Phantom 'Widow Queen' mothership

[Tenacity]

Phantoms really shouldnt be using tradelanes or jumpgates anyways, way to alert the lawfuls to your presence by signing onto ageira's sirius-wide network.

But, this could serve as a model replacement for the huntress cruiser if sized appropriately. The huntress is one of the imports that still needs replacing.

That's a great idea for a battleship! It's a step away from the usual designs which makes it seem like something the Phantoms would use (afterall, they are 'aliens' who most likely have different ways of designing their technology).

About the docking issues, I don't think the Phantoms would risk bringing on of their most advanced pieces of tech into the middle of a house controlled system, so they wouldn't need to worry about using jump gates. Jump holes, as you said, should work fine with the model and still allow it to move from system to system. Lastly, I'm not really sure why Phantoms would need to use a trade lane in the first place (except for ambushes, but if you saw this thing flying at you, what are you going to do anyways?).

Overall, I would say it's a great model. Maybe messing around with the textures wouldn't be a bad idea. Turret placement might be kind of weird with this ship, so messing around with some different ideas on that would be productive.

Nice job!

Where's the bridge on that thing by the way?

Looks pretty cool, but I think it could use a lot more mass in the back.

Something along the lines of:

but not necessarily as big. It's a way to add hitbox to that ship while retaining the coolness factor; and it really does need to be more hittable along the horizontal so that hitting reverse doesn't make it invulnerable.


I also agree with Tenacity's suggestion to replace the Huntress with this.

It looks awesome. Better than any of the Coalition ships ever designed. Even the Atlantis carrier. But you might need to redo the model in Milkshape; Google Sketchup isn't compatible with FL models as far as I know. Good to see new talent better than 80% of our current 'modellers'

Ross, that was uncalled for.


I did some quick poking around and it appears that sketchup can be exported to .3ds, and there should be tools to take it from there to any other format.

I agree with everyone else when I say I like it. I think it should be resized to be something else, maybe a fighter or more likely a Phantom Gunship.

Good job.

I must admit, thats a great ship, however, it is a little too thin in my opinion. The thinness gives it uniqueness, however, in my opinion, it also at least some bulk to add to it.

Also reminds me of a spider O.o

This looks like a phantom ship to me. Would be nice to have one as an NPC gauding the phantoms system.
