OK so I've left it be for a month and now I've started working again...I thought of streamlining the hull to make it less of a transportish ship...as you can see in the last post I made it flat on the sides...now ive cut into the sides with a few ridges...I'm trying to strike a balance between nomadish and humanish...
looks very similar to the borderworld transport. i like the round shapes - but a gunboat? - it screams "transport" to me. ( it does look very mean - like... errr.. a remote device strapped onto a HUGE bomb. you collide with your enemy, and booooom, supernova:))
i like it, add more polygons to support the round look ( actually - gunboat might work, if you think of a submarine as a gunboat )
YEah that looks like a transport to me too. TO make it more of a gunboat, flatten the big cylinder so that the engines and bridge are more prominent. Might still look like a transport but not as much so:)
"To gain a hundred victories in a hundred battles is not the highest excellence;
to subjugate the enemy's army without doing battle is the highest of excellence."
Ok...so I could flatten out the main tube and make it more triangular...Im also thinking i shuould remove the ribs and actually make grooves going along the sides of the ship that sort of reverse mirror the 3 ridges...thanks for the comments folks...ill keep on working.
EDIT: yes the nomad look was intentional...the RP behind it being the Order has done extensive research on Nomad design and has therefore borrowed some elements.
Ok,cool.My bad.
Hmm...looks like we've got our first hybrid SHIP(we've had hybrid pilots):)
I can only assume that it's power generator should be stronger than a normal one,since it's using nomad tech.The bigger power output would be a distinguishing point between a nomad/human hybrid ship and a normal human ship.Everything the same,but greater power output.Ok kill me.It's a stupid idea.
PS:For the rookie you are claiming to be,you're a pretty good modeler;).
I'm not sure what it's going to be...looks like a transport now, but could become a warship...but it's definitely promising. Good start, Monk!
Here's another idea: in between the three longitudinal spines, change it to be concave rather than convex. Might give it more of a predatory appearance.
Maybe make it a Unioner Gunboat so that we could use it instead of the Corsair GB? It could have less hull and firepower but slightly more agility.. Yet, this ship looks a bit nomadic to me:)
