Hm, nice - but if you want to make a hi-poly model, try to follow more closely the original one...

...the hell is that? An oversimplified Orion flipped upsidedown and then changed a bit?

It looks interesting...:doubt::yes:
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Ummmm...... No. An Orion with smoothing and bump mapping looks a lot better.

I could've yesterday, but I can't anymore... there might be more sites about it, but at least the article, which is the only one I know about that, isn't there anymore.
 
Maybe it will be up again tomorrow. Actually I'm pretty sure it is, and there will be more articles about it (yeah, Matrox's Parhelia getting released, and it has displacement mapping).

Ummm... for as much as I wanted to follow the original design, I really didn't fancy that idea much. I would be coping,  too easy.  
The original design is a box with some textures. nothing too hard.
This one has a lot more real dettails and I have not finished with it yet, by all meens. 10,000 poli  so far. the textures are made in 15 mins. and those are nothing more but test renders.

It's also rather difficult to model  just from my memory and even when checked I found  several disigns of an ORION class destroyer, all different and poor in quality from the game itself.

Since that above is the actual shape of ONE of the three Orion Class destroyer in FS2  (There are 3 different types. I bet no one knew that)
 I deceided that I will add a shuttle, since a launch bay was originally constructed. in the front.
  You can see the railing where it would obviusly launch from and the main escape hatch.
The front  is again as per original Orion design but I added the 3 windows giving it the EVENT HORIZON look of the front cabin.

I figured; if Volition can have 3 different version of that capital ship in the game, surely I can make a slight modified version myself.
No weappons yet.

Uhh, the three different types are simply nameplate changes.

And if you're going to make a high poly, that's good, but at least start with a base orion model and work from there.....

Detail doesn't make up for excessive fundamental simplicity. Take a look at my Kirov, if ya want- the thing probably has a fraction of the polys that does, but it looks infinitely more detailed. simply because it started out a complex design, instead of having a simple body and lots of detail... (and I screwed up on that, too, around the midsection- it shows)
Webpage. Yes.

wow, for 10000 polys, im really surprised: very little overall shape (as Stryke said, too oversimplified), decidedly less than the original orion.  Like Shrike said, the 3 different versions, capital01a, capital01b, and capital01c are identical in every way except the name plates.  A is the Galatea, B is the Bastion, and C is the one used as a common orion.  I still like the original much better.

No offense, but bull****, if you're going to have the audacity to call it a high-poly Orion, it needs to be one.

Now if you said it's your own ship "based on" the Orion, that's alright.

besides, the original is anything but a box with textures, if you ever look at the thing, its very well done as far as sections and transitions go.  that 10000 poly model is close to a box with textures than the original Orion.
