I felt like making something bigger than a fighter so I decided to model a corvette. I'm still working on it but I don't know what else to add to it (apart from the anti fighter defenses).



So, what do you think?

It looks ok, rather simplistic. It could use some details, but the shape is nice :) Although those guns are a tad bit too long (and very low-poly - you're allowed to use rounded shapes you know ;) ).

Nice design. Needs more detail IMO.

IMO, it looks more like a battleship than a corvette (maybe for those WW2 battleship-looking turrets). Anyway, nice model :yes:

I don't much care for the 'fins' on the bridge (I think it's the bridge.. anyway, near the top). Doesn't quite feel like a corvette. Not bad though, keep refining, you'll achieve eventual perfection!  :)

Thanks for the comments  :)

I've continued to mess around with the model:



Is it better?

Unknown Target & Snail: Yeah I know... I'm not very good at making things detailed.

Darth DySkO: I thought so. I wanted it to resemble a WW2 ship.

Admiral Edivad: Nope, but I might add them later.

Ulala: I hope I do :)

Wow, compared to the Inferno designs, this one looks awesome. Compared to any of the FreeSpace designs this looks nice.

What's that supposed to mean? :mad2:

Though if you're talking about the super-blocky Phobos, I sort of agree with you. It doesn't look like a successor to the Deimos, way to blocky.

I just find half of the Inferno designs to be impractical.

Many Inferno designs in R1 are, I say, crap. And the Shivan fighters which use the Harpy's maps, the Succubus, other stuff from OTT (except if they've been tweaked), Pakhet, Apis, etc. suck IMO.

I do like the fact that some of the concept arts were made into models, but I think that should be more of an addon for the other ships.

 
I think this ship definitely looks more like a cruiser or some sort of heavy monitor ship than a corvette. Those guns look mean and purposeful, but rather overkill for a corvette! Also...I prefer ( personally speaking ) the original version without the two large engines ( I think they are ) at the rear of the hull. They would block the arc of fire for the side turrets and restrict firing to the front arc only. This would almost make turrets pointless. The original design would give them a full 180 arc of fire.

  • A one hit wonder, you still want to touch this.
Looks just like something from gundam.
Every pilot's goal is to rise up in the ranks and go beyond their purpose to a place of command on a very big ship. Like the colossus; to baseball bat everyone.

I was thinking along the lines of a future Confed destroyer    ;)
Although those massive turrets need to be chopped down quite a bit.
And if you decide to remove the engines, I want a copy beforehand... their perfectly designed for bussard intakes.  :)
