While I put all of my blender efforts in uvmapping [and even tilemapping o___O], smoothing, making debris, LODs etc I forgot about one basic fact - Blender is written to model things.
...so yeah. I've made a few models, but they were abominations at all. In fact my first ship - Hecate-like frigate was named GTFg Abomination. Nvm, screw that. Few abominations later I finally model something that isn't as ugly as previous things [yeah, things. I will never call them "models"].

So... Using only the most primitive of Blender tools:

TFg Vengeance - Zagreus inspired 1,2km pocket destroyer/heavy frigate. Properly armored, armed with only 3 railguns but a lot of anti-air weapons, it's going to be somekind of Guardian Angel for old, outdated Orion and Zagreus destroyers in modern Solar fleet, and also a logistics suport. I will dress her in Fenris/Leviathan-like textures and bake them all into single, grateful texture when I finish detailing. I need some idea for freakin' big spinal cannon.

Ideas? Throughts?

[An4ximandros]

Oh, shiny! Looks almost like a Supercarrier of sorts. Veeery neat.

On the ideas, you could probably detail the front section by making a sort of hollow "V" shape and filling it with greebles.

[Nyctaeus]

This thing has 3 hangarbays so it's not problem to assign it to the tasks of carrier . And of course, front will be fully detailed with pipes, greebles and other stuff around massive cannon. A lot of places will be filled with stuff this way.

[Mito [PL]]

Yes. Making the front a bit more spear-like, eventually widening the back part (engines?), producing a barell for that big gun, projecting of the front hull, eventually doing a fighterbay door somewhere between the front and middle part. It has 3 already? I don't see them .

[Dragon]

Looks more like a factory ship to me. TBH, we could probably use one more than another frigate/carrier. Anyway, an interesting model.

what Dragon said
nice design!

[whitearrow]

Very interesting model, Betrayal!

and antennas, a lot of antennas! I'm a big fun of antennas!

Well... Will be done :]. This one will be in development stage till I and the community will be satisfied.

[Black Wolf]

I'd love to see it adapted into a factory ship, especially a nice primitive one! But the model seems solid, for a WiP. Keep going.

Update . The Vengeance has a face and a detailbox. Stuff like this will be everywhere.

[whitearrow]

Yeah man! Good job, that's what I meant! I think that you can engrave that antennas' slot a bit more... anyway it's just matter of individual taste.

Wait a second! what are those 2 coffins on the upper section of the front side??  Just jokin'! keep on going like this!

[Hellstryker]

The detail is way too repetitive and honestly boring, but the general shape is no problem. I'd suggest looking at some more recent and iconic designs for detail inspiration rather than just making one bit of detail and copy pasting it around.

[headdie]

hur?

could you explain that one please?  You make it sound like the same detailing idea is used all over the ship.


one thing I have noticed is that some detail is lost to smoothing

This part will be actually redone, and not because it's not smoothed properly [it is] but because it looks like crap. As for the similarity of the details, only hull plating and a few other things are included in base model. All pipes, greebles etc. will be added as a detail boxes, and only front one is ready now.


EDIT: Updated again.
