This is one of the most exciting things I've done as a modeler (even though I've only been a modeler for about 4 days). Here is a corvette that will be featured in System Madness II. I call it the ECCv Epimetheus. It has 15 turrets and 1 fighterbay. Let me know you guys's thoughts.

That looks great! It could be more detailed, I think (in terms of the actual model), but - great job on all those turrets

Thats actually a little under-gunned for a corvette, at least compared to the Deimos' twenty turrets. Your ship is a lil bigger than a Deimos too, so it should have a lil more firepower. Maybe you should steal some of the Phobos' turrets, then you'd have two balanced ships >;P
If it aint broke, break it!

Ok. I'll add a few more... how's 5 sound? I don't want to do many more at one time because it's kind of a pain to go through making paths for the new ones.

Ok. I added 5 turrets. That wasn't too bad. I might add 5 more later.

You wouldn't even see a corvette if there were that many!

Nah. It wouldn't take forever. Just do about 15 turrets a day and it should turn out in a short time. I did the corvette design AND turrets AND pof editing within just a few hours, and that was only with 15 turrets. Just think if you spent every day on it...

Update: It seems that this model is a failure.  

The Freespace engine doesn't like polys intersecting each other. When they do, it makes parts of the model able to be flown through them.

I'll also consider this as a gain of wisdom. Next time I won't make the same mistake.
