Well, it's done. Sorta.








Sorry about the quality of the renders. I forgot to render before I transferred them to a computer with 'net capability, and had BW do them.

Anyhoo. It's still undergoing a few changes; I'd like some constructive criticism. I'll also try mapping it myself. :nervous:

woot:yes: :yes:

Its very good. Dont think that I dont like it, but I have a few complaints. The gun barrels are just too large and the missle banks dont look right, I think its because they protrude too much outwards and downwards. The cockpit should protrude less outwards, make it closer to the main body.

Other than that, amazing. Textured, this baby will loook uber sweet..

Nice one dude. Although, I still think it should have two arm barrels. Yeah, the asymetrical part is what made it the Ursa in a way, but I think it'd be more of a step up if it had two barrels. That and it made firing at anything moving a ***** having one side.

Otherwise, sweet work.

The huge triple-barrel is what MADE the Ursa. It's staying. (Not to mention that it doesn't matter that it's offset if your target is 2 km long. :p ) And now it has four gun mounts underneath instead of two, so there.

[color=66ff00]Good mesh but it needs cockpit and warhead launcher work, unless you're not hell bent on getting it perfect.

The shape of the missile banks in particular needs fixing. :yes:

That is indeed looking good...I want to see that with top textures and whatnot.  This could be a VERY good ship!

Could those three barrels be made to spin, gatling style?

I think the word "work" isn't placed right, I think he meant that the missile pods and the cockpit needed work.
I think Maeg needed rest, himself :p

I agree with what Venom and Maeglamor said. I'd like to add that the engines probably should be bulked out a little more. Right now, they're really skinny. For some reason, that doesn't sit well with me on a bomber.

[color=66ff00]Actually what you have there is good Irish phrasing, gotta make my phrasing more 'global'. :lol:

...and yes I do need rest. Damn exams. :)

Very nice.
An Artemis type skin would look good on that thing.  

Is it for a camp or just stand-alone?

Oh yeah, Mk. IIs show a lack of imagination.  Try GTB Moros (doom) or GTB Bia (strength/force)

I think that a texture similar to the original Ursa would look good here (also see the GTB Jotun for good textures). Alternately, you could do a Herc2/Myrmidon type grey skin, though I cant really visualize it. Ursa means bear right (Ursa is the constellation shaped like a bear), so you could name it Bear in another language.

Does anyone remember the Ulysses reskin that was named the GTF Odysseus (different name for the same guy), well that type of thing.

 
I like it, but perhaps there should be second defensive turret on the bottom somwhere.  You would think that after all those years the brains in the R&D sector would realize that a big, lumbering target like an Ursa could use some more protection!  (Unless, of course, the NEW Ursa has better performance... :nervous: )

 
:eek2:

Holy Hell! That has got to be the (avoid sexiest, avoid sexiest)most awesome bomber I have ever seen.

Makes me want to convert from fighters to bombers... wow.
