Please tell me it has two nacelles and you're not going to name it the Swarmer Mk.2. ;)

Nice BTW!

Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

I'd refine the nose to be more like your pick and less stubby/bulbous. :)

Sadly, I don't know what that's in reference to, but it is a single nacelle. Not that it'd be hard to run it through the symetry tool and make two, but I don't want to do that.

I guess he's referring to the swarmer from Homeworld Clicky

But don't make it symmetrical....asymmetrical = gooood

Asymetrical is more Terran, Vasudans generaly don't dablle in it

Horus: Has the cockpit ooff-center, otherwise symmetrical.
Ma'at: OK, I'll give you that, but the asymmetric looks of it resemble those of naval ships. Or something. I got nothin'.
Satis: Huh?

Terrans love symmetry. It's big on almost everything they do. Only one Terran ship is assymetrical, and it's the ugliest behemoth in te fleet (Orion). SO I think your argument has no standing.

Besides, I'm keeping it as is. I like it. It's my mesh!:p

Awesome. I like it a lot - though it looks a bit off from your sketch at that angle. It needs to be flatter on the front, i.e. the tip of the nose needs to be lower down on the model (at th moment, the very front looks to be halfway up the cockpit, rather than below it). What's it going to be (assault fighter, bomber, etc)?
Any fool can pull a trigger...

Assault fighter. With the latest beam technologies, Bombers are becoming lesser and lesser valuable. :doubt:
I realize that the front is off a bit, but textures will take care of it. And I'm happy enough witht he geometry. I just need to finish the UV mapping on it. Then start making the textures for it. I think I'll actually start on that tonight.

*bump*

Slight update. It's UV mapped, but now I have to texture it...
joy.

I've never mapped Vasudan ships before. I fear I'll screw it up verily...

Oh well...

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
