My WIP discussion page UPDATE: Both ships tweaked 'n DL'able

Archives for ships and fleets. 'nuff said. Most of the ships here are very very old and will not work in current versions of BSF or SM. You have been warned!

That's Dutch too. An accent we havew here in The Hague, which we simply call Haags. It's not an official dialect, though, so that writing is just phonetic.

thread derail GO

Honestly, I can't make up my mind. The ship doesn't particularly attract me, but keep playing with the style. It looks...interesting.

@T-002: Toeme! Kat er ni oep grekend daternenollander zou tussenzittê!
(Nu gij!)

@Müg: Don't mind about the derailing. Just us Dutch/Belgians verbally trying to best each other. And, yes, I will be continuing this style in future projects, as well as the adversary I'm creating for the Vilushan Navy.

Yeah, I'm sorry about that little comment.
But if I didn't say it, someone else would've. I figured I'd just get it out of the way sooner rather than later. :\

Anyways, back on topic now.

I finalised (and saved) :oops: a version in SM3.2, and added Salvofire's suggestions. This is how it looks:

Just hoping this is what you meant.

It's not armed yet, and I'll still have to do some tweaking. But this is about it.

I like the wings MUCH better now. It looks fantastic. Although, now the main body seems a bit skimpy considering the mass of the wings. But hey, however you like it.

Don't worry 'bout the main body, it' only partially done. I'm also thinking to cajnge those section 26's with something more aestethic. I'm glad you like it!

Now, on to the armament. I'm thinking something like modding schockbeamers so they look like phasers, 'n pulsars for torps. I think that fits this design best.

EDIT: and here is the final (still unarmed) version:

And now: guns, guns, guns!

Ooooo even better. I have to agree that it needs something more elegant than blasters and the like. Beamers and alien weapons are probably the best choice.

You should keep the curved parts outside, and the straight-edged parts inside.


Also, try to give it a 'sleek' look, as if it's being stretched by relative motion. I would do this by making the trailing tips taper down less abruptly than the leading tips.

You should also consider using different colors to accentuate parts and add focus. If not, you can simply use different shades of the color you're using at the moment and apply it in a manner that gives the silhouette more definition.


Currently, you losing more of the silhouette with each update, so step back and re-evaluate where you want your ship to end up looking like.

About the silhouette, this is as updated as it's gonna get. The tapering of the spires is the last thing I'm gonna do to it, and then I'm gonna arm it. I kinda like the Pteranodon look on it.

At condorc3: No. It will not slice up easily. I tested it against my Forerunner Key Ship, which is basically a massive wank with a beam of 1000 firepower. It needed two shots. Which is a lot, since it did the grinder in 'bout 2 minutes.
