@ Cor:

This one?

[Corhellion]

That'd be it!

Also...as a heads up, my lego cadding skills have improved greatly...and also I've decided to go back and rebuild/improve of my older models.

Just uploading pics of the new lego model of the Draco 2.

(Beams, missiles, torps, big ass cannons, lotsa greebling)

*sorry bout the poor image quality, I'll have renders in a few weeks...probably*

Ship Overview: She be better looking than the old one


Broadside missile battery and just behind it a recieving hanger.


Really blury, but you can see the engines, and there are 4 turrets there.


anyways, regarding the old Draco 2 model Ryx thankfully modelled (for a my now dead campaign), anyone who thinks they can use it, ask Ryx, but you have my permission to use it as whatever you want to use it as. That is if Ryx allows you to use it.

Or, if people like it, bump up the polys, add greebles here and there, go nuts. the lego model was crap anyways compared to the new stuff, add more turrets, more missiles/torps make it a real battleship/FS2 Destroyer! Or just leave it as it is.

Due to a somewhat-recent reformat, I've lost my destroyer.

Sorry to hear that dude, it was really showing promise. Man, that happened to me once, one of my partitions went screwy and I lost half a dozen almost-completed renders. But I went back and made them even better than before. I hope you're still modelling.

Haven't really had the urge to model for past few months, but I started on a new model yesterday to get back into it.

[Setekh]

Great, good on you for getting back up. That's the hardest part.

[Taristin]

Indeed it is. I've been in the same situation as Ryx, although none of my meshes were really worth keeping. Still painful, though.

[Unidan]

Remember when threads like these didn't die? (at least until the work was done) 'Comon guys!

[Jetmech Jr.]

Ah, the Good 'ol Days.

Let's see some new badass ships, people, just for the sake of it

[Martinus]

[color=66ff00]Well there's a lot going on behind the scenes at the minute at FSU and I'm hoping Ryx will make another submission. How about yourself Unidan?

I go through stages like that as well, that's usually when I decide to boot up Cubase or the like and try music for a week or so. I'm convinced it doesn't do the human brain good to be thinking in 3 dimensions all the time

Off-topic, but if anybody gets partitions messed up, I found this recently: ftp://ftp2.convar.com/pcinspector/pci_filerecovery.exe

Great file-recovery proggy, and it's free! Saved all my stuff a few weeks back.

Anyway, let's see some more destroyers, people!

[Ryx]

New try... Not really sure, where this is going, though.

@Pyro: that progy actually found one file of the model, but couldn't recover.

[Moonsword]

That looks like someone took a Deimos corvette and crossed it with a Loronar Strike-class medium cruiser from Star Wars.

Looks pretty good, though.

[Taristin]

Ryx... that looks a little like my Kurruk model, that Inferno is using (AFAIK).  And the original model, before I messed it up, and then lost it in a HDD crash, looked even closer to that than the INF one.

So in short, I really, really like it.

looks like a half naked deimos to me

[Ryx]

Slow going, due to lack of creativity. (that and the loss of Nautilus haunts me. Weird... )

[Taristin]

Interesting. Not sure how I like it. I'll have to see how this progresses.

But as usual, top quality work.

Bad luck. 'tis useful though, innit?

New model looking interesting. Front section is good, if a little too similar to Deimos/Hecate nose (though it' good if you're going for design evolution rather than completely new ), and that back section is cool. Perhaps have it less....flat though. Give it a slight downward angle on the outer parts of it. It looks a bit odd with the scale compared to the nose as well. Looking good, though.
