That's a real cool Renzu Liner you got there, Zelot, but how about them--
Nah, I kid.
Really looking forward to all the new Renzu stuff.
Although, just to be clear, will the bomber be a new ship altogether? There's no Renzu bomber at the moment, anyway, so I guess it won't be replacing anything.
And what about the VHF? Toketsu replacement, Wasupu replacement, or a whole new ship?
The bomber's torpedo mount seems a bit low and it looks like it would shoot through the nose. Might not be a problem because it's a smaller ship, but I've disrupted myself with a Zoner Conference gunboat more times than I should have because the disruptor hit the nose instead of the other ship.
I just wonder if Renzu line is considered civilian or civilian kusari. Those snubs you made will be very good competitor against overused eagle and sabre.

Does it really? :huh:
Well, I haven't textured it yet - I can tweak it.
Also, just came from the Theaters - watched 'The Mechanic' - EPIC Movie!

Well, the thing is, it does have a similar shape/design to the current RT. Long cockpit area, two massive engines toward the rear... I can definitely see where McNeo's coming from.
Either way, Renzu or RT, I think it'll fit in with the rest of the ships just fine.
I like the general shape, but like i told zelot, perhaps just to make it a bit more obvious, add some kusari-ness to the mesh in to form of the purple winglets you see on every kusari ship. HOWEVER, there is a catch. dont make the winglets large and prominent like they are on every kusari ship, but more as decorative/ornamental pieces.
regarding the textures, i personally think you have a bit of a challenge in front of you. if you add too much white, you'll make the ships too generic and dull to look at. if you add too much brown, it'll look TOO kusari. you want to have the right balance of white:brown, but at the same time make up by using ALOT of decorativeness in the form of trims, designs, texturing tricks, symmetry + texturing, etc to get the perfect texture job.
about the gunship, for now i think you should just focus on the snub craft first, and ill leave it at that for now.
