well, without exaggerations i can say that it was the hardest game model i have ever created. i cant think of the fighter, i hope it wont be so difficult

[starfox]

So far, very good.....
Any idea about Thirdspce capital ship weapons ?
Are they using beam weapons, or those "pulse cannons" used on their fighters...

[IPAndrews]

The fighter looks a bit like a sea creature of some kind with a few mechanical bits stuck on. It's not as awesome looking as the capital ships but it'll be a damn sight easier to model.

[-Norbert-]

Shouldn't the gap between the 3 distinct parts be a little bigger?

Anyway it's really great work. I can't wait to see that monster with textures. And for the weapons, I would put some of those "Fireball-throwers" the fighters used and some beams (about the color of the ball-thing in the middle of the ship) on it.
Or maybe just one massive beam?
I don't know.
The only thing I know for sure is, that someone of the TBP team will come up with something fitting

[starfox]

Speaking of "the ball-thing in the middle", what excatly is it ? Is it a reactor ?
Anyway, what is the exact size of the warship, any official info ?

[I_E_Maverick]

it is something around 2km if you believe the estimation from b5tech.

the ball thing in the middle is a uber cool new technology weapon energy engine thing which only 3rd space beeings can understand

[Trivial Psychic]

That ball thing in the center is gonna be a challange to map.  IIRC, its supposed to resemble one of those plasma ball things that people have on their shelves.  The outer shell could be given a blue-ish transparent texture, but trying to do the center of the ball would be difficult.  It might be done however, with an animated glowpoint, placed at the center of the sphere.

[-Norbert-]

You could try to make 2 balls (one outer, and one withing that), that rotate in different directions, or even different axis.
I don't know how it would look, or if it's even possible, but it could work.
Of course both balls would have to be translucent and maybe even with glowpoints or something on it.

started the fighter, 50 mins so far:

[Trivial Psychic]

Lookin' good, Maverick!

[starfox]

Any plans for that "Energy Shield" ? I know it's bit early, but still..
One question, for the Shield though, did the Capital Ships have one ?
*Damn Sheridan decided to nuke'em, BEFORE we could see the capship in action*

[Trivial Psychic]

Good catch Sarfox.  I forgot to mention a shield mesh.  As for the Capship, we never saw if they did have shields, but based on the fact that they could shield the entire gate mechanism, I'm guessing that shielding a cap-ship is well within their capabilities, so I'd advise it having shields as well.

[Slasher]

Looks like the sinister badass it should be.    Can't wait to blow these things up.

[starfox]

Looks amazing. Damn those things were equal to Whitestars....
*Goes to start training...*

[I_E_Maverick]

another one:

[Slasher]

And my lack of knowledge of B5 ships strikes again!  I'm pretty sure this is an EA/Earthforce or IPX design....but which one? 

Looks good, whatever it is.

THIS.

[Slasher]

*drools*  No wonder I didn't recognize it.  Funny, 'cause people have literally been waiting years (3 or 4 at this point) for a supply ship for the EA. 

[Sigma957]

Ah the cotten tender, was going to be seen In the begining but was left out, nice Mav.
