Y'all just had to go and post a bunch of inspirational pictures of warships, didn't you?

After seeing the stealth (?) warship(s?) on page 2, I thought about what would make a wet-navy ship classify as a "stealth" ship. Obviously it can't be made to blend in with the waves, so "stealth" must not be referring to visual stealth, but to something else - radar and/or sonar stealth.

So, this is my take on a wet-navy's F117, if you will. A ship with sharp angles, flat planes facing in unconventional directions, etc - something that will scatter radar waves all over the place and, if it is detected, it's radar profile certainly wouldn't look anything like a typical modern warship.

So here she is, the SSS (Sandwich's Stealth Ship) Unchristened, most definitely still a WIP. The most glaring omission so far is the complete lack of a superstructure. The dark areas are flat, level sections, with the 4 diamond-shaped areas along the sides dedicated to secondary gun turrets, which I haven't made yet.

Dimensions (hull only): 300x56x44 meters

Looks unpleasant to encounter It, as you have already said, needs fluff You want lots of pipes on a Battleship, it's something I've always noticed about Battleships is the need to build pipes everywhere

I suppose if it ran out of Ammo, it could always ram the enemy ship and saw it in half

I love naval warfare
Looks like a very original idea, sandwich
ATM, it looks a bit like a submarine with deck guns.

I say make it a bit like this.

Delta that ship kicks ass.  Yours does too sandwich.

Not really, no. Look at this ship, posted by Venom in that "Warships" thread:

Oh! the Tuatha de Danan

Sandwich: a ship is actually the only thing I can imagine being made invisible from the eye with todays technology: I'm sure it must not be compluicated to create fog with that many water around

[Sandwich]

Hah! Well, to be honest, I was gonna make it a hybrid dual-hull / hovercraft ship originally, but figured I'd start with something simpler.

2 things

1. nico posted that ship not venom
2. wtf is with the gay pink turrets?!!? *cough*not to mention the puke yellow barrles *cough*

Sandwich: the Tuatha is a submarine actually.
And you need stealth turrets my fellow edible friend

[delta_7890]

Glad to see I'm not the only one familiar with Full Metal Panic.  ^^;  Now, will your ship carry mecha too?

Would be a shame, FMP is pretty good.

[Gortef]

"Constructive" my arse! The day I get my Radeon 9800 Pro, you just had to introduce me to Lemonade Tycoon Deluxe, didn't you? 5 hours, down the drain!

I meant my reply in reference to your mention of creating fog around a ship... hovercrafts do that to a certain extent.

Ahh yes, I started out the turrets with that goal in mind, but got sidetracked and forgot about it half-way through.

Hmmm. Hmm, Hmm, Hmm. I like what I see so far - err, how many polies are you aiming at/do you have now?

Err... meh. Strudel it. PM sent, well, it will have been by the time you read this anyway. I assume. Err... oh look, a shiney object.

[Sandwich]

I'm at work, so I can't check how many polies exactly ATM, but I'd guess currently, for what you see in the screenshots, something around 1000-1500. Pretty low-poly.

And PM replied to.
