Yeah, but look at who you're quoting...

Mr. Can-I-have-sex-with-the-mesh-?

I wouldn't touch this one with a 10-foot dildo. Sorry.

[Swamp_Thing]

Are you still taking entries?
I went and did me a destroyer too!

[Knight Templar]

Hey, that'd be really neat without the nacelles.

[Sandwich]

Agreed, plus it's too dark for the purpose of this thread (that being to actually see what it looks like). But the silohette looks cool.

don't count on me modeling it for you though, cause I can't do that yet

[Swamp_Thing]

So, what´s the news on Ryx´s model? Has it been rebuilt, or not? I heard it was lost during a PC meltdown.
I really loved that design, it´s the best i´ve seen yet.
Any news?

[Corsair]

That thing by Swamp_Thing looks more like a large, moobile city in space than a destroyer.

I ran out of ideas for fixing a bit I'm not happy with, so I haven't touched in a while. That and school.

I've been meaning to return to it, though. So it's not abandoned.

In slightly (un)related news; I will probably buy myself a Wacom tablet.

I wish i had never posted that ugly thing, now i regret it!!
That´s the problem with every noobie modeler, we always think it looks good when we are doing it, but looking at it after a while, it just makes us wanna barf!!

[Annihilation]

I liked that destroyer, but it surely looks huge like a city. It seems able to put some saths in its pockets!

By the way, I'm new here at the HLP forums and this is my first post, so... Hi! (How creative eh?)

[karajorma]

Go check out the SCP forums.  Take a bucket to catch your drool in though

[Moonsword]

Also, read Karajorma's highly informative FAQ, located in his signature.

[Annihilation]

Thanks for the welcoming people!

I'll check the FAQ, I have the vanilla FS2 but only now I'm trying the SCP release.

A destroyer:
approx. 3-4 km, 10000 polys (unoptimized), no weapons
(inspired by the CED Expediator from D3)





A superdestroyer:
7.1 km, some weapons, 18000 polys

[pyro-manic]

I like that superdestroyer model. Waaaay too big though - make it normal destroyer-sized...

[Corsair]

Those are both very nice! I have one problem with the destroyer though... how can it destroy if it has no weapons?

[knn]

Actually I like large, superpowerful ships, and that one looks like a destroyer. It would look bad if it was 2 or 3 km. I wanted to make a destroyer that is bigger than even the Colossus, and would succeed where the Colossus failed. I can make it smaller, but no more than 6 km.

Anyway, I'll post another destroyer, it's 2 km only:

[karajorma]

Very nice work.

I think your superdestroyer would work perfectly well as a destroyer though. Seems a pity to waste such a nice design on a juggernaut. Jugs don't tend to get used that much as they're a little too big to be used as aything other than a plot device.

[knn]

Thanks. I'll add some weapons soon. But that destroyer does have one weapon. That big hole in the front is a large deflector which can be used as a weapon (like Star Trek deflectors), which is quite powerful, possibly capable of defeating the Sathanas.
