armoured civilian liner

[ScornStar]

Scorn, I know you guys like the Talarca as it is for your purposes, So how would this sound? Move the current Talarca out to Kappa, and put the new model in Kusari where the Talarca was. I think that solves the problem. The Talarca is not a Kusari looking ship, and if the reason we end up keeping it is that a non-kusari faction uses it doesnt make sense. Change the name of the Talarca, and the info card to make it non-Kusari. My thing is that I want a Cruiser to use in Kusari that looks Kusari and feels Kusari, non of those things is the Talarca as it is now.

Perfect.

Very nice, Jinx, but do you know what would make it look even cooler? Putting the Talarca wings on it:yes:Think "Valkyrie" from Titan AE.

Edit:



The wings would probably look better in the front than they would in the back.

I am all for this being a Battlestar replace. Before the CR guys get angry:

Look at it. Really look at it. In its current form (without the Talarca wings) it looks like how the Battlestar would evolve to be sleeker and better suited to the environment of Sirius. Here, it isn't about having crazy armor to fend off a Cylon base-ship- its about being able to get out of the way, to move. That, and you don't need the huge complex for FTL since there are JHs everywhere, so you can further optimize it. Makes sense?

@Dopamino:

thats what i really hate:laugh:- i make a ship from a genuine idea somewhere deep in my mind. - just to realize that its not only a bit - but very similar to a ship that already exists. ( and worse even - a ship i didn t know before )

that just tells me one thing - i m unconsciously influenced by design patterns - and there is nothing really new to design.

but to get to the point - yes, the wings look good..... come to that, wings on ships look good most of the times - but freelancer ships have no wings. - the liner would look stunningly awesome if it had some nicely shaped wings and stuff - but the freelancer capital sized ships are mostly tubes.

but i think i ll add another satelite dish to it - i like how the sat dish looks on the BHG destroyer ...

It looks too libertyish to be in Kusari. I think it would make a great replace or the Talarca. once again Jinx you made a very impressive model

[Screenlag]

would that be a transport like cruiser, like the luxury liner? or would it be a combat ship?
The name suggests that it would be a transport, but it really looks like a cruiser. It reminds me of a carrier. I think it looks awesome,

since its always easier to imagine a ship when its skinned, - here is the textured version. - after around 3 hours ( but somehow - once i start, i cannot stop until its done ) ...

i chose the liner texture - and abandoned the idea to replace the talarca - its simply too far away from the original design. - and it looks too big, no matter how i resize it.

right now - i made it as long as the adv. battlestar, and if the =CR= agrees, maybe we can replace one of the battlestars with such a civi BB. - it would give the zoners a dreadnaught size battleship ( so there were less juggernauts that are supposed to be rarer anyway )

ahh, btw. - this variant does not work. ( the model - cause i made a tiny little mistake at the start... and HardCMP crashed when i upload it - so i ll have to fix that before i can proceed:()

anyway - that gives you all an idea of how the ship might look...

edit: that ship was a pain in the **** to texture. - i nearly gave up while texturing the engine part ( the rear ) - so many double layers, holes, edges etc. - oh, and i added a funny blue glow texture to the radial reactor chamber - but i guess making it glow would look a little too alien.. hehe.

edit2: similarities to the osiris chassis in some parts might work. - the battlestar is zoner made.. and as a close ally they might just taken up some design ideas from it. - hitting it from the side is hard though... it offers quite a small target ( in terms of battleships ) - cause only the rear is massive, the front is very flat.
