I still can't tell wether I like it or not. It's shape is so basic, yet it has alot of detail...  It confuzzles my eyes.

If someone goes to the trouble of mapping it I volunteer to spend a few HOURS per day going through texture combinations till it looks decent. (or rather FS2ish as I often go wild and try extravegant looks).

  See the Babylon Project thread under XANTHUS for my latest attempt at covering a ship sufficently.
 
  One thing for a complete texture all pieces needs to be as individually mapped as possible (meaning the person has to have an idea of how many textures cover that particular area for detailing). Throwing two or three general textures on the whole thing sucks most of the time. I like it when people seperate turrets, bridge, main body, engines, and other areas of interest (hangars, radars) it makes it much more enjoyable to pick out textures and in the end looks way better then "throw a wrap on it"...

   Nice design, I think the turret bases are a little bloated though, but the missile batteries ROCK!

Excuse me, but shouldn´t that be up to the texturer? I mean, if you were Picasso, would wo have someone else choose your canvas and inks?
The texturer sees it finished in his mind, and because of it, he is the one that should map it to fit his vision. That´s how i see it, at least.

Having said that, the ship needs more than standard FS textures to really shine. It needs a custom map job, just like the Fenris. The FS textures have exausted their possibilities, it always looks "fishy" no matter what textures we use and how we use them. Wich is why i´m looking sideways to some textures i found in UT2K4. They are calling out to me, wispering "use me" in my ear...

..must...    .. resist...  
                      ..the...     ..temptation...
                                                   ..Arrrrgh!!

:nervous: :nervous:

Actually, whenever i think about ATARI sueing my behind for every penny, that temptation goes away really fast...

Err, well, sucks to be the odd man out, but I don't like it so much. I mean, it's a great model, but it looks like a boat. I cruise boat. With guns. If you cut off the bottom half and put it in water, I would applaud.

It looks good though, just not so much FS or GTVA good. :yes:

It's sublight monster built before subspace was discovred, and advanced stealth/jamming methods hadn't rendered long range radar based weaponry useless - so its primary arnament must have been the missile launchers.

I'd make the engine openings larger and that radar mesh on top of the bridge seems a little un-necessary.

You may have problmes with those side facing turrets. You may have to have them face forward as default.

Which would not be much of a loss, anyway, since the bottom part does not seem to be equipped with any weapons.

I agree it does looks like a boat.

I would suggest making the width constand instead fanning it out from front to back. And combine the two top decks and scatter the attenea there. Lastly take out the 'windows' on the top deck. Looks kinda dorky.


If all fails, take off the turrets and I'd be a neat communications device.  :)

It's a boat. *echo, echo echo...*

But seriously. It looks too much like somebody's 2 million dollar yacht with some puny gun turrets attached.

Duh! It´s a WIP!
:doubt:

I´m surprised no one said it looks like a dingy, since everything else was pretty much covered...
Oh well, we can´t please everybody.
