yet another new hull
on: February 22, 2003, 01:09:07 am
Just threw this thing together, it looks a lot like a deimos when it's all said and done, but I still am pleased with the end result.  It's textured to be a special ops frigate (black ops :D) but it really doesn't have a purpose at the moment.  And it's fairly low poly, so I might end up detailing it a little bit more.  My fleet already has a corvette, so it needs another special purpose, and a name.

Remove the wings, cause unless its also an atmosperic ship, they are kinda useless. They only provide a larger surface to fry with a nice beam.

or a nice place to mount a large beam ;)  Actually they are there because this design really needed something horizontal.  They were the last piece to be put on, and the reasoning is that they shield vulnerable parts of the ship from broadside beams.

Would you rather fly around in a sphere or cube then? I really doubt it.


It just looks COOL, Ok. It's not real, it is a GAME.

Actualy, yes. Its more effective with having allround defense and weapons grid. Maybe not as "cool" looking, but I wouldn't really care about that in a fight.

Ow, and your second "Its a game" thingy. Even so, why nt try to make it as real as possible. Thats cool.

EDIT: Ow and I think wings are butt ugly on a space ship. Thats just because they are unpractical and rather dumb if you think about it. You can just as easily increase the mass slightly and cut of the wings. More effective as it gives you more room on the inside for reactors and stuff and thus more weapons.

Sorry, but I like things to be as close to reality as it can come. Just a matter of taste i guess.

I have wings because I think they look nice, and I also mount sensors on them, thus giving them a use.

I'm assuming this is in the DatDB internal. Hopefully? :D

nice design, although it could benefit from some more detail, and an elongated body.

:yes: Stratcomm, love it.  The thick design would lend to the to the idea that it might have high amount of armour.  Give it a nice beam weapons package and call it a battlecruiser.  Maybe the GTBC Eclipse or something.:D

Depends on size.

And what they are there for.

On fighters they are cool:cool:

BTW, StratComm nice hull design, but recess the light panel on the front of the 'tower', nad it would look well armoured indeed.

Killfrenzy, Let me guess: Karren Imperian, Light Cruiser?  Looks great whatever :D

"SIR! The wing has been blown off by the Shivan destroyer! Main reactor room is decompressing! Reactor breach imminent!"

"Abandon ship! Repeat: Abandon ship!"

Or in case of weaponry on the wings:

"SIR! The wing has been blown off by the Shivan destroyer! Weapon capability down to 50%. We're sitting ducks out here!"
