Another new one from me, the GTC Hyperion.  It's larger than the standard cruiser, and draws main weapon power directly from its engines (thus the parallel tubes along the hull).  It's stronger and more heavily armored than a conventional cruiser as well.  I should note, before someone points out the similarity, that it is based on the Tiadan destroyer from Homeworld.

Designs OK - maybe rounding off that front curve  a little would look good - Personally, though I've never really been a fan of all light grey ships ...

Just MHO.

Yeah, some texture variation would be good, but overall I like the design. Reminds me of Dark's Phobos. :nod:

Not nearly that big or overpowered I'm afraid.  This ship fits between the cruiser and corvette classes, sort of a heavy cruiser used primarily for anti-fighter duties.  And if anyone knows of some good non-grey textures, please let me know (other than the Hecate textures, I really don't like them)

Good texturing.
A very nice model ! :yes:
Texture variation: similar to the Aeolus or Deimos, no problems with that.
Weapons: The Rakshasa was superior to all Terran cruisers, so some balancing power is always welcome. :wink:
Just fly on !

D'oh!  I should know that :nervous:  Oh well, I haven't played Homeworld in maybe a year and a half, and that model was just based off of a screen shot.

Nice, but apart from the dorsal, ventral and large prow weapons, it's hard to see where the other weapons are.

Try using some of the Terran AWACS tiles as well.

BTW, when (are) you releasing this?:confused:

It's a cruiser, so it's not too terribly well armed.  I may darken the edges of those dot turrets to make them stand out a little, but they are basically under the nameplate, on the side-mounted engine in the back, and on the lower "wing".  There is also one turret to cover the aft quadrant just behind the bridge and another under the lip in the nose, all for anti-fighter and anti-bomb.

It'll be released when it's reconverted (made a couple of small texture changes including that nameplate) and pathing's done.  And it does have some AWACs textures, just not many of them.  Look at my other ships; there's plenty of AWACs tiles to go around there.

Aww man, this is the sort of thing that makes me wish I were still rendering. ;)

I love it, the design is functional and attractive (hey, that's important ;)). Excellent work! :nod::yes:
