Re: Carrack class light cruiser
I have to say, personally I'm still not feeling the blue stripe.  Imperial stuff should be pretty much uniformly coloured if you ask me.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
I agree with brandx. Also, what's the purpose of those lights? I know they're there on the schematics, but they're far too small to be windows and don't seem to have any functional purpose.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Well the ship is supposed to be 350 meters long, so I wouldn't say windows of that size are out of place, even if they don't seem to be typical of Imperial warships.  Definitely agree on the purple paint job though; could we maybe see how it looks with those areas done in a dark gray?

Stripe or not, they're purdy renders.  They'll be on the website shortly.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Wait until you see it with a blue filter. Sucks most of the colour right out of it. The ship looks fairly grey with a blue filter.

As for the paint job, isn't the Carrack supposed to be older? The Old Republic ships are fairly brightly painted. We'll say it's bridging the two eras together. But even the Carrack looks better than those ghastly episode II and III ships. They were incredibly... uninspired. And boring.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Yes they are meant to be older, but also don't forget that seemingly mere hours or days after the creation of the empire they had managed to repaint their Venator star destroyers a uniform grey, along with their fighters.

Yes, well, the prequels are dumb that way.

If I had to say the Empire was successful at anything...
I'd say they were very good at making gray paint.

And I think that cruiser looks great! Maybe a little too colorful, but the essence is there. :D

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
I'm not digging the paintjob. Star Destroyer gray or simply no extraneous paint would be better, but otherwise, the ship looks great. :yes:

 
Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Here it is then. Imperial grey.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
And here are some pics where I only changed the paint, and not the texture as a whole.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
I like both the imperial gray a lot and the last "neutral" pic a lot, though the latter seems to have driven through a swarm of fighter sized bugs.  Anyway it's really good looking! :yes:

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Aha!  I'm really feeling the one in imperial gray.  The dirtied up ones aren't bad either, but I really like the first set - they feel like they belong right alongside other Imperial ships-of-the-line right in the movies.

Re: Carrack class light cruiser
imperial grey ones are simply perfect.

 
Re: Carrack class light cruiser
On the shot up one, be more selective on how/where you make the burns. add a variety of different damage, missing armor plates, etc.
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Yup. Sounds like a good idea.

 
Re: Carrack class light cruiser
Agreed, it looks too intentional.

 
Re: Carrack class light cruiser
LOD's are done, as are the debris. All that's left is rigging and finishing the textures. Here's an image of detail-0 ingame:
