. Smack that friend of yours for poisioning my mind :p

Karma: Solar panel textures: I'd love to, but I can't make textures worth ****. I also couldn't think of any other place to put windows as (IMO) they look very bad on sharp angles, and most of the other space is taken up by sharp angles. I may replace the texture on the "bridge" with some windows. Also, there is a string of windows running down the side of the central area. And monothone? Is that a spelling error, or have I missed something?

even if you can't draw new maps, making patchworks can be done by evryone, so what's the problem?
find a map -fs2 or internet- you can use to make the borders and maybe some lines to make a grid, open paintbrush, photoshop or whatever and do it. The point is how you imagine it, and then invent a way to do it.
Windows can easily be placed on the nose and the rear angle, just modify your texture (again, a patchwork will work fine if you can't draw by yourself) and if you have problems with uvmapping use Lithunwrap
and with monothone I just mean that it simply is a very basic texture just repeated to cover oll the polys, some texture variations, mech elements, other stuff, will improove a lot the whole thing

Monotone, not monothone. :)

Very cool! :yes:

Maybe shielding (being a civilien ship). :p

I don't think he was going to arm it, it being a civilian ship and all...

It shouldn't have any serious firepower - at most, a couple of crappy little point-defence turrets. Say they're for shooting down asteroids or scaring off pirates or something.
