Try sweeping all of your Engine Pylons back instead of forward, and don't taper the pylon as much, at the narrowest i would have the pylons at the width they are at about halfway to the engine, but keep the same width at the fuselage, and the length.
You can't take the sky from me.  Can't take that from me.

They are back, aren't they?:confused:

If it's the configuration I'm thinking of, very cool.

OK, my critique: too many polies in the engines, not enough on the hull.  Also, it looks like a bunch of primatives all glued/unioned together.  I agree with ShadowWolf about the taper - at least widen the ends so that the engines aren't attached to a single point on the pylons.  Otherwise, neat design :)

I find it most annoying that someone running WinME and AIM has a copy of TS5.1 and I don't.

I think that's XP running with the '98 visual scheme.  The ME start button doesn't look like that :rolleyes:

AIM != AOL...  ICQ seems to have problems w/ the firewalls at work, so we all use AIM and our brains haven't started to degrade yet (well, actually they have, but not from AIM *hic* )

Anyhow, a nice start, n00b.  My first model looked like a constipated cigar impaled on a 2 x 4.  It was also my last model, as I realized I don't have an artistic bone in my body :blah:

poor penguin...

my first model looked really weird and had some funny problems...for example, when you tried to target it, it had speeds upward of speed of light, and the little targeting box was going everywhere on screen, and when you killed it it crashed freespace...

erm...if the front of that ship is to the right...then you have it backwards...

I just realized that the front was the right side of the screen...

for the front to be the front in game, you have to make the front face 'left' from the default view in TS

Hehe.



Ahhhhh....yes. The famous dildo :D

BTW, n00b-boy. Don't use TS1. Get either Milkshape 3D, or another advanced editor. MS3D is excellent, contrary to what some people will tell you, but you really have to work with it to uncover everything it can do. And it's only 20 dollars, which is such a bargain, it's insane.

lol, i should have told you guys...  the LEFT is the front of the model.  and ive been doing some more work with it, and ive discovered the SWEEP BUTTON!!  ive changed the pylons so they are quite a bit wider at the end, but not the full length... and not so many polys.  see, i made this model before i had the sweep button.  the bow isnt great, i know, i just made it really as a stand-in so i could see what ratios i needed for wings:bow and engines:wing etc.   the finished version will have three large claw things curving over the prow to a central point.  similar claws will be placed on the tips of the wings, on the central rear section, and about halfway up the bow from the control area-nine in all.  all will face toward the prow.  i will have to do some .tbl editing and some major sexping, but the idea is this: all the claws are 'first stage emitters' which will fire beams toward the prow.  they will converge, and seem to form a massive cannon, which in reality will be a totally different weapon in the tables.  anyway, the effect should be something like 'excalibur' in b5.  its gonna be sweet!!!  btw, thanx for the comments everyone, i can use any and all help...


edit:  XP with win98 style... the XP style is really... kinda... ::insert minority-offensive word here::
