It probably won't be a TSI ship. The main problem with it as far as i can see, is textures. Im not good at making textures and i need some new ones for the TSI.

that, my friend, isn't a skill you're born with. you have to work to acquire it, it's that simple.
make a map. it might suck, but still, make it. give it a day or two, then go back to it, you'll look at it with "fresh" eyes. work more on it, change what's wrong, etc. and again, and again, until you're pleased with it.
you'll NEVER get exactly what you want if you don't do it by yourself, that's an obvious fact.

[Zeronet]

I was intending to do that.

[Zeronet]

Made it wider.

Why is it that every ship reminds someone of a Homeworld ship? Not to mention that this weird phenomonen is only going to get worse when Homeworld 2 comes out!

[Petrarch of the VBB]

It's because HomeWorld is such a great game, that everyone has been brainwashes by it, or something.

Homeworld was acceptable, but it wasn't THAT hot.

I didn't like homeworld, sue me.

[Petrarch of the VBB]

I'll do more than that, I'll send the Bentusi after you.

[Zeronet]

True dat. Time & effort, you can never get around them if you want something good.

[Turnsky]

exactly... look at my art for instance, i worked at that(and photoshop)

it can only get better from there...

[Ryx]

My only problem is that the ship is, well, quite flat. It needs more extrusions and stuff. Give it more of a shape.

Unless, it's supposed to be that way.

Oh, and I like that new texture better, than the old one.

'S probably because original Homeworld was on such an ancient engine every ship had maybe eleven polys, making anything boxy look Homeworldish.

Tutorial to making a basic Homeworld ship:
Make a rectangle.
Bevel the ends.
Add some smaller rectangles in interesting locations.
Add an antenna or two.
Finished.
