Although I usually stick to Terran Capships I decided to do something different for a change and work on a vasudan ship. Anyway I'm about 80% through but I need some feedback (especially on what to do about the cockpit. I'm really drawing a blank on that).

Anyway here are the pics for you to laugh and jeer at. As always Textures are there just to give the model a bit more of a vasudan feel and are in no way final (or even alpha!)

Try making the pod flat and curved, kind of like a Ulyses

I'd like to see it in faceted untextured mode, to get a better idea of the shape of the thing. You could just as well have given us a silhouette for what we can see of it.

Yep, a Vasudan GUNSHIP.

Love what I see here, do finish it, and don't change anything in it, (except to put in a cockpit)

Waiting to learn more about it...

About the cockpit...

I am thinking German fighter-bombers, aka the FW 189, use two cockpits, one on the rear and one on the front. Then you could always have some guns pop out of the rear...

aka turret country

Where are its laser cannons? A cockpit would really come fine.

okay

Vasudan Apollo?

That texture makes it look like a flying piece of space-****
But I do like the design.   A very nice ship indeed

Interesting. Seems FS1-style, somehow. I like it. Although the model could definitely be optimized in a few places. I'm interested to see how it's textured.

Badly most likely. I've never textured a fighter and that means I'd have to learn Lith. I might just do a Texture it and keep it deal with someone

As for it seeming FS1-like to you that's excellent I'm making this ship for MG so it shouldn't have any FS2 era influences The model itself is still under construction I posted cause I wanted some feedback for the cockpit

Actually, if you could get your hands on TS6, it has something like lith built in. Of course, where you'd get it from is beyond me

Already got it I haven't tried the UV mapper functions on TS but Lith is probably a better bet since there are more tutorials for it.

Nice!

Cockpit-wise, yeah, a sort of hemispherical thing like the Ulysses or the Myrmidon would work well.
