I've been playing FS for about a year now, but only the 3.6.7 uber buggy version I found on version tracker all that time ago, so you can probably imagine my joy at not only finding an updated and easily playable version, but a plethora of modifications and dedicated users congregated in one place.

Anyway, instead of wasting your time with a mere "Hi! I'm new!" sort of post, I thought I'd also include a model I've been working on during what precious little free time I can spare. It's my first time making a spaceship type dealie model, but I've done lots of work with architecture before. So, without further ado, here it is. I'd appreciate some helpful criticism.







If I had to classify it, I'd say it's a battle carrier. Made for carrying a myriad of crap to chuck at the enemy but able to withstand a reasonable amount of punishment itself. However, since military juggernauts are boring, it is most susceptible to bombing, due to its large size and inadequate anti-fighter coverage.

 
:welcomeblue:
and enjoy your stay!
:wtf: That thing looks somehow familiar

Nice job otherwise, though :yes:

What race are we talking here? It looks shivan to me.
Fun while it lasted.

Then bitter.

 
Are those Triforce symbols on it? :p

Anyway, looks pretty good so far. And it doesn't really need good anti-fighter weapons when it has so many fighters to defend itself with, right?

Hail! The battle carrier of Evil's bane!
Fun while it lasted.

. . . What the deuce are you talking about? I suppose I could google, but. . .

I was actually going for Terran, but as I said, my experience in spaceship making is very low.

Fighter's have a tendency to 'splode. Especially when they're not Alpha 1.

...but i'll explain for you :P

It's a relic from the Legend Of Zelda series of games.

Ha! Zelda?! That's silly. I was just mucking about with the scale tool. And got that.
