Well, it may not count for much, but I like it!  Q: What prog you use for modeling?

[Nico]

What you got so far looks cool  

[aldo_14]

Looks like a great design for a smaller carrier, with a hella lot of forward firepower.  

[mikhael]

That's pretty sexy. I'm assuming its a carrier, though I suppose it could be an armed freighter as well. I'll proceed on the assumption that its a carrier.

I like the well defended fighter launch channel, but I do worry that it coudl become a medieval murder hole if the enemy gets in too close. You probably want some AAA turrets of some sort up top.

Model wise, I'll give you the same advice I get so often of late: use a few more polys to up the detail and smooth the corners a touch. Nothing but knives and shadows on the moon have sharp edges.

yes, but that's a FS2 model, not a Iwar2, don't forget   he aim here is to decrease polycount, not to increase it

Its a capship, right? so with destroyable submodels, you should be able to stuff at least another hundred polygons on it, right?

How many polygons in an average capship? I think he can afford to use just a few more. Not many. Just a handful.

oh, sure, this one can afford at least 4 times its actual polycount   but as the guy said, it's not finished  

[WraithHost]

I like the general design but I'm not keen on the right angled corners at the back.
They just look 'wrong'

Gotta agree here. Why not stick a pair of octagonal engines in the depression on the back, Orion style?
Love the double guns on the side. Sorta like big Shivan ships that have all their main guns on the front. Takes out the enemy one at a time. Load 'em up with Maxims and watch sparks fly!
I suggest you stick a turret just under the bridge (I assume) to defend the fighter bay. Maybe an AAA beam or Morning Star.
(It's no secret-- I love putting fighter weapons on capships.)

Looking good d00d. I might want it if the texture job looks good  

[Anaz]

Ok, brought this up again to show the modifications I made to the ship:

(Note: I made the mods to it a while ago, I have just been too lazy to put them up)

Increased the length of the ship, and added a pretty new end to it:



A nice shot of the improved back end:




And the brand new slanted fighterbay™:





edit: lvlshot don't work here... is it just my keyboard or does this beep on letters?

Sw33t!!  

I like it!

[Galemp]

Not bad. I just hope the texturing is done right.

If I texture it, then no

[Galemp]

I've just seen some bad texturing jobs recently. I guess people tend to forget that peole LIVE in capital ships, and they're not just turret platforms. Give them windows, like the Deimos.

[Nico]

there's people in submarines, and yet they don't have windows
