~500-550 polys. 15% - 20% longer than the Hathse... however you spell that vas destroyer.

The bottom needs a little more work perhaps.

Anyway, you know the drill... ;)

very nice, only part that i don't like is the "nose", i think that with this "mesh style" a develop from front to rear would be better, i mean: large parts on front that become thin in the rear, i can't explain better what i have in mind, sorry:)

I like it. Very strange in shape with bits that seem to serve no purpose. Yep. It's definately a vasudan ship :)

Yeah, I think the big "fish tail" thing needs to go to the rear. It doesn't look good in the front.

Otherwise, this mod has potential. :nod:

EDIT: I just had an idea; instead of moving the fish tail to the rear, keep it where it is and just rotate it so that it is horizontal rather than vertical. That would make it look much better. :)

Thanks for the comments. :)

Actually, I'm quite happy with the overall design. I think I will make the front bit somewhat thicker, though.

More comments! :)

Looks like the Even Horizon crossed with the aliens from Pitch Black. Would make a very cool evil ship that's to serve some nefarious purpose.

Sorta looks like a Vasudan Iceni.

:D Hey it does!!

This is a cool design! It's about time I said that about a user made Vasudan vessel.

The Repten is cool too, but it looks more like a pre-GreatWar vessel.

I like it the way it is. Well... add textures of course, but the design is great.

I would just say chop off either the top or bottom split bit, then i think it would look just about perfect.

I've been thinking the same thing. I couldn't think of anything good to put down there. I will have to experiment some more.

So this is what Vasudan Attack Fishies look like...

I have a question: where's the bridge? If it's located at the top of the rear of the ship, every time they try to look front, the fishtail will be in the way.

Captain: (translated from Vasudan) All ahead full!

Helmsman: (translated from Vasudan) But sir, the big fish tail thingie is in my line of sight! The only thing I can see in front of us is our tail!

Captain: I gave you a direct order! All ahead full!

Helmsman: Aye aye, sir...

*One minute later the Vasudan destroyer inadvertently rams a ravana in the side.*

Helmsman: Um... oops.

*Big explosion ensues, leaving only, of course, the fish tail piece as debris.*

EDIT: I know I already said this (perhaps I deserve to get flamed for mentioning it twice), but I wouldn't mind seeing the fish tail made horizontal.

Sensors ;)

Edit: Would a Destroyer's bridge have viewports? Seems bad in a beam fight.
