Alien ship ( ther isn,t lot of them ).





Any sugestion? howi it looks?
And question anyone know how to create a new speacies in tables ( i know that there is an option in FSO ). I need full suport for ships tables ( new color  of ships in FRED )

[karajorma]

Impressive as usual c914. Your stuff gets better every time

One question though. What is it? Fighter, cruiser, destroyer?  

[c914]

Big bad hevy armed destroyer:D  sieze over 3 km.

[ShadowDrakken]

on a 3km scale, I presume there is, at least technician foot trafic through the "wing" areas... this makes me feel that the shape is very inefficient for a destroyer class since it would make traveling between section of the ship a very very lengthy trip

as a fighter however, it's a nicer shape, especially for an interceptor type fighter that need to move quickly in a generally straight direction but still maintain some manuverability

Oh, and 'light fighter' was the first thing to cross my mind when I saw this

[JarC]

me too, was just wondering where the pilot would be seated when I read destroyer and 3Km....

[Knight Templar]

Looks nice, but also like it needs a main body of sorts going down the x-axis.

[Trivial Psychic]

With the probes sticking out front, it was kinda reminiscent of the 3rdspace alien capital ships from Babylon 5... without the energy sphere.

Later!

[Bobboau]

looks sort of like an alien design I once thought up for a "final chapter of freespace" campain, was going to be a cousen race of the Shivans that we make an alience with only to find out that they were the bad guys all along (and the reason why the shivans tryed to wipe us out)
but I got better ideas, and moved on

[DaBrain]

Without the egdes on the wings, it could take part in Andromeda

Very cool design. (Even though I hate the series )


But I'd also say "add a cockpit, and make it a fighter".

It's remote controlled

That's what the antennas are for.

[Black Wolf]

It's a nice design, but would be a lot more alien as a fighter.

The key to making an alien race is the textures however. With the correct texture set and backstory, that could be made to look passably Terran or Vasudan, but with an unusual UVMap or a totally new set of tiles you could very well be onto a winner.

[Lightspeed]

Make it ancient.

[Taristin]

It looks more like a stationary gun embankment to me.

[c914]

Why most of you want to do fighters of my ships:doubt:
this ship will be destroyer:D  
And some new screens ( without turets )



and here is  fighter ( yep a real fighter ) Model is done, needs only texsture.

[karajorma]

Impressive as always C914

[GT-Keravnos]

Agreed upon!

[Black Wolf]

Much better than my attempts at alien ships, and a good mix of unique while remaining mechanical looking (I mean, that's how most sentient species would make their ships, right?

Now... Textures

[c914]

Texstures..thats only easy to say. I think that i gona use change Vasudan and Shivan  texsture or mayby someone had non use alien skins;7

[Black Wolf]

Argh... don't do that! It'll be really obvious and noticable... What sort of look are you thinking about? Organic ala the Vasudans, dark and semi mechanical like the shivans or fully Mechanical like the terrans? All three can be made to look equally alien don;t forget - people around here always seem to assume that Alien=Organic looking.

[c914]

well ship looks like this with texstures:
