Its much better. Looks like to be an Advanced Orion
Turret making is a bit long to explain, but I densely have time to explain it:

Simple turret(Shoot goes from a box, cylinder, etc.):
Make the turret body, put it into the appropriate place. Name it as 'turret01'.
Add a local light to the position you want the shoot to appear. Normally to the top of the turret body. Name it as H_turret01
Group the local light and the body together. Name that group as 'turret01'. You will need TrueView(a plugin) to make your grouping simpler.
In theory, your turret will work if you set a firing point and a normal in the POF converter you use. I believe you will find details about modifying the POF file.

Looks like a seriously badass missile destroyer

and find something for the rest of the frotn, can't all stuff it with antennae.

that little empty area near the middle looks like it could be made easily into a docking/landing bay.

Fancy! Definitely a candidate fopr missile destroyerism, and Orion style tex's'd go down a treat. How the hell you went from what was in here before to this I'll never know, but it's still damn cool

[Manic]

That thing is looking frickin' MEAN. Me like!

[Rictor]

That looks awesome. I remember when you just had the few rectangles stuck together, and I thought "what the hell is this, thats not a ship", but you've improved it by a factor or like 100 since then. Look great, I just don't think its FS-like. It looks like something out of Wing Commander to me, maybe the WC guys would appreciate this.

Biggest comeback/improvement evar.

[Havock]

thank you.

where can i find the polycount anyway?
or is vertices the same?

*edit*

/me shoots ISP for letting me think my post didn't got through.
it's always fun when internet shuts out for a couple of minutes because someone or something is screwing around with the connection

alright:
this should be the last update for now.

now I can start texturing/add gunturrets.

need nice turrets, anybody has some?

oh yes, how do exactly DO I texture, truespace's texturing tool intimidates me with it fuzzy-ness.

[Star Dragon]

Not to label this but it looks like a VERY cool design that the X303 (from Stargate , the Prometheus) SHOULD have been (not that embarressing Terran BRICK, oh yes you can tell those humans are just starting spacecraft cause it's BUTT UGLY! Fear the ugliness!)

  I'm a HUGE fan of space-batttleships so GOOD JOB! (now for lots of cool turrets and missile tubes please!)

[Havock]

even more missiles?
it already has ****loads of em

*edit*

I could -really- use some advice on texturing and what I should do first: texturing or turretting.

[Black Wolf]

As I understand it, you need to model the ship, then model the turrets, then texture, then do the heirarchy for the turrets. I think.

I love it

OMG, that so totally kicks ass.  No offense, but your first one sucked nuts.

[TopAce]

[Unknown Target]

the first design was sacrificied to the model gods

that nicer thingy still lives, hell, i made a backup of it on a cd, just in case.

the tower is quite tall, as intended, but it's within proportions

I didn't want to make it too "flat".

[GT-Keravnos]

Oh my god!

Images of Space Battleship Yamato running through my head!!

It is fantastic!

[Turambar]

does anyone else see a resemblance to the Wing Zero's beam cannon in Gundam Wing?


Edit: Hey, I have this model!  it broke a while ago though...
