Re: New Ship
 

LOL sorry - had attached the wrong file and was correcting it when you posted

Re: New Ship
 

Very cool. I like the glows http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif It could use some guns however, gunless ships aren't very good in combat.

Re: New Ship
 

In order to avoid ruining the smooth sleek lines of the ship the guns are hidden in seamless ports. That way they can do a pufferfish type suprise on their enemies. Either that or they use phaser arrays or the like. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Re: New Ship
 

Ignore him it doesn't need to be covered with guns to be cool. Looks good http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Re: New Ship
 

Meh, visible gun holes are still cooler. I also think that that ship is a little glossy. Might want to tone that down a bit.

Re: New Ship
 

Pretty good cartoony style.

Re: New Ship
 

I think the engines would look better if there were just a solid or glowing red.

Re: New Ship
 

It looks to me more like a pleasure cruiser than a fighting vessel.

Makes me think of a Federation type Norwegian Cruise ship. I want to go to Risa.

Re: New Ship
 

Transport ship maybe, I wouldn't rely on that style of ship as a combat craft, too many windows and not intimidating looking enough imho. Then again I'm the guy that makes ships bristling with gun turrets and heavy armored looking hulls so I might not be the best judge on this.

Re: New Ship
 

Nice ship, looks sleek and fast. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Re: New Ship
 

Yeah - Fast Transport was the goal with this ship.... not combat vessel., I'll try add engine glow and post again

Re: New Ship
 

Not real happy with the engine glows... but here is a pass at them...

Re: New Ship
 

I thought the thingies at the side were the engines?

Re: New Ship
 

no, not actually how I planned it - generators... the marble blue and red is supposed to be energy generation but obivously since I had to explain I didnt do a good job with the design.... back to drawing board.

Looks like a yacht with warp nacelles. Small, sleek, fast. But not generally something you'd want to go to war with.

Re: New Ship
 

Looks like a small pleasure yacht. I'd like to own one of these babies.

Re: New Ship
 

It reminds me of Talon Karrde's ship.

Re: New Ship
 

I am working on a re-design..... though it wasnt meant to be a combat vessel.... meant to be a small fast transport, but I didn't like the way the generator glows or engine glows came out and obviously it was confusing as to what was what... I will post the updated design sometime Thursday or Friday. Thanks everyone for the feedback.

The yellow around the windows was a little strong, too, but the use of glow is a good idea.
