Probably, I'll hunt it down.

Hmm, I see what you mean.

That thing looks startlingly similar to the Adropov or the Kiev from the 158th.

If it weren't for the fact that the file is gone from my hard drive, I'd say that mesh was one of the WIP models for the Kiev.

I'd seen the Kiev, but not the Adropov before...the resemblance IS uncanny...

looking at the Adropov a bit...I think I may re-work the engine(s) a bit...

Wowsers - I really like it, dude. And it does look uncannily like the Andropov... ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

New top (not sure if anything's changed there...)



New bottom, scrapped the shuttle bay, just went for a dock point

I mean.....stubby fin thingies!

Ummm..... *thinks how to describe it*

Ah! The bridge superstructure - take that, and copy it to the side of the hull, on the big flat face at the back. Mess with the shape a bit, making it thinner. Make the leading edge perpendicular to the hull, but have the trailing edge sweep forward at a fairly sharp angle.

Hmm, that's not very clear, is it?

Draw a square. Then draw a straight line from one corner to the middle of one of the opposite sides. Take away the resultant right-angled triangle, and you're left with the sort of shape I'm trying to describe. Stick that on the side, with the angled edge at the back. This leaves you with a Stubby Fin Thingy™.

:mad: This isn't very good, is it?

Ah hell. You're a smart guy, you'll figure it out...:nervous:

EDIT: Oops. Spent too long trying to describe what I was thinking. I like those engines! Shame about the shuttlebay though - what about putting it a bit further forward, or opening out of the front of that dockpoint structure?

At first, it reminded me of the NAGGEROK, from Homeworld:Cataclysm.

Nice model!:yes:

ahh! Another person telling me it reminded me of a ship I've never seen before!!!

Pyro, what I wasn't sure about was where you wanted me to put them...I've got the general concept of stubby fins ;)
As for the shuttlebay...this thing isn't that big...sheesh, that'd put it at about destroyer size...

and Petrarch, thanks :D

now to go bug deep_eyes about textures...

And my theory about everything resembling something from Homeworld for someone is once more proved correct :D

You need to alter the main hull a little more so it doesn't look so plain and installation-like.

Otherwise, it's neato.

Or how willing people are to squint when they look at homeworld :) Quite often (as appears to be the case this time)the ship has only a passing resemblance to the one it's being compared to.

yeah, I've started texturing this beast (well, mostly textured it, then forgot about it for 3 weeks... :nervous: ). Anyhow, here's the results. Thanks to deep_eyes for the textures and reminding me that I did texture the ship :D
