Opinions Sought and Needed (New Ship Set)
 

I wanted to make my own unique ship set basically from scratch. It is difficult, but fun. Here are some of the ships I am nearing completion on.

They still need some work, so your opinions do matter. Tell me which style you would prefer? The open wing or the battleship.

Hello Atrocities :-) Here are my comments (Starting with the first ship)[list][*]Very good for a medium craft. But i thik the wings seem too fragile to support these big cannons.[*]The best ship. Really good. Seems though and technologist. I like it vey much.[*]Very original, but i think that the hexagonal shape makes the ship vulnerable to side attacks. Better design for transports IMO[*]Same as above[*]I don't like this design. Rare proportion size/cannons. The shape of the ship seems appropiate for a huge one, with much smaller weapons.

In general, i think it some kind of symbol painted in the ships will make them seem better. But i like this first ships. I think you can do an excellent new shipset. What about the race?

Very nice work! I like all of them except the Last (which looks too much like a sea-going battleship instead of a space vehicle). The 1st, 3rd, and 4th are especially nice and are very distinct in the smaller, overhead view.

Re: Opinions Sought and Needed (New Ship Set)
 

I really like them. Doga right? They all look nice, especially the Last one. I kinda like the fell of boats in space.

uh oh looks like we got another doga user http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif ships look great. Only thing I would say is that if they are all part of one fleet then make the transition between ships look better. I realize this isn't all the ships and there probably not in any order, but jusy keep that in mind when you render up the next batch http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Re: Opinions Sought and Needed (New Ship Set)
 

The set looks really good. I particularly liked ship #2.

It looks like the images of 4 & 5 should be swapped to better match the overhead views though.

6 Looks like a carrier of some sort and kind of reminds me of the old 'Starblazers' cartoon.

Re: Opinions Sought and Needed (New Ship Set)
 

very good. since 4 is a larger 3, it should probably fill up more of the window. i like them all though, the red stripe at the base of 5 is what contributes most to that 'naval boat' sort of look.

Nice Atrocities, very nice. Try and get them done by December 15th so that we can include them on the Gold CD. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

Thank you all very much for your insights.

I must say that the DOGA program is very helpful, and I enjoy using it very much.

I will try to have the set done by Dec 15th so it too, if possible, can be included in the new burn.

Thank you all very much.

Val & Puke, thanks for the tip on size placement. Shyrka thank you for the indepth feed back. This helps me focus my attention on a more direct design type.

More to come soon.
