Youve already received my feedback on the CR Freighter. It is infact a ship we are missing in our shipline. So maybe once it is complete. Devs might approve it and it could be implemented for us once some rp has been done for it. I would definantly fly one.
First thing first, you overdid smoothing groups a bit IMO , making the mesh somewhat .. blurry. This same reason makes the textures look funny on it, also texture mapping needs a serious rework, cause it's all over the place but not really where it should be.
However, the mesh looks solid otherwise, so if you cut back on the smoothing, it can work, but te textures are really off on thisone.
I second what Oldum says. I just couldn't find these words myself.
Though looking forward for more. Seeing how much you work I suppose that you will very soon improve your skills and could join us in overhauling and designing new ship models.
Concerning the early CR freighter model I made, well... I started again from scratch. the base concept is the same. however, I think now it looks a lot better.
still need to figure how to texture it so it looks nice x)
