+--- Thread: Rheinland model (/showthread.php?tid=25938)
Rheinland model - Colonel.Tigh - 09-04-2009
Heavy Tanker replacement??
even at this early stage this model looks better that the current heavy tanker, and thats a ship a lot of people use.

Thats quite an interesting model you have there - being mainly a Kusari person, I don't quite understand rheinland much.
However, I do have an idea for making house versions of standard civilian ships. Basically - mining ships, repair ships, lifters/heavylifters/etc. We have house trains, but we really need some of these.
Other than that - I suppose Kruger has yet to have a transport (correction please) and... In my opinion, I don't exactly see many Kruger people around. Everyone seems to be republican shipping...

I'd delete the random half cylinder sticking out of the back and redo the aft section altogether so it's not a huge block. Kind of like an oversized valk/wrath engine.

Wow. You know that this will transform the model to some kind of cruiser?:PI like it, but I fear that I will have to do the model from scratch if I change fundamental things...
Therefore just some details added:

' Wrote:In my opinion, I don't exactly see many Kruger people around. Everyone seems to be republican shipping...Wait... what if I start to develop Order ships? They have many players and a bajilion of ships and proposed models. I think everybody will apreciate that.... come on. Kruger needs more love.

You know, this looks really like a Rheinland ship!
What would you say, would this fit in between Behemoth and Colossus? I'm not sure about it's size, but as of the Rheinland cross, it looks a bit bigger than the Behemoth, that true?

i think it looks great.. Kruger has a potential, dont know why all people jump on first republican transport they can get..
maybe make this one more armored but less cargo then heavy tanker? seems like Kruger would primarily invest in more protection since they have more enemies then ALG, for example.. just a thought

The rule of Rheinland: All ships must be green.

ill repeat: add moar window areaz!!1
on another note, this engine looks much better than the other. perhaps if you elongate the model some, and add mass to the center? use the cylindrical tower thingies that the rheinland cruiser has (you know, the one with the turret mounts on top and bottom)

I don't see it as fully <strike>word-escaping-me-right-now-you-know-what-i-mean</strike> textured!

' Wrote:maybe make this one more armored but less cargo then heavy tanker? seems like Kruger would primarily invest in more protection since they have more enemies then ALG, for example.. just a thoughtI was actually thinking about that. Due to Krugers work in the dangerous diamond fields in Dresden and another reason, this ship will have a better armour then the others, like Heavy Tanker for example.
' Wrote:ill repeat: add moar window areaz!!1Will do. I first wanted to finish the model as a whole, before adding details like windows. It is not ready yet.
' Wrote:on another note, this engine looks much better than the other. perhaps if you elongate the model some, and add mass to the center? use the cylindrical tower thingies that the rheinland cruiser has (you know, the one with the turret mounts on top and bottom)Currently I am thinking about making this thing longer and add some stuff to the middle. What I would like to have ise some mining machinery there, but I don't know how to implement that to let it look convincing.
I will add a new revision on Monday.
