Cruiser looks good but the fighter...something's wrong with it

Oh, yea, add, like, a big doohicky (like the thing hanging down from the hercs) to the top of cruiser, and it'll look cooler ;)

:Welcome:

The cruiser is actually quite nice. It could stand to be more rounded in places (the engine pods are basically square and would look better rounded) but the overall shape is quite sweet.

The fighter is quite nice from the rear but I'm not so keen on the front end of it.

Fighter-
make the gun pods more 'egg' shaped with the blunt end pointing forward

add a ventral fin of some kind, kind of longish like the Herc 2's

lose most of the engine cowling in the back, there's just too much

Cruiser-
smooth the whole thing, it's too blocky, even for a Terran ship.
more guns, 9 guns is insufficient for a screening cruiser

Btw, if your intention is to make that ship a "light cruiser" the correct designation would be GTCL. Personally, I'd just leave it at GTC as the Fenris could be a light Cruiser yet doesn't use the more specific designation. Or the Lilith could be a SCA (heavy cruiser) but its not either.

not realy, the way to texture in TS5 is to save the model and open it up in lith, do you're textureing there then save and open back up into TS

:) That's not exactly fair. But learning Lith would be a good thing to do :)

Originally, I projected that criuser (workname: Eris) as Chase Criuser (or Pursuit Criuser, short GTCC or GTPC), but i'm only author of model idea  and 2D project, C-914 is creating it as a serious model [BTW-BIG THX:D]. More turrets are not neccesary, it is really light and fast construction. Ship was constructed for recon missions, fast attacks, and chasing enemy convoys.  Criuser moodel that u can see on screenshot was done in less than 1,5 hour, so i think it's quite early version of it.:)

THANKS FOR HELP :) :yes:

No problem. We're happy to help new members (especially new modders) get off the ground here.

Are you guys working on a campaign then?

Hey, c194, check your PM's ;)

I must say that I wasn't too impressed with just the wireframe, but now that you've shown the Cruiser textured it looks pretty kicka**. Nice work. The yellow turrets you're referring to are probably Particle Turrets btw.

I like it very much! Can't wait to see it released.

Of course... some nut will prolly convince you to give it up for his campaign that will never be finished, and we'll then never get it...... hrmf

result is nice but you could have spent a lot more details, both for geometry and textures, expecially on the grey areas
