Just wanted to garner a few opinions on one of my projects on the side (alongside the Wyvern   ); http://uk.geocities.com/aldo_futbol/ancient.html

I'm considering changes to the model, so any opinions are welcomed.

How big is that fighter? It looks quite large for me...

I haven't scaled it down atall - and it's a TS1 render with a cut and paste backdrop from an FS2 screenshot.  I'll scale it down by a factor of 10, methinks.

Equal to a ulysses?, kato has that roll, I think you should make it a heavy fighter, like the equivilent to the Herc II, the ancients are in need of that

It's not really the right 'shape' for a heavy fighter though - my intention was to make it a 'swarm' fighter, and arm it with one secondary bank and a single, powerful, beam cannon modified from the targeting laser

[Martinus]

Very nice work, I like the design especially, the only thing I'd advise is that you work on the central area, if it's the cockpit it should have an interesting texture.

Hey, that reminds me of the cloak generator from Homeworld. Pretty cool fighter though. Actually that should be a bomber, not a fighter. We already have the Kato as the fighter.

I doubt I'll ever finish it, anyway

Don't worry I have that covered  

[Unidan]

If you won't finish it, just send it to someone who wants to finish it.

Started re-making the blender model to make it look better  

Not sure how to reduce the polycount in Truspace without having to remodel the Belnder file - even if i can't glue together the LODs and make the ship myself, at least I can create an scn / cob file for someone else to use.

[Setekh]

The fighter is looking great! Don't give up!  

[aldo_14]

Anyone know a good way to reduce the poly count?  Cos it's currently at 345, and I've barely added any detail to the front.  I'll post the latest piccies when I've done my new website
