gunship - Jinx - 06-03-2008
since the other forum wasn t really correct ...
this is the version i had made some time ago ( unskinned ) - its based much more on the bomber than on the orca. - the advantage is that it could:
- 1st use the hammerhead hitbox
- share the same weakness the bomber has - that is to be a huge target from the sides

size is around the size of the orca - much harder to hit from the front, but much easier from the sides.
edit: gonne add several suggestions ....

Some nice ideas as usual, Jinx.
The overall style carries the typically BH motifs: upper and lower fins, round cockpit and the side "wings". Very nice concept indeed.
I'm not sure what kind of weapons array you could put on this gb. Maybe a front gun underneath the upper fin? There seems to be a handy niche there just for that purpose. Then 6 turrets for good effect - at least 3 should be able to shoot downwards.
One thing does bother me a tad with this model - The side profile is pretty high. Unless this ship has good agility, it would be too easy a target for bombers and other gbs. And it does seem to be rather "stubby". Maybe some additional length would be in order.

excellent replacement for the BH gunship, might make the thing a little less uber, and I'm getting a bit tired of the poor starwars imports to be honest =P We need replacements like this.
GJ, as always jinx.

Wut? GJ? GJ's an AI... (:P)
Nice work, Jinx. I want to see a skinned version badly! (Might be enough to get me to make an RPing *GASP!* BHG!)

like i said, i ll add more concepts - those are all just very simple ideas, they all don t have any details added and are only products of like 10 minutes. but i allways find it easier to think of a ship when you see it in 3d instead of describing it. thats too open for interpretations.
gunship - Tenacity - 06-03-2008
Well if input is what you're looking for... here's mine:
-Remove that curved portion on the very front of the ship, have the two 'wings' come to points more like the BH bomber. The curve looks like it's only there to obstruct the pilot's view.
-Remove the gun-looking thingy that's inbetween the body and top wing, it looks out of place.
-Bring that top wing down and merge it into the body so it looks solid, right now it's only connected by that tiny little strut and it gives a very weak/feeble look to the ship's structure. In fact, it may be better to just remove the top wing entirely and have that ramscoop/body curve as the only detail on the top of the ship, it'd make laying textures easier.

Hmm, yeah, I can see that as working.
Also, does the bottom wing really need to extend below where it goes forwards? It kinda looks odd.

Make that GB and remove the bloody orca, and use that GS u made in BHG cap thread.
PWEEEEASE
And get a new look for BHG forward gun, and put it where the upper 2 longish tube/guns are, it would look brilliant!

there's nothing wrong with the orca other than the bugged forward cannon. It's a unique model, not an import, no need for replacement.
gunship - Tic - 06-03-2008
Im talkin about the forward gun, it should shoot upwards not downwards...
Its big, has bad armor and 5 forward shootin guns. And the forward gun is 90% useless in battle.
