Why don't you get some ideas from Starship Troopers? They had some nice designs. http://www.closeup.de/articles/large/423554.jpg

I've been experimenting with modelling as well... and have come up with this:


Problem is, it looks like it should be huge. I need ideas for details... and engines, more importantly...

Help? Guys?

Raa: Try add someting blocky, or something. try some random beveling/extruding and see if it 'fits'.

It was meant to sort-of flow into the tower. This angle isn't the best.
I'll look at it.

Update. It's pretty obvious what I did. I'll try to make cool bump outs soon. But they're hard. :p

Ok. Now I really need more little details on the head and neck... or what I'm calling the head and neck... :p

I think the neck needs to be thicker and maybe a little longer. I don't mean to be rude but it looks somewhat awkward with that "neck." Just offering my opinion. The general concept looks good though. I like how you designed the rear.

It looks cool (Raas that is - Ryx already knows his stuff is awesome) but I don't think int looks like it neccesarily has to be huge. When I saw it, I automatically thought "Corvette". Probably because of the neck, which is remiscent of the sobek (And, somewhat vaguely, the Moloch).

Slight update to the neck region. Needs detail on the back, methinks. And maybe something 'stupid and pointless' somewhere else.

Raa, you know what that looks like? The perfect match to the Big C! Same general design, just corvette-sized! It's a great blend of Terran and Vasudan design. ;)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

But then you'd need to add vomit-inducing yellow and green textures.........

how is this for a start?

it needs a central tower.. probably put a sensor dish on the nose.. maybe play with the arse end

little yellow turrets: point defense, huge fire rate, low damage, low accuracy
medium light blue turrets: general turrets
large red turrets: capship sluggers
