Yup


I plan to actually give this ship anti fighter weapons  . That's right. The once no AA giant Heavy Cruiser will now possess the ability to swat fighters out of the sky. Granted there won't be AABeams or flak! The thing will rely on rapid firing pulse cannons. Call it preference really. When I do release you can change it to flak and beams yourself.

This shot makes it look like the bastard love child of an X-Wing and a Qwaar-Jet. And that's a good thing.

yeah, now that you mention it, there's definitively a heavy cruiser feel about it

I had a GIGANTIC migraine yesterday for 7 hours so I got pretty much nothing done yesterday. Sorry bout that folks, but hey at least my skull isn't split from the pain anymore  .

Its classed as a 'Heavy Cruiser' for a reason. Partly as a nod to Homeworld but also in terms of my size classifications:

Frigate
Destroyer
Cruiser
Heavy Cruiser
Battleship/Carrier (Non-existent in the Homeworld Empire)

The HWE usually increases size classes on a multiple of 2. Frigate is 750m, Destroyer is 1.5km, Cruiser is 3km, HC is 6km.

A bit of a disclaimer... truth be told I got the name 'Homeworld Empire' by one day walking into a store and seeing the game 'Homeworld' and I thought "Awesome name" so I used it as a faction name for my original universe. Just to clear things up, HWE is NOT related to the Hiigarans... but related in title only XD. Its... complicated in the lore.

[Vengence]

Ehhh yeah I could use some help on the engine pod meshes. Anyone care to help?

[Droid803]

Maybe something like the ones on the Typhoon/Hurricane6?
Donno how well they'd fit.

[Vengence]

Well there are two snitches there and its me being stubborn with the lore XD. The Hurricane 5 is realy really old while the Typhoon is relatively new. Going off of them specifically would be a bit clashing.

[Vengence]

What you think.

[Droid803]

They look kinda like the old ones.

[Vengence]

^{[In a Russian Accent]} Iz dat guud or bad?

[Droid803]

It's alright.
The thing the bugged me most about the old one was the connecting struts, really, the pods themselves are fine.

[Vengence]

I'm not really sure how to do the struts either. Do I make them like the new ones which can articulate? Or make them rigid, like say an Aurora Starfury?

[Droid803]

Even if they don't articulate, making it look like they can is a cool touch

[headdie]

Personally I would be tempted to have them curve inwards and mirror the ridge detail on the side of the engines kind of like the crude attachment but not a severe

[Droid803]

For the engine pods?
I like the fact that they're straight.
They definitely shouldn't be pinched in the middle (though I'd be fine with them having a pointy tip at the front)

[Vengence]

Slight combination. I always like slants and tapers.

[Droid803]

Ok, that looks great.

[General Battuta]

That is fantastic.

[MetalDestroyer]

Awesome ! Can't wait to see it textured.

[PsychoLandlord]

Damn, Vengence.

[Vengence]

It probably won't look so good up close and personal being as huge as it is. Last things to do is the control deck and the shuttle bay... OH! AA. TIme to do the AA first before I forget.
