Re: Am I even on the right track - ship design
 

That's what I was going to add...the front looks too much like a 2D triangle. I think it needs a bit more "3D" to it and, perhaps, break up the 2 straight lines that form that triangular look. The rest looks fine, though! Good first effort!

For the most part, it looks just dandy!

The triangle part in the front makes it look like a weapon itself. If that's what you're going for, nifty, but I think it takes away from the "ship" idea.

I am re-working it now... I finished one alternative Last night and hope to work on another alternative tonight... I will see which I like best and post them for comment here.

Select that triangle from the side-view and drag the vertical blue box upward. That will "fatten" it on the z-axis. Then you'd have a surface on the front where you could insert a gazzillion forward cannons!

Weeeeeeeeeeeee! Doga is fun!

Came up with two variants and going to post them.. then I think I am going to learn how to texture stuff before I put these back up. I like the first one the best. What do you think?

this is the second Version.

Quite an improvement, Rasorow. Removing the dark grey from the center really makes the "bridge" look like it is not hanging in space. Although that would be neat too.
