Engine ideas needed.

Also needed are ideas for greebling, like side armor plating or something. C'mon people! Help! Criticize! Whatever!

just look at me!!!!!  I mean... err... my model...! Look at my model!!!

[Tiara]

If it's for the GTVA... Cut down on the smoothness.

[Taristin]

Screw the GTVA. Let's pretend it's for another universe.

Well if you want to do just one engine you can have that engine end indent or well in i think that might be an intresting effect/design for the engine. Hmm all I can really think of right now, defintly looks intresting so far keep it up

[MatthewPapa]

You could make it like the Hades or a star destroyer. I like the 3 engine design of a star destroyer.

[Taristin]

I actually intend to add an engine to the bottom fin/wing. One on both sides. Kinda like the Hecate may have if I'm remembering it correctly.

But the main body needs something. I tried PoA type engines, but they looked funny on this ship.

[Taristin]

Slight Update. I decided it needed the bottom engines. I also put engines on the back.  And I flattened and widened the small ridge up top. I intend to put some sleek turretry up there. Maybe missile launchers, or something. When i learn to make turrets, that is...

[Taristin]

[Psychonaut]

Wow!!!!! Nice!!!! I wish i could do this, too. For texturing i would prefer a dark look. Metallic with lots of little window-glowmaps. So the vessel could look really huge.

[übermetroid]

I dont like the engines on the bottom....  They look out of place.

[Janos]

I would maybe spice up the flanks of the rear part - they look a tad blank, but then again I go for flat and chunky instead of tall and smoooooth, so .

But I'm really liking it. Make it different. If you like to stuck it into FS universe, make it some Vasudan destroyer - more like corvette, actually.

Or something really big. We need more "ZOMG 98 kilometers in lenght!!!1" thingies.

[Taristin]

...Err. No. At most this ship'll be 3.5 Km if I even decide to make it that big.

I need to model some turrets for it. Since I just finished the body work. Once I start turretting I'll post more screenies, but I need to either make or find a turret model first.

Anyone have any donations?

[Beowulf]

Engines should be roughly equal in length to what you've already got, centralized as one long cylinder with magnetic accelerator coils distanced along the length.

Kinda like a tube through a bunch of donuts.

Anti-matter drive.

What can I say? I like BIG engines.

[Taristin]

[Sheepy]

i like it, i like it , dunno why but im thinking of a vasudan iceni. maybe smooth the engines at the bottom into the fin a bit more. And possibly an extra layer of plating along the spine and up the upper fin, with a little recess for some small windows.

Looks great thou mate.

[KARMA]

I'd add some large long nailed hecate-style fins to the nose, starting from the bottom section and pointing downward/backward
add some segments here and there to break the plain sections

[magatsu1]

I'd have semi recessed engine pods a'la Starbug

[Lightspeed]

What can I say? I love it.

[Taristin]

I've done a few little changes that may or may not stay. Mainly a large docking bay on the bottom.  It's more than large enough to let an Argo trough, should this be destroyer sized, but if it's corvette sized, it'll be in proportion.

Also, I've put ridges on the back end. They need more work, if I decide to keep them.

And lastly, there's a turret test for ya'. I dunno how well they work on this ship. I'm thinking the double armed ones are big beams, the single armed ones are aaaf and the like, and the flat boxes are missile launchers. With regular plasma turrets being added later.  

I don't know how I feel about these turrets yet, though. And they are high poly.

[Setekh]

Looks fantastic. Those turrets on the top ridge, though... whenever I look at them, I can't help seeing some guys holding their hands, having just gotten their heads chopped off. Put them in battle position or something.
