Perhaps little spheres between the arms?

[Setekh]

That would just be asking for it.

"Hey look Alpha 1, check out these little guys stuck on this destroyer's hull. Heheh, they look so funny... look, this one's pointing at me... they're all pointing at me! Uhhh, I mean... uh-oh."

[Taristin]

Nah. I intend to use those for the larger beam weaponry. The little HLP-logo shaped disc turrets will be for anti-fighter support. ;D

[redsniper]

dude... nice ship first of all, but what we need is.. is.. an HLP ship! a big capship with the HLP logo painted on the side, or at least a reskin of the Orion w/ The Logo™ (which would be hard with tiling textures and all)

[jdjtcagle]

:V: has there ship

:HLP: needs there's

[Singh]

reminds me of the big cruisers from the original I-War

[Lightspeed]

Oy Raa, I love you more with each day that passes

In effort to reduce the poly count of the turrets (Which were horrendously High) I've come up with this.  I'm not exactly thrilled about them, but how well would FS_open run with a 3k ship, with another 3k worth of turrets on it?  Unless you can convince me the hit is worth the visual appeal. I'll have to keep refining this lower poly one...

[Gloriano]

Fantastic job looking good

[KARMA]

go for the lower poly, the higher one is a waste

[Taristin]

Ok. Hopefully it'll be too hard to tell that those turrets are now less than half the poly count of the originals.  And I made the double-armed ones into actual 2-parters, because they do look funny, as I had them planned, as a single part turret with two stabilizer arms.
Critiques?

[Black Wolf]

It actually looks pretty good - this for Ferrium, or FS2?

Oh, and...

[Knight Templar]

Why does it have to be big? It'd be a nice corvette.

[Bishop]

Size down turrets, paste more on it and you got the Vasudan Juggernaught people want that long.

[c914]

With this size of turrets that ship could be nice vasudan corvette:yes:

[Janos]

How many turrets are protecting the engine and the rump of the ship?
... just thinking.

This would be a nice heavy corvette (something like a beefed-up Sobek).

[Col. Fishguts]

Looking very good. But yes, if it's gonna be destroyer-sized, those ventral-mounted missile launcher thingies should be a bit smaller.

[Setekh]

Raa, I think that mesh is in a pretty satisfactory state. Needs some textures, dude.

You need some professional help.
