Re: Very Early WIP: GTrC Odessy.
It actually looks pretty big for a cruiser right now. Why not call it a corvette?

Errr... :

He's got a Myrmidon there for comparison. A Myrmidon is just under 20 metres long. This ship is 15 and a half Myrmidons long. Therefore it is 310 metres long, which is too small for a corvette, IMO.

Well, that's very WIP ship. It might be good for LOD3 or 4, but for LOD0 we all would like to see detailed ship with lots of turrets and cool hi-resolution maps.

Re: Very Early WIP: GTrC Odessy.
    At this early stage it's looking more Vasudan than Terran to me.

 
Re: Very Early WIP: GTrC Odessy.
so it's longer than a leviathan (250 meters long.) you could justify it, by saying that its weaponary is about equal, but it has superlong range (hell, even a small fighter bay, with like 4 myrms or something)

Otherwise, i'd say it's a light corvette
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Well it has to be a bit bigger to hold and service the fighters (I'm thinking 6 to 8).  For anticap weponry I was just going to give it a couple ter-slashes (I know thier crappy, but they have a far better ROF than the SGreen).  And I thought it looked a bit vasudan too, but that's how it turned out for above reasons and not wanting it to look like the ... one from Return to Sol.

A couple TerSlashes?
The Deimos only has 4. I hope you mean 'one'.

     From the comments that follow it's pretty clear he means LTerSlashes (since he compares them to the SGreen).

For ships of iffy sizes like this, I rarely use retail weapondry and make my own. IE: MGreen

Re: Very Early WIP: GTrC Odessy.
The Rakshasa is ~350m long and the Mentu is~ 320m, so this definitely falls under cruiser, and not of iffy size.
Stick with SGreens or LTerSlashes.

Here's a hopefully less Vasudan looking version.

What Galemp said.
Also, some smoothing would be in order, as the fully-faceted look makes it appear less attractive than it could be.

Still it doesn't look very Terran. If it's smoothed it'd look like Vasudan ship.

Yup, not that that's a bad thing. We could use more Vasudan ships.

Re: Very Early WIP: GTrC Odessy.
Well, since Terrans and Vasudans always seem to have equivalants,  I'll just leave this and try agian for a Terran version.

Don't let this just sit and collect dust, though!  :nervous:
