Post your random ideas for Uglies
I'm starting this thread as both an idea warehouse and a show-off thread for Uglies -- ships which are patchwork monstrosities made of random parts, and are usually used by pirates. Feel free to post your own model pics, or even just poorly-drawn ideas (like mine :p).

The naming convention so far has been that of Native American (First Nation) tribes. Other suggestions are welcome.
Already taken by completed or in-progress models are:
- Cherokee
- Yurok
- Navajo
- Comanche
- Seminole

- Choctaw

Re: Random ideas for Uglies
So. Since I can't model, I'll start things off by putting these three crappy-looking MSPaint mock-ups here instead.

UTF Ojibwa:
This one's not a completed idea, really. Those white circles are where guns are supposed to go, but I couldn't find a subassembly that looked right. Also I couldn't settle on a left wing.


UTF Zuni:
Yeah, I know. It looks horrible. Hopefully, though, the idea comes across.


UTB Lakota:
Another horrible monstrosity using parts from a TVWP Mustang-Beta and an Amun.

Re: Post your random ideas for Uglies
I like the Ojibwa, is it intended to have a very high speed? It sure looks like it. IMO the left wing should be a Myrmidon, Perseus, Valkyrie or Angel wing. But, hey, it's your ship.

The Zuni looks okay, too. Not sure about the Lakota, I think we need another angle. (Which would be a bit hard considering you did it in Paint.)

Yeah, I was thinking maybe even an Athena tailfin.

Re: Post your random ideas for Uglies
Not in my mind. I was thinking a Fenris with the Sobeks arse fins. And the odd zod armour plate.

Re: Post your random ideas for Uglies

I was serious with the Lucifer-Orion... The entire front have kinda made it through to Sol. Wouldn't they try to...you know, make it work again?

If guys are lost in space and all they have to scavenger are dead shivans then why not?

Disassemble three Feneri and slap them back together to make a weird corvette, maybe adding parts sticking out from fighters and bombers and whatever else might come in usefull.
