Greetings I am Darkevilme, an average Blender artist novice texture artist considering contributing a bit of my hobby time to Vegastrike. Most of my work can be found here bbs.stardestroyer.net/viewtopic.php?t=117063
Scroll down a bit as my work improved over the course of that thread.
As for art I have produced this as a concept doodle in blender for a Vegastrike cruiser of some description.
Perhaps it fits in, at any rate i couldnt find much concept art or style guides or even a colour palette for the various races(cept the Rlan) to help me tell if this sorta appearance is suitable.
Newcomer blender artist with a spaceblimp.

Welcome darkevilme there are some art style guidelines in the wiki also the concept descriptions for each individual ship can be useful.If you have any specific questions just ask

The art style guidelines are for the most part empty. I'll admit i havent played vegastrike for very long but is it true that currently the Uln, who attack me for nebulous reasons with varying results and civilian craft, have no actual native combat craft of their own yet?
If so as much as i'm loathe to make life harder for myself in the game could someone fill me in on the Uln colour palette and style?

i think he meant, forsaken tanker. As in, a big fueling tanker for cruisers. Since technically, big ships that may still have chemical thrusters, can't dock to refuel. Think maybe BSG in how how they have fuel creating tanker ships that have to be available to the fleet to continue to supply consumable fuels.
edit: I think it would also be cool looking to put maybe 2 bands around the tanker portion. Like how a barrel has a metal band on the top and bottom. They would act as reinforced mounts for turrets to protect the tanker on all sides.

Yes Forsaken is mixed old-school style (isn't injury) and new because they can't find all ship in "space garbage " wink:
for your gun displacement problem i have solution create your ship like you want but show the VS ship : most of them is "unvisible gun" i already thought is better like than you can put what you want in your CVS file
but for cruiser you can show off some realy principal gun (spinal maybe)
and displaying some turret around or little black mark on your diffuse map could be a missile hatch
is just my point of view
