' Wrote:...no. I am NOT doing all of that again:P3ds Max isn't good at just warping parts of a ship and stretching/repositioning them like that; it's good for doing tiny details and immaculate precision, but it's slow in that each point needs to be adjusted individually, and once you have your basis it's pretty hard to modify it. Faster, really, to just start over.

I might, if demand is high enough, try a catamaran-style engine. I wish I'd thought of that, I actually like that idea more than what I've got...unfortunately, since it's a replace, it could be difficult to remove any of the engine HPs.

On second thought, maybe if I did it like the Liberty Cruiser, where it's got four engines strapped to one relatively small point? Pairing that up could work, if I Outcastify it. I'll try that tomorrow after I get home from school.

EDIT: And yeah, there's gonna be a hangar (albeit a smaller one) and, like I said, I'll be adding more supports to the front of the cats. Again, they won't merge, it's not practical.

I Like where this is going with the engines. Another point is that the spots where the catamaran hulls join the main body of the ship looks too weak and flimsy. Beef those up a bit. Personally, I'm not a fan of catamaran hull designs at all. I'd say screw the front catamarans and put in dual engines. The sub bridge is.... interesting. Not sure what my opinion on it is yet.

From my own experience, splitted hulls are causing troubles with custom hitbox. So better go with a single front part.

to be frank, I have a strong dislike of catamaran design (and explains why I find the kusari catamarans really, really ugly, sorry whoever made these...)

plus, this ship looks more like a commercial freight to me than a combat vessel...

Looks a bit bulky in my opinion.

Honestly, it looks like a big transport. Not aggressive or intimidating at all. You remember when Tinkerbell wanted a barge? With slightly changed proportions, I think this could be it.

Let's get into the "Why." First of all, it's way too flat. Yeah, yeah, the current Dessie is flat too, but it's more of a wedge shape. It could be made out of a distorted circular prism or two. Yours looks like it was made out of a couple flat blocks.

Secondly, the dual hulls look like conventional boats from our times. The whole front section is - pardon my bluntness - rather lame.

Thirdly, it looks way too small, especially height-wise. Even if it was textured with windows the size of pinpoints the proportions of it would give it the feeling of a much smaller ship.

Some elements of it show a lot of promise (I like what you did with the panels and the engines in the back), but I really hope that you go back to the drawing board. Worked well for the gunboat, eh?;)

Kind of looks like the Anteus, that being the ship from the game 'Hostile Waters' if anyone's ever played it.

As Dopa said, I like the engine and back section, not really warming to the front bit.
