Well here it is, the first something bigger than I fighter I've tried to whip up.  Comments/ideas are appreciated.  I also haven't decided a name for it either...

I know its not great, I just want to know what you think, and what I can do to improve my skills (or lack thereof) period.

Call it the GTCv Sebarak.

[adwight]

What does Sebarak mean, I'm just curious...

[Starks]

I doesn't mean anything... We can always call it the GTCv Scimitar, which is a type of sword.

Looks like a bomber version of the Vesuvius.  How about Pompei.  Besides being the more well known city-by-the-volcano, IIRC Pompei was also a Roman Emperor.  Though it may be spelled different.

[mikhael]

Pompeii with two i's I believe.

What's with everyone leaping to name a ship that isn't even finished yet, and NOT CRITIQUING THE DAMN MESH?

[Baron MacDoblin]

It's boxy. And boxy.

[Galemp]

I like it, in an old-school kind of way. It reminds me of some of the FS1 tri-segmented Terran designs, like the Fenris, Faustus, Chronos and Centaur. If you made it a civilian freighter, with a TAC1 dock on the side, it would be nice to use in the FS2 era since the Chronos was retired.

As a fighter or bomber, though, it's not particularly attractive.

[Turnsky]

Bloody volvo drivers

[karajorma]

I wasn't picturing this as a bomber at all. This has to be a torpedo cruiser!

I quite like the basic shape too. It is fairly old school but it does remind me of the FS1 era ships like galemp says.

[adwight]

Yes I've been intending to be some sort of a Torpedo Cruiser too.  However, what do I need to do to make it so un boxy, smooth it out and make any fixes?

[kasperl]

Pompeii wasn;t an emperor, there were a few guys named pompeii, all generals, some senators, some govenors of pretty important places, one even consul without a colleauge, but non made emperor IIRC.

anyway, i don;t like the assymetry for a terrran design, but it does have some good things about it. if you put that wing on both sides it might look more Terran. otherwise, add a lot of spiky stuff, and round it off a bit, and call it a shivan bomber.

[Fozzy]

The easest way to make it rounder is to press the "Smoth Quad Divide" button.

[TopAce]

Put textures on it. The Colossus textures may look like so good.

[adwight]

Alrighty, I'll have to give it a shot.

GTC Herculaneum! That city was also destroyed by the 79 A.D. eruption.

Oh, and there was a man named Pompey who competed with Julius Caesar for control of Rome; I think you're talking about him.

[Beowulf]

Extrude much?

Anyway, I like the idea of a torpedo ship, maybe like a PT boat idea. Give it something powerful like torpedoes, make it fast, make it weak.

There's not much to say about it. It's just this cruisery bombery thing. There's nothing really good or bad about it, it's just boring.
