WIP Medium Fighter

Post by Oblivion »

I don't know what faction yet.
It's not even textured yet.
But I got a burning question...

WHEN DO I MOUNT THE GUNS? and how?

Are the mounted like turrets, using target vertices?

Need feedback ASAP. :D

Here are previews:

That's a pretty wicked design, maybe it could be used as an interceptor or a bomber? I'm not too keen on the early texture, dunno if that's just a temp job or what though.

Well, certainly looks impressive.
Just like Lot's wife I could never look back

:P Be still, my heart!

Don't underestimate the difficulty of texturing this. Especially me, with my three left thumbs, and 4 right pinkies. That's a total of 7!

<applause>

Thank you... thank you...

:wink: Okay... to work then..

Its design reminds me of the Ancestor, which is IIRC a Shaper design. Maybe some sort of Shaper interceptor?

Could you post a picture of the ship with the two large wings removed? I have a feeling it will look much better that way.

Marvelous idea!! :D
Why didn't I think of that... :? Sometimes, I tend to overdo the modelling part, getting more problems in the texturing part as a result. 8) I'll try your suggestion.

I kinda like the wings though... saying that, you could use the body to create a lighter fighter version of the ship and keep a version with the wings as heavy weapons mount for a bomber.
