(2.7 km 19-25 turrets, Orion successor)

I (sort of) have 2 models - one with big-***  F.E.P. Cannons, and one without, and I can't decide which to use....

With (1900 poly)
 
 

Without
(NB:  Will add additional  turrets on top - 2 parters - if i use this design)

Dude! that's a cool ship. I would say without the big guns, but with barrelled turrets instead.

[Raven2001]

Without the guns... yeah,much better that way  

And an engine in the front section would look cool too

Id like to see some of the 3 bariled turrets off the GTD Orion.

Awesome design!   If you ask me, I personally don't like the FEP cannons very much. To engines in underslung pods would be really cool. For another personal opinion, I don't like 3 barreled turrets much... I think it makes the ship look antiquianted. But do please the public

I think it looks better with. Otherwise, theres just empty space there... Both are great A-1  

[morris13]

Definately without, although if you decide you really want the big cannon mounts I can show you a different way of modeling those that I think will suit your model much much better, and take fewer polys to boot.

Looks like a creature, turtle or something, that is missing its legs... Or maybe it's that spacecrack again... hmmm..

I hope not - just to clarify, the main hull is 806 polys.  The 4 big turrets are seperate sub-objects of about 140 polys each, and there are around 15 smaller recessed beam type turrets.

FS2 has a 8000 poly limit did you know that I think not.

I'd like it with. You put in all that extra work, and you might as well..!

On the other hand, however, it is not in the Terran tradition to have all weaponry facing in one direction (it's more a Shivan trend - check out the Sathanas and Ravana).

[Taristin]

Terran tradition will put the most effective weapons on the opposite side of the vessel.

Yeah, but they mgiht have learnt from the shivans... oh wait, this is the GTVA, so probably not  

[Slanker]

Anti-cap weapons on the front are good for hit&run attacks, but the shivans never really noticed that  

[Rampage]

I mistakened "Ogre" as "Orgy"   (Lord Jesus, please forgive me!)

And by the way, NICE model!  But I think that the name is inapporpriate.  "Ogre" sounds more of a Shivan ship.  Name it something like the "GTD Eros".

I have a naming precedent for all the ships in this 'series' (i.e. the campaigns' future setting), such as the GTCa Warlock, the SOCv Wyvern, and the GTWc Gryphon.

You know, I've wondered about that...

I know multi-player pilots named Warlock, Gryphon, and Wyvern but can't say I ever ran across one named Ogre (or Orgy)  

As far as the model, I like it _with_ the guns, if you create a new beam for them.  Say an anti-cap ship beam that has a very long range (hence the reason for the extended barrels, needed to properly collimate the beams for the super extended range   )
