I think these thrusters would look great on your ship

He has thrusters already installed. Thats an older pic.

huh, what pic are you talking about?

I can see there are thrusters on the last pic, but I don't like them

Hmm, I've seen my brother making something like that, using the black with white outline. And he has red too, only a deeper red.

No it doesn't, it lacks the thruster components.

The last pic does have thruster components. Still, it's not exactly appropriate to just post your own work in someone else's thread.

@Anna; words do not suffice.

Does it work both ways?

it is not appropriate to make thrusters for him?

I'm quite sure he might not like others posting their own work into his own thread. That's all. How would you like it if you were working on some big project for weeks and finally when you post it up, someone barges in and tells you about the ship's lack of thrusters, before posting up their own work into the thread? You'll feel insulted, won't you? After working for so long, and putting in so much effort?

Just think about it.

No it doesn't. The only last pic I see is this one, and it lacks thrusters.

However I DO know it has thrusters because Anna showed me this shot in IRC.

However I have yet to see the above in any part of this thread.

What?

I think he didn't mean the module thrusters, but rather an assembly that resembles thrusters. Which it has.

Project: BABYLON is complete, and the X17 Gilgamesh-class Titan is put into service, alongside the Cú Chulainn-class Cruiser, and updated versions of the Memento Mori-class Dreadnaught and the Pantheon-class Dreadnaught. The Orbital Industries Fleet, the most powerful military force in S.I.U.S. space, is now armed and prepared for intergalactic conflict, to the fullest.

hmm needless to say, the ships are not only magnificent, they are a work of art. I am not a fan of some of the part mashing used to fill the structure, although that may be intentional and it certainly adds a realistic look from a distance. The impressive part to me is that none of the ships LOOK like wank ships, aside from their sizes, which is sometimes the case with titans. Though no doubt uberly powerful to match their size, they look almost underarmed just by appearance, which is nice because it allows for aesthetic placement. Sorry about spelling.

Thank you. It's nice to know that my aesthetically inclined ships aren't entirely bad. Yeah, the part-mashing used to fill in the structure in some places is fairly annoying. I'm not really fond of it myself, but with the larger ships, its either that, or even more and more work, adding more detail that for the most part won't even be visible when you're zoomed out far enough to see the whole ship.

As to the weapons... yeah, I prefer to use a handful of really powerful weapons, positioned to look good, as opposed to slapping guns all over the damn thing and hiding the hull beneath all the firepower.

No need to apologise for your spelling, either.

There's not a single incorrectly spelled word in your post.

ArcaneDude, Master Chief, while I appreciate your efforts, I actually don't mind Anty posting those thrusters here. They're very good, and I would have used them, if I didn't already have the thruster sections on the ship. But it would have been too much effort to change around entire parts of the hull to include them.

Anty, thanks for the effort.

I appreciate your attempt to help, and if you're okay with it, I may use those engines on another ship, at a later date.

actually, on reflection after trying to play with them, the internal pieces don't much matter because of the sheer complexity. Sadly I can't do much with the Gilgamesh because it reduces my frame rate to 4

but when I used the Cu Chulainn, I was very impressed with the custom weapons. I particularly liked the two blaster weapons; I think I get how they were done but certainly wouldn't have thought of doing it that way. Hopefully putting in ram this weekend will let me truly have fun with them. Also my best attempt at a titan ship almost fits in the crook of your titan's wing. Humbling at the least
