Sitting at 3.5K, I thought I'd better stop greebling

I'm not too sure what I was aiming at when I started this, it's a bit high-poly to be a light fighter, but only has a single obvious missile port on it, though it's got plenty of guns, I might see if I can add more missile ports, or just give it ridiculous shielding to compensate for the lack of missile-power, I'll see what happens. It's all UV-Mapped, and that was a bugger of a job, so I just need to start texturing now.

Any ideas what it is? 

First image is of the top, second of the base.

Looks nice to me. However, it seems more like a police fighter or mercenary fighter then a military fighter. Any chance we can get some images of it rotated 180 degrees? (I'll assume it's symmetrical)

Apart from 'awesome', no idea really.

As I posted, I'll say police or mercenary fighter. Depending on the exact scale, that is... if it's <20m long, definitely mercenary.

[Flipside]

LOL Thanks

Yup, it's symmetrical, to be honest, it's those side-arms that consume a large amount of the polygons.

From the engine/power plant configuration, my thoughts were headed in the direction of long-range escort, something that needs to be able to respond to threats quickly, and may not have resources such as a resupply ship available to them, so they rely heavily on overwhelming firepower from the guns. Admittedly, the same requirements are needed from a Policing vessel.

The Super Hoover? OHHH, I've got it, the Killer Kirby. Eureka!

Looks good.

Thanks It's because it's untextured, the missile port certainly bears more than a passing resemblance to a vacuum cleaner attachment atm, but that's partly because of the grey material, once the texture is over it, it'll look better

Only 3500 polys? 

Looks a bit like a shuttle craft.

[Flipside]

Hehe, to be honest, that's a always a dilemma with design, when to stop adding polies, especially with fighters that are likely to appear in groups.

Personally, I think it'd be a bit heavily armed for a shuttle, the cockpit would seem a bit large, my feelings are the ship would be too small.

[AllStarZ]

That's a sick ship. Though I'm thinking the cockpit is huge in comparison to the rest of the ship.

The first one, with the nose tilted down  looks  radical.  Sweet man, sweet.. 

[Send in the TMF]

looks a bit blocky to me, but that might just work perfectly when textured, Good job

[Unknown Target]

Nice, looks like a Loki and a rhino got jiggy with it.

[AllStarZ]

They're both the same ship, just from different angles.

Ohh! The Space Devil or is it the Asteroid-dust Buster. 

Ok, I'll stop.

It's a cousin to both the Pyro-GL from Descent II and the Magnum fighter from Descent³.

[ssmit132]

It does look like a Loki. It's pretty good, don't know what purpose to give it though.

Combined with an Apollo and an Ursa, maybe.

[BloodEagle]

It looks like a bomber designed solely for destroying juggernaughts. 

[Scooby_Doo]

or some futuristic car...
