cut+paste into the adress bar or they wont work

i will try to get it uv mapped tomorrow and texture it next time i get a weekind off from work

[Moonsword]

I'm not sure about those engine pods on the wings or just how bulbous the forward fuselage area is.

Looks pretty good as a WIP, though.

[Nuke]

i know that forward section is abit akward, i still cant think what to do with it

[Bobboau]

remember on rounded models triangles look better than suqares

[WMCoolmon]

The design is good

Looks like a fighter with all primaries, no secondaries.

[Nuke]

thanks for the tib bobboau,

and yes, no secondaries on this ship. its a light dogfigher, one gatling gun and a 4 slot standard hardpoint.

[Liberator]

Looks Vasudan.  Not that that's a bad thing, mind you.  The textures will tell the tale.  If it's a no-missile dogfighter, it ought to be quick and very agile(I'm thinking similar flight characteristics to a Pegasus with bigger guns.)

[TrashMan]

Looks a bit fat if you ask me..

fat, but promising...

[Black Wolf]

Looks Star Trekky.

[Nuke]

its a pirate vessel, a light intercepter. i needed it to fill up the gap between recon and superiority. pirate vessels made by me are listed below, along with there intended loadout configurations. gatling guns may only use ammo for its particulr calibur.


recon > hellbat (ulesses retrofit)
dual 50mm gatlings/standard hardpoit/no secondaries

interceptor > this ship
single 100mm gatling gun/standard hardpoint/no secondaries

superiority > valk2 (formerly a gtva fighter, but i remade the ship from scratch as a pirate vessel, namechange pending)
dual 100mm gatling guns/standard hardpoint/single missile bay

assault > shagrath
dual 50mm gatling guns/single 150mm gatling gun/2 missile bays

bomber > sepuelture
dual 100mm gatling guns/single 150mm gatling gun/3 missile bays/single laser turret

criuser/freighter > rumrunner
11 turrets (4 beam, 1 flak, 4 shotgun, 2 high speed rocket launchers)

anyway i want to do a pirate campaign with multi support. ive created a ship to fill each role. i dont intend to do any other capitol ships as i dont think pirates in the freespace universe would have the capability to produce them, steal them on the other hand . other gatling types are 67mm (shivan) and 200mm (maelstrom gunboat only).

[Trivial Psychic]

I agree with Black Wolf.  I think that it looks like a pre-TNG era Romulan scout/interceptor.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

i would shrink the bulbous nose

I'm more inclined to think Whitestar.

i just threw on the uv maping. i must also add that this is the first model i did in truespace 6, everything else ive done was in 4.2

For those too lazy to get to Angelfire:

And #2:

I really like the design. How are you at mapping?

[pyro-manic]

Nice Looks kind of sleek - I imagine pirate ships as rather clunky, angular things, but it's a good mesh. Lets see some textures on there.

[Turambar]

make the bottom part of  the big bulbous section thinner  and it'll give the ship a fierce look i think.  give it a try.  Also, lenghthen the back of the wing into a kind of a tail with a graceful curve to it,  It'll look badass, cool, and pretty all at the same time

[Janos]

It's no Freespacey, mastah.

[mitac]

The wings look a bit like those from that british fighter craft - what's it called, "Harrier"?

Is it only me, or does the back section look like an insect just slipping out of its egg?
