Hey just finish my first fighter, sorta. I do need to do some things to it tho. If you have suggestions or just wanna say it sucks then feel free. It's name for now is Valkyrie MK III, but I know this is not consistant with the timeline. So if there are any suggestions that would be great.

Not bad. Reminds me of the shuttle from Star Wars. With a little modeling work and a good texturing job, it looks like it could be Vasudan. It doesn't look much like the beloved Valk, so another name would be better, I think.

Actually, I'd say that it was the Excalibur from B5 with the fuselage shortened a great deal.

Hey I'll say this again. The cockpit is modeled after the original Valkyrie.
I have big plans, now if only I could see them through.

It made me think of the Sobek, which isn't a fighter, but still the trefoil design got me. The Anubis is a better match though.

Ok. I posted this at the Freespace board.

It looks to big to be an interceptor, more like a heavy assult. Dont get me wrong its a good model, but interceptors to me are supposed to be slender, fast, meduim payload. I know its not my model and hotsnoj can do whatever he wants with it, but thats what i think it should be.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Well I'm not to sure of it myself! I'm thinking of putting at the end of the two bottom or all the wings a pod for secondary weapons to make it a Light anti-cap fighter. And I'm also thinking of making one or both primary weapons point down at an angle so you can fly parallel to the capital ship and hit it at the same time. Thats my idea all mine. You can thank me later!

Hey. Thats not too bad. But may I suggest making the cockpit in the front narrower.
Eg.) Don't make it look so "fat."
I really like the way you made it "jagged" like that. Makes it look cool.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Working on that.

ooo... reminds me of the PVF Anubis. I like the way you did the design with the triple... engines(??) on the wings(??)

I'll put new pics telling you about where everything is and will be, soon.

Needs texures but I think it has potential
