Patience(sp?)

It was going to resemble an Orion to begin with, but it didn't turn out that way.
Right now it is about the size of an Orion (lenght wise).
Should I make it bigger?

no

The fact that Segomo and Rosmerta were described as sister-classes, for me (somehow), translated into the same basic hull design with variations for their respective role.


Perhaps I'm wrong?

well, they're not really similar atall..... just the same rough tech level, and intended to complement each other





Anyway, it's a nice ship, but I think it needs abit of variation in the shape and the surfaces...even just a few recessed areas, create a bit of contrast.

Depnds what the polycount is, though, and you also have scope for big turrets, or destroyable subsystems on the flat ares (depending on ship size & relative scale)

Polycounts at 230

Plebnty of room them .  If you don't want to alter the basic structure, then just add more fine, inset details.

Or you could stick at your current polycount and add a lot of destroyable deck objects, like radar dishes, storage pods, turrets(obviously), or even large areas of geometry, like a bridge tower

I'll play around with it and see what happens.

Here's an idea.....

coat the surface (where appropriate) with low-poly models, even plain boxes, with very low hitpoints.  That way, you can strafe them, and wath them blow to bits with every run

Of course, you have to take into account the unfeasible number of subsystems required - that would all be targetable.... :devilidea:

Looks like a carrier to me.

[Galemp]

Reminds me of the PVFr Satis. I like it.

[Reaper]

Hehe, it looks like a frigate 2 me . BTW the textured looks like carrier for me

It isn't textured. I did apply a map so it would look better, that's all.

[Ryx]

OK, played with it and it didn't turn out to bad. I'm still not happy with it, but generally ok.





hmmm.... yes.

[Zeronet]

You could give it a hanger that you can land inside.

[Ryx]

Just in case the hangars aren't visible enough.

[Zeronet]

It has my STAMP of approval

[Bobboau]

I was thinking it looked more like a freighter to me

hmm.
No Here's a freighter, though. Need to redesign the cargo/container thing.

[Zeronet]

Thats big.

[Nico]

yeah, i would make it much smaller I think, as broad as the orion, rather than as long.

It's too flat for a destroyer, methinks. The detail is just right for a good, largish cruiser.
