Hello People,

I'm visiting these forums for a long time now, but now, after
my own campaign is making some progress, I dont want to remain silent anymore and want to show you two of my models.

I always thought, that there was a lack of stations in freespace,
so I created these two babys:


This is the shivan version, the SI Hydra (well defended with 10 turrets)



And thats the vasudan variant, the GVI Sphinx (only 4 turrets)

Please tell me what you think.

Greetings

the vasudan one is nice, but the shivan one looks way too terran. reskin it terran like

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Very nice indeed.

[Hippo]

the Vasuda one looks like the Mactens in D3... If only they waved

agreed, but the vasudan one should have more rounded shapes.

also, it reminds me of a Star Trek Drydock.

[Knight Templar]

Very 1337.

The shivan one does look terran to me. But the Vasudan one owns, not to mention the background planets

[kasperl]

*looks*

aaaaaaaah, planets!!

nice, if i'm not mistaking, Lunarcell?

[TrashMan]

Very, very nice...

Luv that Vasudan one..Can you give me the .cob or the .scn ?

[Rictor]

I agree. The Shivan one really needs to be Terran, the design is so right. And the vasudan one reminds me of Stat Trek too much, so I dont really love it..


Its great to see some new models, and its really cool that you decided to do repair station, sicne I also that it was lacking the FS (except the ganymede)

All in all reallly nice work, I may not agree with some of you design choices but its good work nonetheless. The planets and nebulae are A1 SUPAR. Do you think you'll be releasing the stations or are they for a campaign??

[Nico]

lol, I didn't even notice the planets, yeah, they look cool

[Petrarch of the VBB]

Could also be a shipyard, I suppose.

[Noise]

Nice work.  You really should do a public release, the community is lacking some really good repair stations.

[karajorma]

Very nice work but unfortunately I have to add my voice to those who think the shivan station looks terran.

[StarGunner]

The Shivan one has the right Idea mabe insted of those big red light bulb things you could make em into spikes that curve down, then make the dock part look more like long spikes/claw like, and make the middle of it be like a spining top, then add the 10 Turrets around it and a fighter bay at the bottom. I could draw you a picture if you would like to try it.

I'll E-mail it too you when it's dune.

[Knight Templar]

you know, if you want to act like a southern redneck, you could just use dun.

The Shivan (Terran!) one looks Star Wars inspired. The Vasudan one is a great start, but needs some model tweaking to get it right. I'd be interested to play with that. For the purple glowing texture inside, may I recommend something more Vasudan? Try using the Setekh's array texture as a base, then change the hue and apply some filters to get the look you want.

Just a thought but the Vasudans could go the way of a big scale type with the addons on say insted of 1 dock howabout two? Then it could duble as a shipyard.

[IceFire]

One of those planets if I'm not mistaken is a creation by Dark that he did for Warzone

[TopAce]

The Shivan one isn't the best. The background is ..... no comment. But the Vasudan one is great. The (d?)neb12 has at least 6-6 scaling.

[Starman01]

Thanks for all the comments, guys. Will see, what I can do
to improve the models.

Never thought that the shivan one looked terran, I put some
arms bottom-side to make it look shivan, but these are not
visible on this picture. But I guess, you're right after all.
(after all, it was my first complex model).        ;-)  

I will try some retexturing.

After all, I think I will publish the vasudan one, but not at this
time. I will try some improvements, then I will release it.

I don't  know, when I will release a finished campaign, right now
I'm doing this just for fun (but already 15 missions and a lot of
little changes (weapons,retexturings and new models from the
internet) have been made, maybe some day ...)

Well, as for the backrounds, that is too much honor for me.  I
downloaded them somewhere. The planet behind the vasudan station must be from warzone, as ICEFIRE mentioned. The lava-one, well, I don't know for sure. Just wanted to improve the pictures.

Thats for now, you will be hearing again from me .

Greetings
