Another Terran Corvette
After giving up on my Vasudany Cruiser, I once again go into the depths of... Terran Craft, oh the blockiness! Well uh sorta.

So, it's a Corvette. Smaller than a Deimos, but a tad sleeker though. Maybe a light corvette or something. No turrets yet, I want to get the general shape down before I go ahead and make those poly consuming turrets... So general comments and criticisms welcome. Still trying to think of a name for it too.





Maybe this time I'll actually finish a ship and release it. :p

It's actually a pretty good model of a basic oblong warship, but there's nothing really distinct about it. The Deimos had those extensions on the bottom with the engines; the Iceni had two 'folded legs' underneath with the engines; the Hecate has fins and towers, etc. I think it needs a defining feature to make it instantly recognizeable in profile, or from a distance.

Right now it strikes me as looking more Star Wars than Freespace, more Terran than Vasudan. Textures could help a lot with that though.

Overall I like the deisgn. Sleek and sinister. ;)

It's nice, but a little undistinctive IMO.

i think its awesome,
it manages to be sleek and smooth and deadly, while looking absolutely nothing like a penis, because you mechanical look in there somehow

i really like those grooves in the side of it, and those vents in front of the engine
very cool

Edit: actually, the entire engine block just reeks of cool awesomeness, great work

IMHO it really looks like Deimos MK II. Nice work.

I always find it interesting on what people see in ship designs. To me it looks like some cross between a Deimos and a SW Dreadnought (Way different than what my concept art looked like though). But hey, nothing's to stop you from saying what it looks like to you. Just like looking at clouds.

Anyhow, I would agree that it does need some distinctive feature, so it's not just a sleek Deimos without engine pods. The only question now is what... I've always been a sucker for moving parts, so I might do something with that.
