I can see where you're headed with the triangular slant, that might be a part that needs changing. I'll clean up the area around the struts while I'm at it. The doodads...technically aren't necessary, but I'd rather rearrange them than remove them.

@Warpman: why should a ship be made in a single structure to be epic? Like I'm doing it, you have the main hull, heavily armoured side pods, a connection area and an engine section. Personally, I think this only adds to the realism. I've kind of had it with BSF ships looking a bit cartoon-ey, so I prefer trying to get a machine-like look, with a certain amount of skeletal structures. Especially when the ship is human.

@Xynus: the engine has already been moved closer and I'm not retracting it further. It looks fine where it is.

Any chance you could post the "Ragnarok" firing?

It seems to me that your ship is very in-animate in all of these pictures. In general, I find that most good ships give a sense of being "alive", so to speak; e.g. Jade Martyr comes to mind. To me at least, that's what is missing from your ship.

The Epic ship is meant to make enemy shit bricks. Literally. (Until you show what it's worth on the battlefield it's impossible to say anything on that point)
It is meant to be Big.(it is. OK.)
It's supposed to be heavily armoured. (OK.)
It's supposed to have the Style. (OK.)
It's supposed to look like an impenetrable war machine able to tear down anything that is foolish enough to stand close. (No OK mark yet.)

That's all just my Opinion. A Huge pile of rubbish(cluttered ship), megahuge cannon with tiny ship(Hestia with Ragnarok from your ship), Badly designed or thin ship is not Epic.

(One vessel carries 2.000 missiles, each counting 60 Megatonnes of explosive force)

thats alot of boom.

The ship, it looks very nice as I would expect from someone like you, but one thing that bugs on the very top of the strut(wings?) that kae mecha section seem oddly placed and the long spike like things on the back look out of place. Great ship though.

Do you have something against cohesive sentences? If you were to at least try to achieve something remotely close to paragraphs, it would be easier for people to figure out what you're trying to say. Personally, I have no idea what the fuck you're talking about.

Motherfucker, until you've made something that's even half as good as the average quality of AD's ships, and until you'e learned how to express yourself in a manner that doesn't make you sound mentally retarded, you have precisely zero influence or say in what makes an "epic ship".

AD, lose the whiskers.

They're so thin and oddly placed. What ARE they?

They certainly don't mix with the rest of the sections being used.

I quite like it

the only odd bit to my eye is the use of two spindly bits at the back - surely one would fit in more naturally? I think if you took the outside pair away (behind the engines that is - the other ones are fine) and moved the inside pair away from each other slightly the whole ship would look better (imho).

Darkship · Post by **Darkship** » Sat Jul 11, 2009 11:00 am

The various antenna(?) scattered around the whole ship is just, meh. I personally don't think it does much to help the design, and seems more like a hindrance rather than an enhancement.

Also I would like to say that I don't quite like the engine section. It doesn't merge well with the rest of the ship. Im not too sure why but I should put the blame on it being too angular as compared to the rest of the ship.
Again the reason why I feel the ship is more curvy than angular is probably because of those prominent spines/whiskers/antennas.

It is a good ship though ill give it that, but some changes should be enacted to make it even better.

I don't like the red bit.It clashes with the blue.

Believe me, this ship is more than capable of tearing down anything that's foolish enough to stand close. So unless you know what you're talking about, which I sincerely doubt, get out.

@Everyone else; okay, so lose the oddly placed battleblades, and maybe make the engine section a tad less blocky. Got it.

@darkcodex: well then you have no taste whatsoever.

I agree with both of these posts. First, stop typing like a moron, you make my brain hurt from deciphering your sentences.
Secondly, as both Anna and AD have said, get out with your stupid bullshit points. You are hardly in the position to define what epic is and isn't.

Also I agree with everyone about those whiskers. Some of em have got to go.

Okay, clipped off the battleblades and tilted the engine baffles somewhat.

I dunno why but this still isn't your best ship. It has improved a lot but something isn't right. Some of the purple mecha sections bother me, mostly on the wing. Could you maybe move the triangle of red doodads a tad to the right? The engine looks better. I think the main problem with the ship is that the sections just seem really packed.

I think this ship lost alot of what made it unique after chopping off the 'battle blades'.
