Well, from this vantage point it's short on that mid-level detail that Freespace ships really need.  The greebling looks great, but if you can't distinguish it from a texture at medium range it's only polish.  If course the same could be said about a lot of my ships, but it needs something more.

I understand were your coming form SC, but I am loath to alter the overall shape in any dramatic way...

I'll have a think about this.:drevil:

Adding in some medium sized detail need not change the overall shape.  See the Design a Destroyer thread; a simple design can get a lot of moderate detail without going to the extremes of splitting every poly down to less than a meter wide.

I was wondering wheter this should replace the orginal Hades in Freespace Silent Threat Reborn...

Much improved from the original. Keep up the good work :)

I think that the SCP also have some sorta weapon flag that allows the barrel to spin around gattling gun style. I could be wrong though.  ;)

Not to detract from Raptor's work, but is it woth making deatiled engine nozzles, given that there will be glows in the way ?

Same for the Guns. Will the detail be noticeable ingame ?

Well, IF I can ever get my campain going, there will be pently of times when the engines are off-line;)  Besides, others do it.

As for the guns, oh yes, the level of detail is quite noticible (to me, at least)

I notice there's been very few comments about the engine spar detail attempt.  Too regular, not enough depth, what?

BUMP!

Okay, I've deeped the recesses in the hull for the deck lights to show though (I know it's hard to tell the differance from the screenies below but trust me they are deeper, up to 5m ingame), added a heat sink array to the rear of each of the forward cannon mounts, and finished the engine intakes.


The engine detail really gobbled up polys.  I MIGHT have overdone it a bit...:nervous:

Now, I REALLY need comments on the engine spar screenshot I posted before.  Those spars are really the only thing left outstanding (IMHO)

Do you guys have any good ideas for a Vasudan Warship? I mean, this is great, and there are tons of other great Terran capital ships and corvettes and fighters, I would love to get my hands on. But, the Vasudans seem to get the very short end of the stick. I dont see any "major" Vasudan warships, that get "recognized" very much in the game. In fact, I see a lot of Sobek, Aten, and Hatshepsut, but that is the very gist of it. I see a WHOLE bunch of Hecate, Orion, Fenris, Leviathan, Deimos, Colossus (although the Colossus is Vasudan AND Terran constructed, the Terrans take credit for a lot of it) and so on and so fourth. As you can see, there are very very very few Vasudan captial ships to call their own, and the GTA fleet seems to be comprised of a massive fleet.

Once I get 3D Max 5 to work for me and I upgrade my version, then I will be happy to "make it on my own" like a lot would recommend I do. Well, I try...

Looking much better :D

Raptor, this is meant to be a destroyer or super destroyer isn't it? You'll probably only see one or two in a mission at a time so 4000 polysisn't really that much. Some of Omni's ST ships use more than double that. Hell Karma's Fenris used more IIRC. :D
Those engines are some of the nicest features on the damn thing. You should definately keep them that way :D

Just do the same to the rest of the ship :)

how about making the upper spars longer than the lower ones, or vice versa ?
