I was originally going to completely redo my broadsword.  I didn't like my attempt.  I picked up the broadsword over at Solsector that Corsair made and started playing around with it. Poly-reducing, symetry etc....  Theres also a piece of one of the HTL freespace models

It still needs some work, think the top/bottom turrets are too small.

Wow that looks like a crazy mix of a Broadsword, Raptor and a FS fighter I have forgotten the name of.
Now give the missile pod some swarm missiles ^_^

You're right about the turrets, they look like peashooters on that thing! The guns at the rear look a little pathetic too! Something this big needs something more intimidating!

I assume this is not for WCS...

I really like this design, but would you like to consider my suggestion? :nervous:

What about more turrets, at least 4 of them? I'd really like to see a nicely defended bomber close to WWII ones. In addition, I think turrets could have two more gunpoints.

Am I exaggerating with this request? Does the code allow something like that?

It already has three so one more wouldn't really make a difference.

I was original thinking of having 4, one on each missile section.  But after several restarts on the rear turret, i opted for two (plus the rear gunner).  Actually for the rear gunner I was trying to aim for something like the nose of a B-17, but failed miserably.

Actually they're suppose to be torpedo tubes. Although they might be a bit too small though.

Also engine exhausts need some work.  I think I'll redo them, then again it could be the fact their textured and the hull isn't.  :blah:

Ya, i think. It's bomber04hp.pof.  I tried several different methods including having just three engines, in a triangle forumation, but it looked very awkward.

Can you try to seperate the missile boxes so that each is realy a box and not connected with the other?
Might look interesting.

Hey scooby, I've been thinking about one thing: Why not try to model WCmovie or WCacademy series ships? Might be used in the future! :nod:

At least make them bigger...

I hate the WCmovie ships well mostly.
The Dralthi looks at least somewhat like a Dralthi and the Claws hangarbay looks also pretty cool. For the rest....I don't like it.

I didn't see much: I didn't recognise anything, including the big "tube" ship at the end.

On the other hand, academy... perhaps worth a shot.

This is the movie Dralthi

As for not seeing anything familiar...yes there isn't anything familiar when it comes to the ship designs.

     Are you kidding me? That human fighter was a thing of sheer beauty, the likes of which I've not seen since a homemade airplane of my childhood which used a tomato can as a fuselage.


       (that was sarcasm if you missed it - WCMovie has some of _the_ ugliest fighters I've seen ANYWHERE in sci-fi)
