What do you think? I'm planning for it to be either an interceptor or a space superiority.

I'd make it a space superiority fighter. Looks to wide to be an interceptor IMO.

Love the model though. my only complaint is that it looks too "2d". Maybe bend the wings down and add a dorsel fin? Or bend the wings up a bit? I dunno...:D

Definitely wants some height on it. I'm finding my Hammerheads and target drones to be a bugger to shoot at, being as they are pretty flat. Give it a big ole' fin or two. Or a big dangly nob

And yes, make it a superiorty. Those wings give you room for lots of lovely missile banks :nod:

Well, here is another pic of it, with the wings curved down a bit:

Looking good:yes:

Kinda like the old Ulysses, a Terran-Vasudan Hybrid.

But it does need a little more hight to it, but then, quite a few V fighters were quite flat (Ulysses, Pegasus, Seth, Thoth...)

add some small turrets or gunpoints on the shoulders, the flat part just before the wings bend down. and actually, i like it the way it is, it has a very small aft profile, wich is good for a superiority fighter. but perhaps make the front of the wings a bit thicker, for missile bays. also, there could be some gunpoints or missile bays on the front of the engine, next to the cockpit , where the intake would be for an atmosperic. and add some tiny truster like thingys on the wingtips.

I think she's fine flat, plenty of V ships are flat. Texture her up. :)

I love it. Call it the "Albatross" or something.

Yes, it IS good!
If you want to be ready for Wing Commander Saga: The Darkest Dawn, then download and play the prologue first.

Here,

http://www.wcsaga.com/downloads/files/download/releases-prologue-setup-exe.html

Then, while waiting for the Darkest dawn, Download Starshatter 4.02

http://www.starshattermods.com/infusions/pro_download_panel/download.php?did=214

You 'll understand why once you have.

I'm probably going to do an open release, just like I always do. Anyone willing to help me with textures, or do I get to have fun with multitexturing/tiling again?

It looks kinda like the Minsk from the 158th. This is a good thing. :)

Hmm.... You're right. It does bear a bit of a resemblance to the Minsk. Actually, you know what it really looks like? A Minsk Mk II.
