I'm lovin' this concept here, Jinx. I CANNOT wait to see these ingame. Only worry is the rather large difference in texturing on the Bret train between the cargo segment and the rest of the ship. It's a bit jarring.

Woop, very nice. Think i found my new ship. the kusari one looks fairly carrierish wouldn't you say?

You do that and I will hunt you, I will find you and I will slap you.
But I do like the prospect of a Rheinland Train.

A juggerwhale!
Edit: now for some serious critique: while I find them all very good modeled/textured I am somehow not quite convinced about the Rheinland train concept, as its main engine seems to fry the cargo containers O_o ...

For the vigilant, it has been noted and corrected that the Rheinland train's engine is a little more blue than is appropriate.

nice work for the Bretonia and Kusari ones.
However, could you show a different picture of the liberty one? The front end is out of the picture.
As for the Rheinland one, There is something weird in its design/ texture

I like the rheinland one, would fit ALG very well.

I LOVE that Bret Train. New toys for Bowex!! :ylove:
Jinx, you're my new favorite person! At least until somebody else makes something sexy for Bretonia.

explanation about the engine and the rheinland train....
the whole cargo section is shaped like a " V " - the engine is placed so its engine blasts through the open space in the V.
- reason for that is that the rheinland train is target of much much heavier attacks than any other train ( at least up to now ) - with the wild around many places in rheinland - it faces much tougher enemies that attack without any mercy than any other house transports. - so the ship itself is heavier armoured - while still rather cheap.
there is a rotating deflector shield ( physical deflector ) for the front section. - this section can ( in theory of course ) spin upwards to shield the bridge and the other habitated sections. - the engine is secluded in the middle - protected by the whole frame and the containers ( better loose a few containers than your whole engine... )
still the rheinland train looks less sophisticated and easier to maintain than any other train.
explanation about the liberty transport....
its basicly a "poor-mans" liberty cruiser mainframe. - the bridge was moved sideways to allow looking past the containers that are arranged in an upside down " Y ". the part you cannot see in the picture is both - antennas and a joint to stick more containers into the front of the ship.
all in all the liberty supertransport is shorter ( i think ) but more massive. - it isn t really a "train" cause it pushes rather than pulls the cargo.
the bretonian train....
features two large crane like robotic arms - and one very large claw on an telescopic arm used to upload and unload by itself.
the idea behind that was that this transport can operate with less sophisticated bases, like low level mining bases. - those bases won t need high tech uploading sections - but only space depots. the train itself could load up the cargopods itself ( bit like the barge )
the kusari train.....
is all average again. - the kusaris managed to build a train that is just that... an engine with cargopods - all solid, no speciality about it... instead they made it look a bit more ornamented and streamlined. - a rather uninspired ship - but its doing its work.
the zoner whale....
well, its a whale alright. - bit bigger than the GMG whale, but also capable of hauling more. no weapons ( get used to it ) low armour high agility. - zoners rely on their politics and reputation as their main defense and give up armour / weapons to slip through parts of sirius that other 5k transport would get stuck in.
