Rapier

[Durandal]

This is the first model that I've completed the texturing on to date, quite happy with the way it looks, and it'll most likely be going in another mod of mine.

It's supposed to utilize elements of the trusty old borderworlds design whilst also integrating new technology.

Major Kudos to Gurjiv to his 3ds max texturing tutorial.

Disclaimer: [color=#FF0000]THIS MODEL IS NOT FOR DISCO

I was just about to say "where does it fit in Disco" but then I acquired points in literacy.

It's a bit... basic. It does look like an actual rapier, but the frontal intake is a bit jarring- though I could also see it looking awkward if it came to a point. Have you tried it with a tapered edge, at least? Just to see what it looks like?

Very nice. Interesting look-alike to the Sabre in some ways. It looks finished so all the best for it in your mod.

I love that spoiler with the 2 small engines on it. Im disappointed about the 'basic shape' with no very many details. The texture its pretty nice, also the model is a good one.

I personnaly dont like the windows:laugh:

Good model, through, sadly its not for Disco:P

Kudos to you, Draconis.

The 'model' section has started to irritate me a bit lately. It has turned into a shameless +1 section for a lot of people.

It's also been serving as a turf war of sorts over 'who gets what ships'.

This is not good.

Sorry. I'm in a bad mood. Moving on.

I'd say it seems a little... Top-heavy. Almost like the feeling of seeing somebody parachuting when you look at it (top-light, then?). Or a ballerina, but they have legs, so um... Nevermind. I'd say add something on the bottom; perhaps an extra engine. I think a trapezoidal shape would work. Have one end of the trapezoid flat (so I guess a trapezium) and have the slanted end running a partial the length of the ship.

It'd make a sort of 'weight' on the bottom of it to balance the airy feeling above.

-Edit- Oh yes. I like it, by the way. Just reminds me of Mary Poppins and laughing when I see it.

Mhm. I'd edit it a bit, but I love it!

Sabre, but not fat ^____^

Mate, this was a vision of mine that I never got done, glad to see someone had the same vision. Good job, needs some details (textures) but it's excellent for a first timer. About people saying it's basic - that's the beauty and genius of the design.:)

If the stars should appear one night in a thousand years, how would men believe and adore and preserve for many generations the remembrance of the city of God? - from 'Nightfall' by I. Asimov
The Outcasts consider Siniestre Nube a sacred place for several reasons. Early explorers discovered a jumphole within the depths of the cloud that leads to a strange world of ringed stars and strange craft. All ships in the burrial ground are placed facing that hole to honor the Alien Spirits. - An Outcast rumor

Maybe replace for Switchie?

Maybe replace for Switchie?

As a switchblade pilot; no.

I'd swap back to the Stiletto if you did. No offense, Tycho. I just like the Stiletto better <_<
