Way I understand it the more >4 point polys the better with HT&L. Means reduced load times.

And Blobby Engines? Got a pic that I can look at that portrays blobby engines?

not reall (I'm lazy), btw I was thinking at something anime-style, a blobby superstructure with a mech undestructure.
Something vaguely like the engines of the pods in SW ep1 or, more closely, the engines of the Nadesico (if you know what I'm talking about).

Not necessarily. It's quite futuristic-looking (in FS terms), and long, slim hull works well in that kind of ships.

And cutting it down to corvette status would probably be good.

corvette or frigate, about 1200 meters long, armour is not extremely tough, can dish out quite some damage but it's biggest advantage is that it is mu;tipurpose, it can survive fights wih a lot of things, it's fast and it carries fighters.

that's my interpretation of it.

it looks cool.

[Baron MacDoblin]

Very, VERY nice.

[SadisticSid]

Will look great once you do something with those awfully bland side pods.

[Anaz]

and a great big *bump* in the night...

Tell me, do you like the new direction with the side pods? Also, what's it look like *now*.







(*awaits calls of "PHALIC" due to round side pods*)

[Knight Templar]

........ wheels?

[Goober5000]

Keen gear, it's a drag racer!

[Star Dragon]

Now it looks like it was built by Gnomes. Gnomish enginerring tries to incorporate huge wheels that are inhabited by giant space hamsters. These hampsters turn the wheels thus providing electrical power to the engines. Though the creatures themselves have a speed limit of 30ms, most of the time the only drawback to this design is the amount of space availabel to store the hampster's food supply. A standard Gnomish sidewheeler can operate for 3-4 months before needing to secure more provisions to power the drive system.  (yes this is from spelljammer D&D)

  Please change those side things!

I'm open to suggestions.

[Knight Templar]

Anything but wheels?

[StratComm]

I'd suggest you evaluate what purpose those side pods serve and model them appropriately.  If they serve no purpose, and you can't get rid of them, make them as thin as possible and call them fins.

[c914]

those wheels are ugly:ick:
now ship looks like rattle for beby;)

[Setekh]

I like the direction the fuselage is taking.

[Havock]

the sidepods on the first pics where better, this just doesn't fit.

but perhaps alter those on the first so that they look sleeker, this ship you are making shows nothing of raw power, it screams out finesse though, shape it like that.

[Anaz]

Alright...lets give this another go. New sidepods are slimmer & shorter, they're also more "in" on top + bottom, and asymetrical on the y-axis:







Better?

[Knight Templar]

Very much so.

Did you do any work on the main body since the last time?

[Anaz]

No, I didn't. Trying to get the sidepods worked out before going back to the main body

[Knight Templar]

I guess it's the angles.
