New dessie, same suggestion s those stated above - get rid of those front beams!

It looks good as it is, gents. Getting rid of the front beams will make it look like a flying pole with a big rear end. And for the " it looks like a "dessie"" part, i think it will be a small ship ( for a GB ) so, ittl look different.

Quote:Looks a lot better, but it still looks more like a light destroyer, like the Kusari dessie. I would get rid of the outriggers and the the /""""""\ shaped beams on the front.

I agree, lose the beam on the front, it looks like a small shipyard with it
EDIT: Infact, drop the spars as well and keep the back bar, and it would look like a BW ship.
Ah...well, I'd just like to point out that before I posted the MK II, people were telling me to beef it up and make it a bigger target. I make it a bigger target, and turn it into a brick, which is exactly what I was asked to do. There was no way to make it thicker without expanding the outriggers and bars. People told me 'Make it a big wedge, Eppy! We want another slice of gray cheese!' That doesn't really work. This is a Gunboat. It's not really a capital warship, it's designed to be a much bigger fighter, in essence. So, I designed it after a Saber. The line between a Gunboat and a destroyer is a very blurry thing, and there are other gunboats that look a lot more like Cruisers, strictly speaking, than mine. The Dragon Gunboat, the IMG gunboat, the Corsair gunboat, the Bretonian Gunboat, the Rheinland Gunboat, they're all more closely approximating Cruisers.

very good design but i think there is to much going on in the back of the ship there and not enough in the front idk the front just seems to be...kinda uneventful for lack of the proper words. maby you should transfer some of the stuff from the back to the front make it a little more balanced. i dunno that is just my thought on it

(A) That won't work because then the Gunboat becomes less of an evenly distributed brick, thus messing up the relatively rectangular hitbox, creating a flurry of complaints and resulting in the removal from the mod. Remember, this thing is basically a big Saber with more bells and whistles.
(B) This is a gravedig, and doesn't need to be opened up again. Let it rot. The ship's in for skinning as soon as Mohr's machine gets back online.

alright i see what you are getting at there.
what are the specs on the ship itself, like armor, # of weapon mounts thngs like that? or have you not really worked on that to much.
