Well, then Darky, send all your b34r h34r.

Is that the nose from the Yali?

Bulk out #2's arm by adding an engine on the back and a s**tload of guns n' missiles on the front.  Also, #2 is far too much like the Perseus.  Mebbe bulk out the front, just under the cockpit, to stop the 'neck' looking so stretched?

Very nice, though.  I wish I could be bothered to design fighters...

If the head on #1 was rounded, it would look terran vasudan

It's based off of the Mara's nose design; only the side fins are practically identical.

I have created a new mesh!

Comments? Criticism?

[Descenterace]

Comments: very nice.  Subspace bomber means that it fires some kind of subspace weapon, right?  Like a bomb that warps to its target?

Criticism: can't think of any, except that those images are kinda grey.  Black background with more contrast would be better.

No.  It's weapon is similar to the one used by the Sathanas to destroy Capella.

I love fighter #1, with that nose reminds me of teh Lucifer! Maybe those fighters were designed at same time? Second reminds me off Ravana... Let us know when #1 is finished I wanna get it bad! Sweet!...

That is too ridiculous for words to describe. And I thought beam bombers were bad...

[Knight Templar]

Why not just give all shivan ships subspace guns then?

[karajorma]

I assume he means it's a similar weapon BUT MUCH SMALLER

Otherwise we are talking about the stupidest concept ever heard in Sci-fi.

It's done, and it's called the SF Ashtur.  Oh yeah, it now belongs to Inferno.

[Descenterace]

I believe there was a vessel called the 'Sun Crusher' in the Star Wars novels.  It was the size of a fighter, was indestructible, and carried torpedoes built to send stars supernova.

I think it ended up in the Mau, but apparently it was capable of surviving the gravity of a Black Hole, so it's merely trapped.

[Knight Templar]

And it was shaped like an Ice Cream Cone.

[Descenterace]

Exactly.  So I don't think anyone will take the 'stupidest Sci-fi concept' trophy away from that ship.  Not even a Shivan star-killing bomber.  At least Shivan ships aren't indestructible... yet...

[Knight Templar]

err.. why was it stupid? Other than being riduculously powerful, although that was the whole point..

[Galemp]

The idea that its weapons systems, miniaturized components, and molecular armor each cost as much to develop as the original Death Star? And that it could single-handedly destroy an entire star system in a matter of hours?

Not to mention that it could be piloted by ONE person... and that it was able to be stolen... basically any maniac could have destroyed the entire galaxy. Yeah, that's... stupid.

[Knight Templar]

Meh.

It was still a good book.

[HotSnoJ]

IIFC the starcrusher drove thru the star. Not luanched torpedos at it. Or maybe I'm just remembering the part where that one jedi makes that Pirate think the star crusher is about to ram her ship.
