BSGish fighter WIP, based on the Falcon from TVWP:



Edit: Updated image.

I like it Perfect for my Kayser II guns 

[Commander Zane]

We need more new fighters and bombers.

This is looking good.

[Hellstryker]

You and I would both be happier if it were a Terran corvette with a fighter bay. 

[Titan]

If looks could start orgasm... (what i get for watching family guy 3 hours straight)

I'd be doomed.

Doesn't look Corvettish though.

[Flipside]

I'd suggest you do something about the nose, it's inspiration looks just a teensy bit too obvious. Not that it's a bad model, but I think using the Viper as inspiration for both the front and the wings might be a bit blatant.

It's up to you of course, but personally, I'd recommend keeping the wing set-up but changing the front.

[Commander Zane]

The Falcon also has that nose shape.

[Flipside]

Maybe so, but then, it doesn't have the wings to emphasise the point.

If he doesn't want to change it, he doesn't have to, just saying it as I see it

[Hellstryker]

Who said it wasn't meant to be a BSG ship? As far as I can tell there aren't many out there that aren't from BtRL or Diaspora.

[Flipside]

Who said it was? No real definition was given.

If you like it as it is, then keep it as it is, but don't post an image on here and not expect to get people's opinions.

[Commander Zane]

I don't think he was expecting people's opinions.

And on that matter, there's also not many BSG ships out there to begin with.

[Scotty]

Maybe if you rounded off the nose a couple meters back, it wouldn't look so much like the Viper.  Personally, having not seen the falcon, it looks kind of like a dragon from FS2

If I wasn't expecting peoples opinions, what would be the point of posting it in the first place?

It's very pretty, however it doesn't fit FreeSpace universe.

[Dilmah G]

It's very pretty, however it doesn't fit FreeSpace universe.

Unfortunately I have to agree, but I'm pretty sure someone'll find a use for it 

[Mad Bomber]

All this from me randomly deciding to turn the Falcon into a ship from Escape Velocity...

I'll say what I said on AIM, which is "awesome".

[shiv]

Well, make your cutsom mod for Diaspora(when released)/BtRL and include this as non-canon ship

Well I don't usually refer to just one little ship as a "custom mod" But really, I don't care what it's used for. I think it would fit will with FS or a BSG Mod, imo.

It'll probably never get released anyway, because i'm terrible at UV mapping.

I agree.

Since when does any ship not "Fit" in Freespace2? If we limit ourselves to what's cannon, what's the point in doing future mods and so based on this game? Just because it resembles something else in a different genre does not disqualify this design. If you still feel so, then your limiting yourself and your ideas in my opinion.  I think he's done a good job and should continue on! 
Lastly, if you don't like it, that's still OK. Just don't use it for whatever your doing.

As for UV mapping, I'm pretty sure someone will step up and do this for you. Or at least give you help in what troubles you may have. Don't give up and stand your ground on your ideas if you feel good about them, take suggestions with good intentions, but don't incorporate anything unless you feel it's a good fit and idea.
