Well, presenting a WIP probably results in opinions for exactly that WIP.

General suggestion : cut off/reduce the bridge section, it's mainly that part that makes it looks like a "boat". Furthermore you may try to make the sides parallel in some parts, since the "arrow" shape (seen from above) adds a lot to the boat look as well.

So you got my opinion, now you may continue with your chainsaw.

Despite what everyone else seems to think, I LOVE it as is. Before you go hacking it up, if you do, I would like to see if my boys can texture it up. Lemme know if you want to give us a shot.

Don't cut off the bridge section - it brings back sweet memories of Space Battleship Yamato, Irresponsibe Captain Taylor and all the old warship like shows.

I suggest grabbing some ideas from Gundam though - those ships had good gun emplacements, if not for the Minovsky effect (radar = pile of useless garbage) they would have p0wned all suits.

Put guns on the lower portion of the ship, as said before.

I LOVE this design - it is merly different from FS Canon, though IMHO it can still enter the FS Universe as a sublight space battleship - ergo a ship built BEFORE subspace drives were common.

I like is as it is, cept the radar and the underdetailed rear section/bridge

Don't think it needs textures to be honest, its a really nice model.

Y'know, star destroyers looked rather boat-ish, as well...

[Knight Templar]

Hardly. Only the bridge tower, and barely at that.

OY!! It needs to be textured, but I see his point. Maybe it does not need much .

Not unless you're talking about the Eclipse-class SSD.

The Star Destroyer's shape actually makes good sense, because it allows all the guns along each broadside gun bay to fire forward, the same goes for all guns mounted towards the centerline on the upper and lower surfaces. Of course, this costs you in rearward firepower....

[Jetmech Jr.]

The reason I said that is because people were ragging on ST's Ship for being 'boat-like' when a Star Destroyer or Super Star Destroyer have virtually the same shape, yet are liked for it.

[NGTM-1R]

But they don't look boatlike. Boats don't flare out like they do. This one doesn't flare out like they do either, it tapers at both ends like a boat.

[Jetmech Jr.]

[NGTM-1R]

Try again, with the sideview.

Note that it tapers at the end.

[Jetmech Jr.]

I'm sorry, but I don't see how it makes the model look like a boat (bad thing, apparantly) and worse than an SD...

[NGTM-1R]

Then I'm afraid you are beyond my help.

[Jetmech Jr.]

It would seem so...

[pyro-manic]

Groovy model, but there's a word that springs to my mind:

Stubby.

It looks rather fat and dumpy at the moment - stretch it out slightly to make it a bit sleeker.

I like it.

[Jetmech Jr.]

Taking a good look at it again, I have to say that I agree with Pyro. Also, It looks more reminiscent of a cruiser than a corvette.

[Grimloq]

wheee! its the fenris's long-lost brother!

*ahem* actually, i dont like the model much. its a good model, i just dont care for it

could work as some kind of pre-fenris cruiser. lower polys though, that thing would hurt my compy quick.
