I actually like it better without the fin. If you absolutely have to have the fin, having it on the bottom of the ship would work best.

As it is, the design is a nice V-T hybrid.

Why not put the fin like a shark's? Make it look like Jaws then.
Heck- putting some jaws paint markins will make it look even scarier

Hey, it's ribbed for her pleasure now!

I don't like something abou that design... it's difficult to explain, but to me, it's either too short or too thin in the middle section, or an unbalanced combination of the two. And I didn't like the submarine fin either, coz it was so obviously "submarine". Doesn't mean the whole idea had to be scrapped, tho

aldo_14 · **Reply #164 on:** December 14, 2003, 07:32:11 am

Looks quite small IMO.

DragonClaw · **Reply #165 on:** December 14, 2003, 10:11:49 am

Yeah Ryx's looks like a futuristic corvette. And do I see polygon intersections on the middle section?

Martinus · **Reply #166 on:** December 14, 2003, 02:22:59 pm

[color=66ff00]Newest revision looks pretty damn great thinks me!

Perhaps the corvette whispers are due to it's looking vaguely Demios-ish (Do I know how to butcher a language or do I know how to butcher a language.

).

BTW Aldo stop teasing us.

Fantastic work all around guys.

Re: Fins. I will make another fin structure. I didn't really like the way it looked, which is why it's gone.

I'll look into making a fin both on top and beneath. As for size... We'll see. It's supposed to be more vertical than horizontal.

Those holes are not supposed to be torp bays.
When I modeled them, I thought "Hey this would look cool in air-intake-sort-of-way". As I rendered these images, it occured to me that, in space, these would be pointless. I'm playing with the idea, that the ship has a very limited nebula-gas processing facility.

It looks like a great cruiser... but not really like a destroyer.

Are u people still taking entries??

It doesn't have a name yet.

Grey Wolf · **Reply #170 on:** December 14, 2003, 09:10:00 pm

I rather like Aldo's design myself....

Bobboau · **Reply #171 on:** December 15, 2003, 11:53:20 pm

uh,pf...mehaaa... ahhugh...
I'm not sure what to say about that model...
is that a serius atempt?

anyway, I made some improvements to my model.

I was going for sort of a cross between a Hecate and a golgotha, that retains the old clasical designs of the orion while at the same time blends perfictly with a futuristic blending with vasudan designe, the little cusp on the chest of it (in the middle on the bottom were the three things come together just in front of the fin) is going to be the main beam cannon, it will have a 160 degree fireing arch, anything in front or under this is dead, in front in particular as it will have most of its waponry angled to fire forward, if you MUST torpedos could be easily mounted on the wingtips (what I was calling them, they actualy look nothing like wings, on the side veiw look about half way down the body, there is a faceted section, the front of that could have two-four torpedo tubes, but I still don't like the general idea). the shape is suposed to present an imposeing massive presence, while still retaining a sence of agility. the idea was to have a ship that could slice a demon in half in about half a minute, a ship wich by the end of the campain would be hopelessly out mached by Shivans that were after hundreds of years of knowing of our exsistance finaly got pissed.

The overall shape looks nice Bob, but it's kinda of hard to make out any specific details. Kinda looks 'fat' IMO because of the rounded shape, rather than sleek.

Nico · **Reply #173 on:** December 16, 2003, 04:26:56 am

I like it, that's how I should have done my Geb vasudan corvette.

Lightspeed · **Reply #174 on:** December 16, 2003, 05:37:57 am

oh yeah, make it primarily vasudan

i really like bob's design.

DragonClaw · **Reply #175 on:** December 16, 2003, 06:00:27 am

Definately like Bob's. Niiiiice... :thepimp:

Baron MacDoblin · **Reply #176 on:** December 16, 2003, 06:12:09 am

I rather like the GTD Phaeton, that Raven posted a while back:

Bobboau · **Reply #177 on:** December 16, 2003, 10:18:25 am

and, you can click on the pic and dl the pof, so you can look at all of the details better, it does need more work, but it's defenantly getting there
(my model)

the Phaeton is a nice design, but I think it's far too blocky for a futuristic tarren-vasudan hybyrd. blocky is good, generalt speaking, for a tarren desiign, but the future of the GTVA is in more integration, so it looks more like a advance of the GTA than the GTVA (wich I beleve is what it was designed as)

what we realy need is more texture artists

Martinus · **Reply #178 on:** December 16, 2003, 10:31:31 am

[color=66ff00]Bob your design looks like the kind of ship that could attack anything and laugh about it.
A real heavyweight, beautifully organic lines to it though which makes it all the more impressive.

Sadly, looks like it can beheaded quite easily.
