Worldships are typically supposed to be more or less round, as they are mostly used for things like Death Stars, Battlemoons, and other giant spherical planet-like ships.

More nice pictures!

Maybe the hole in the front is for scooping up dropped components and cargo in Starfury... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

I don't have any imagination problems with square recesses in front, or with non-round world ships.

Er, and actually, that world ship picture below looks relatively rounded to me already.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Because then they are not deathstars... the whole concept of the world ship is a ship that looks like a world. Big, spherical. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif Not just rounded... but spherical.

Yummy

Nice looking ships there, but I got some comments on the world ship http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

I like the fact its not beeing round (or spherical http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ), but looking like its been carved out of an astroide.
But it looks: Tiny http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

The bridge on top makes it look the size of a Caribian Cruiseship. Big enough for a week of holiday, but hardly something to be the scourge of the galaxy http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

The Death Star World Ship. And I tried to make it round, but the program has limits. I will include it with the set, but I do not like it.

How does this look compared to the older Version?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I never said it should look exactly like the Death Star... just more like a world than a big ship. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif And, I will have to second primitive's statement that your other worldship doesn't look very big... make it look a bit rounder and more like a massive ship (like not having a singular gigantic bridge sticking out on top or just two big guns/engines or whatever those things on the side are).

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Better to me. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Are these ships asymmetric http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif or is it just a trick of the angle http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif ?

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I do not understand your question. The angles might be effecting the intended appearance of the ships but again that is a limitation of the program used to create them

How is this one? Does it look bigger?

primitive November 18th, 2003 03:06 AM

Re: I Finally Did It
 
Much Better, but I think the "building" on top still could be smaller. Maybe it also could be worth a try to move the camera a bit down. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Fyron November 18th, 2003 03:27 AM

Re: I Finally Did It
 
It looks like a 4 story building on top of the asteroid... if it were 4 stories on a world ship, it would be a mere dot with that sized image. Think small moon. Maybe it could look like a small city on top of that thing?
