It's not as bad as it would be if those were windows. Hell - it's not all that bad in most cases as it is.

Hmm... I like it, but it looks kind of... plain.

Here's a few suggestions...

A ) Maybe make some more armour-plating/greebling stuff on the sides. It looks a bit bare, and without a custom texture, it'll look rotten, methinks.

B ) On the neck... I dunno. Part of me wants to beg for a tiiiiiiny bit of exposed superstructure, but that WOULD be kinda impractical... But FS2 isn't known for practicality, is it? :p

C ) On the neck, DEFINATELY add more... I dunno. Smoothing possibly, but definately some horizontal greebling. It'll give it more of an appearance of extending and neck-likeness, rather than just a bland extension. *Shrugs*


Just my two cents ^^;

Too chamferred for my tastes. And I see a mustached man in the face, after the revisions.

Otherwise it's a decent start.

Following an extremely... bad... incident, I was forced to change my web habits from posting a lot and being sociable, to lurking and staying away from more than 3-person chats.

...And I'm surprised... Somebody actaully noticed I sort of vanished?

Whoops, the email notification system failed again... I didn't get any emails and I thought the thread was dead.
Anyway, the moustache is the mouth I was talking about... removed. I still don't know what to do with the face, I'm not sure if the two long thingies should stay or not.
Thanks for the suggestions Grimloq, I'll see what I can do.

My suggestion:
 


Excuse the crappy hand drawn style, but you get the idea. The bright dots are supposed to be "bridge windows", the darker lines some embossed armor plating thingies.

Am i the only one who cringes whenever you see Bridge Windows or a Bridge right at the front of a SpaceShip, essentially where most of the firepower of an enemy ship is going to impact. Sure, it looks good, but it'd make much more sense to have the Bridge of a ship farther back in a more sheltered area, you lose the view, but you also lose the fear that at the smallest hint of fire, your 'windows' will smash and you'll experience the delightful pleasure explosive decompression bequeaths upon one's body...

Its not glass though. Its the toughest transparent material known to man. For security reasons they don't make entire ships out of them though.

It's the basic Executor Arguement, in RotJ, this ludicrously gigantic ship, the SSD Executor, was destroyed because this piddy little fighter smashed into the Bridge, which was in a really damn exposed place! Had the bridge been in the middle of the damn ship, that could never happen...so really, bridges should have no windows at all, hell, a ship realistically shouldn't have many windows to begin with, they're just hull breaches waiting to happen...

exposed or not the weapons on a SSD are so immense no one would have thought that it could get close.

Since you can't kill anything larger than a bomber with collisions, I think windows can be made.

Didn't someone say once that the windows of a JCB, or something like that, are the strongest thing on it?
