The WC3 and WC4 designs are horrible compared to the WC1/2 designs. They look like flying bricks, and the dev team didn't even try to make the most of their limited polygon budget.

I assumed the red and white job was an ISS paint scheme and made it green for a Confed fleet paint job.


Will probably get removed from the ship list when/if I get an Exeter.
Cool ship.  Freespace?  Could pass for being from the Leviathan/Fenris family.

Judging from the discussion, I'd guess it's a Wing Commander ship.

What's non-serious about it? WC1/2 ships have a lot more curves and surface features than WC3/4 ships. At least the fighters do anyway; some of the capships...not so much.

The only likeable fighter from all the post-WC2 games for me is the Excalibur.

If it's WC1 or 2...
Rapier IIG (WC2)
Raptor
Ferret
Epee
Sabre
Morningstar
Crossbow

...I think I've made my point.

The WC3 ships look like they are actually made for space combat. Instead of Wings, Wings everywhere! and those ugly long thin external cannons
For me, the WC3-4 ships have far more personality and are far better looking but to each his own I guess  :sigh:

It's a bit ironic, considered that WC3 introduced atmospheric combat...
Previous designs look like they could fly in atmo, WC3 ones don't (except the Hellcat, but you don't fly atmospheric missions in it).
WC4 is better about it, Bearcat and Dragon look like they could fly, Vindicator and Avenger look like they could, but barely, only Banshee doesn't look atmospheric at all.
WCP has more aerodynamic designs (except Wasp and Devastator, most of it's fighters would fly in atmo), but it lacked atmospheric missions.
It may have to do with available technology, boxy designs and non aerodynamic ships take less polygons to make, which was really important at that time (remember, we're talking about the very beggining of 3D technology here).

But the wings are what give WC1/2 ships personality. WC3/4 ships look like the retarded, deformed ancestors of FS ships.

Do you want me to give a serious reply to such a 'well formulated opinion'?  :doubt:

Re: Wing commander stuff
Look at the Longbow and tell me that's a good looking ship. Seriously. It's the absolute ugliest fighter ever to appear in a commercial space sim, bar none.

I like the longbow.
Haters gonna hate.

But eh, its not like I care much about your opinion.  :blah:
I mean, all you say is "Hurr, its ugly" "Durr its blocky" "Hurr durr my opinion is fact"  :sigh: This doesn't even resemble a discussion in the slightest.

Re: Wing commander stuff
WC3/4 Longbow looks rather blocky, but if it had better detail (impossible at it's time), it could look much better.
WCS will most likely have a good Longbow model.

Only its 1. Not an 'Ajax class destroyer' because such a thing doen't exist. The Ajax in WC3 was a Tallahassee class cruiser
2. Its a Southampton class destroyer from what I can tell.

Do you have any excuse for your fail Dekker?
