Quote:This might work as a SRP vessel of some kind but otherwise it's really not Outcast-y enough. The massive stonking engine on the Ranseur is an outlier in Maltese design and really shouldn't be emulated- the rear half of the Ranseur is probably the worst part about the model, everything else about it design-wise is glorious.
As for the current Sarissa, again, the model's design works, it just needs tweaks, not a complete replacement.
You miiiiight change your mind once I finish texturing. Also, I'm having real fun making this thing, it's a good training for something else that may be needed in the future, so I wouldn't mind if it doesn't replace the current one, still looking forward to see what Swallow can do about it though.
Also this one may become a battlecruiser/carrier/something otherwise?

He is right though, with proper texturing this could be a nice replacement for the Jormungand imo.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

It doesn't have the Rheinland-generic engine... Though I think I can make a good Jormungand aswell (not with this model, it doesn't look anywhere close a RH ship).

Give me one second to gather RH gunship pic and RH BS pic and ill show you what Wanderer and I mean

Hmm well when I get home I will show you why I made it look the way it does, and you'll understand. Also the way Vidar is shaped, prooobably because massdriver wanted it to look like its predecessor import-model.
Another detail I forgot is the large square part on their bellies (Sarissa and my Sarissa) which you can see from the 3D viewer.
The main reason why I made it look like a sword/spear (or accidently pretty much like the RH in shape) is because "Sarissa" was a spear used in the dark times before. I wanted it to actually look a bit like a spear/sword just like how the TridentGB looks like a real 'Trident' (note that ALL Outcast ships including their BW ships are named after medieval weapons, swords, knives or spears. So before began modeling I already had the shape in my mind, so that's where I started, also I slightly tried to make it look like the Hispania sleeper ship so that I can come up with an easier excuse as to why inRP ship designers wanted to have it that way, they were inspired.
Where I actually started with the ship was the engine of course, and because I know that Sarissa will be re-made (pretend that my model will make it to the mod), the Ranseur will stay, therefore I wanted both of the ships to have same looking engines, round cylindrical ones. Though IF I will have some free time, I can remake the engine, despite that I re-sized it 30% of its original size so that its shape can fit better with the rest of the ship.
But as I said before, it will be much better looking and much more distinctive when it's done textured.
Thanks for the critics and feedbacks tho ^^
EDIT: Note that my Sarissa used in the pictures above, is not in its original size.
