I think all it needs is to be smoothed out a bit, and don't pout mroe than like the number of turrets you see on the Iseni and the Demos. I don't like ships like that, makes the game unballinced

It's got about 30 turrets at the moment (5 more than the Deimos) but almost all the extras will be laser turrets anyway so it won`t make a huge difference to the balance.
 The Styx is meant to be slighly more powerful than the deimos (it is 7-8 years newer) but I`ll be very careful about play balance since I don`t particularly like super powerful ships

[Bishop Gantry]

I didnt say it would be as powerful as to wape sathanas but powerful enought to plaster Cains and such if they are close to eachother fairly easy

Is it just me or does it look like the Taiidan HC from HomeWorld?

[karajorma]

Never played Homeworld enough to know. I had a look but I could only find tiny little pics of the HC. Anyone got a picture big enough to compare?
 I`ve had a practice adding some big turrets to the side projections but I didn`t much like the look so I think I`ll stick to little ones.

I think something needs to be done with the lights area around the nose.  The way the lights step in all the way around creates a lot of razor-sharp edges that could be problematic, as well as not looking as polished as other models.  The overall design is good (I like the rear bit, the detail is simple yet very effective), so it doesn't need much.

If you look at Thorn's gallery you should find some.

You can definately see a ressemblance.  I think the Deimos looks better though.  And teal beams nice:D

A corvette named Styx?

i like it a lot but
1. the texture repetition gives an impresion of a ship little bigger than a corvette (maybe its only my opinion, bah, don't care:))
2.some uvmaps seems wrong (engines area, the diagonal borders, but image is very dark so i may be wrong)
3.windows!!!!where are windows????

[karajorma]

What can I say. I`m a sucker for the greek classics

1) Odd that. Quite a few people have suggested that but when I first posted I thought everyone was going to say the exact opposite and say it looked more like a cruiser.

2) Yep the 4 polys surrounding each of the engines still needs some work. Truespace kept crashing on me when I tryed to re-map them. I was just hoping no one would notice for the moment

3) I`m not putting windows on it. Microsoft was destroyed in a populist rebellion in 2020 Seriously though an obvious bridge area is a good target. At best you'd paint windows on the thickest part of the hull
