the Onuris
a well constructed, yet extreemly ugly monstrosity, looks like a plucked mutant turkey. but it's that beutiful sort of ugly, it looks like what it was meant to look like, a big fat heavy thing.

I don't make ugly ships,:p. Except, this one, but this one isn't my design.

[TopAce]

I don't see a problem with the model. Maybe if I saw a larger picture, I would be able to tell you more about it.

Could be a useful model for a Vasudan destroyer. I suppose you didn't texture it.

[EDIT] Sorry for the double post, it was not intentional.

@Bobboau :

I don't think that your model fit into this thread here.  Actually I think it looks kinda interesting, and properly textured it could be useful, I still keeping my eyes open for some good ancient-designs, and this could be really a good ancient-destroyer.

It is hard to find a good special style (terran = blocky, vasudan =smooth and somewhat auqatic, shivan = bug-like, ancient = ??? )

(BTW, did you model it out of the shivan-frigate that was embedded in one of aldos-modeldump ? The nose reminds me of it, or a romulan warbird too. Somehow it combines attributes of many ships )

[Trivial Psychic]

I think that if there was an FS3, the destroyer Bob posted would be the new primary destroyer of the Terran fleet.  I know its said that terran = blocky, but if you look at the progression of Terran destroyers from FS1 (Orion) to FS2 (Hecate), you can see a general move towards more rounded and borderline-semi-organic look.  The bits sticking out, particularily around the engines, make it look just mechanical enough to still be Terran.  This is an FS3-era Hecate.

[Starman01]

Don't get my post wrong, I'm not really the opinion that blocky ships are a bad thing at all  I was just pointing out that there is some ancient style missing, and I hoped for gathering some ideas from you guys

But of course you have a point, that the FS2 ships where a little more smooth compared to FS 1, but I will also never forget when I saw the GTC Orff the first time, watching their cool engine-glow (for that time back) and listen to the humming engine sounds.

Ahh, the memories

LOL I see someone dug up the FingeroDoom

It was WMCoolmans idea! Blame him!

That thing needs a BFRed right on top. Talk about really flipping the bird

Even when you try to fail, you succeed. Bastard.

That thing actually looks pretty badass.

[StratComm]

Romulan Warbird meets Hatshepsut, with a huge ass to boot

I always did like that design, though I imagine it'd be a total pain to texture.

[Ghost]

Actually, Bob, I'm thinking that'd kick ass. Just texture that sucker and give it a campaign.

As for it's origins: yeah, the evolution of the Terran/Vasudan joint destroyer.. maybe with some Ancient technology from the Knossos thingies?

[Bobboau]

wow, I must have done my job right, it was suposed to be a mainline heavy destroyer for an FS3 type campain that Icefire and I were at one point planning on doing after BWO, it was suposed to take place about 80 years after FS2 and this was going to be the peak of GTVA technology. the terran and vasudan fleets had merged and it was an absolute hybrd, designated the GTVD Onuris.
if you look the name up some sites refer to it as a greek god, others an egyption one, others still the greek form of an egyption god, so even the name is an absolute mergeing of the two

and as many of you have guessed, the stumbleing block for it was the textures, I was only ever able to make one texture I realy liked for it

that went along the neck(s) and the sides (along were the shadeing is a little blocky) as you can see (if you look between the seams) I was trying to imply the incorporation of Shivan technology

[Ghost]

Damn, man... that'd be cool as hell. The engines would obviously be Terran textures, judging from the shape. Meh. Oh well, wrong topic for discussion... Methinks this doesn't belong in this topic, because that's a badass ship.

[Imagine]

yes the plucked mutant turkey is not ugly enough

[MrGosh]

Hey there!
     Here's my first model ever.  I guess it's technically a work in progress, but everything I try to do to it makes it look uglier.  As it is, I think it would fit in pretty well in the original Star Fox!

It's true, it is. But my attempt to put it in-game as a sort of easter egg just made people's computers crash

That actually looks pretty good, if it was smoother in-game (I've no idea how that works, but I think it would). Maybe you can contribute it to the modpack.

[starfox]

Interesting model, that Onuris is, yes. It sure looks organic to me and with some proper texturing it would be great.

[Nuke]

bob, your model kicks ass. it would look a million times better if it was textured though.

the uglyest ship i have is the rumrunner

but it falls in the 'designed it as ugly but it accidently came out cool' class.
