A new shivan fighter: SF Ladon
The SF Ladon is a new shivan heavy fighter similar to the Basilisk.



mesh: Aldo (it is out of his 3rd modeldump)
texturing: me (it has NO UV-mapping)
conversation: me

I'm using it in my campaign so I don't release it at the moment.
What do you think?

What I can see I like but the pic is a little dark.

BTW by no UV mapping do you mean that it hasn't be wrapped in Lith etc? Cause it obviously has a UV map or you wouldn't have been able to texture it. :D

As a general rule, I'm not a fan of non unwraped fighters/bombers, but you seem to have pulled it off well enough. Kudos.

Actually, I pulled that fighter out of the dump as well, but I haven't got anyone to play with it for me yet.

So in other words, :yes:

Ladon = bad

Use things like:

Rashmika
Krohda
Gatha
Dukha
Mithra
Nadisu
etc
etc

When I first glanced at it, I though it said Laden, I don't think he's quite up there with Dragons and Manticores yet ;)

Nice model by the way! Though I personally find it just a tiny bit too 'curvy' but that's just personal taste :)

OK, I change the name! :D

The names posted by TCO aren't bad.
But if someone has another suggestion for a good name please post it here.

If you want a really evil name, you should use SJ Hillary Clinton

Funny, I knew it was you who posted that even before I read the poster's name...

As for the fighter: I can't really tell what shape it is. Is it asymmetrical? Where are the gun mounts?

Now that I see that is not asymetrical, I see that it resembles muchly the Tamarian cruiser from early season 5 of Star Trek TNG.  Of course, they must have used that design for half a dozen species thoughout the galaxy on that show.
