When I design ships, I fully flesh out their components (at least the main ones) as well as where they came from, what they do, how well they do it, etc.

[Bishop Gantry]

Well first you need a male Sathana and a female Sathana... after a while you have small mini Sathanans circling around blowing up starsystems...

[Grey Wolf]

BTW, the comment about "Make it three times longer" was referring to the length of the ship. It was not intended to be juvenile.

Try and keep the penis jokes to a null thanks, it's never been funny

in case you didnt' notice, those ships are MAPPED .
what did I keep repeating all along this thread? bah, go play back in your sandbox

No need to get all pmt on me i was just backing your statment up, with some evidence. doh...

[Raven2001]

There! that pic said it all!!!

About the purpose... Yes, it has a purpose. because it HEAVILY improves maneuverability (sp?), because the maneuvering (roll to be more precise9) thrusters are in the strut... if you know physics lever (I think that's the one...) law, you know that the thrusters put in that location make it roll faster than being put in the main body... (I hope that you understand what I'm saying, but its logical and true), and I want to give the sol dominion ships a new type of piloting, to make them original, so with these ships, instead of turning, you make most of the maneuvers roling and pitching like in a fighter airplain

I agree that from that pic the strut looks like it is hold only by a little piece, but that's just because the (minigun-type blasters are positioned right in front of it, and you can't see the connecttion very well from this angle

That's it, you may continue

I said I misread. anyway, I apologize again.

[TrashMan]

Cool!;7

And I just LOVE the F-14 Tomcat!

[an0n]

Haha. It really does look like it's hung like a Grand National champion race-horse. You could put a huge beam on the end that fires a white beam out......or not! That'd be funnier. A beam charge, then nothing, then a beam power-down.

Hmmmm. Is it getting warm in here?


Make it get smaller as apposed to larger at the end (the whole thing, not just the...er...head). And for God sake, don't use anything remotely pink for the textures .

Those look really good.  I assume that the Njord's strut is an engine mount, in which case it physically wouldn't work, but it still looks pretty cool.  As for that apollo rework, I WANT IT!!!

Yes, it is an engine mount

[Grey Wolf]

Well, considering you said its an engine strut....
[list=1]

• Make the strut shorter.
• Make the Engine part longer on the Z-axis and move it back a bit.
• Lengthen the primary body of the ship.

OC, these are only my opinions.

[Raven2001]

I'm tottaly friendly to suggestions, but on this one, I won't change anything... because this one's out of the drawing boards... and I like it the way iot is, and you will too when it is textured, believe me, I've got a good idea for it...

But you can count that I will listen to your opinions of tweaking on my other models, if those don't mean taking out or shorten a certain STRUT!!! But if you've got nice ideas for remodelliung the struts, I'll consider them

[Grey Wolf]

I'd suggest at least making your struts have a thinner X-axis. Maybe lengthen the Z-axis on them even...

[gevatter Lars]

I think you should let the model untuched. It is good as it is now.
And when you know thing "Why he is (nearly) the only one liking the ship" read my sign.

BTW I can wait to see that Destroyer... the pic looks ...wow... I want to draw like that... beside many other things I want...

Heheh, time to break out the HLP Hammer of maturity?


BTW I'm very impressed by the ship design and the maps, realistic is good, yes, but without a little imagination it all gets a little dry.

[Raven2001]

Grey Wolf: I'll try to do that in the new Tolkien (name to be changed...), and see if it looks good

Gevatter Lars: thanks BTW, don't I know you??? Weren't you a modeler in the Lancers Reactor Community???

[gevatter Lars]

Bingo...
Yes I was a long time ago in the Lancers Reactor, but since the mission editor never comes out I changed to FS2.
And didn't you still have one of my models for texturing?

I think it's meant for maneuverability, so it would work, based on the principles of torque. But it's still to phallic. Maybe if it sloped back at the end and/or narrowed to a point instead of growing at the end?
