Mandalorian Series Development Thread - Flo - 08-24-2009
' Wrote:I don't want to be a Debbie Downer, since this is a great model and all, but aren't making ships only for the Mandelorians detrimental to the greater Disco audience?
I also don't like to make shiplines for everyone and their mother, so I might as a question: can we just make it like a Borderworlds Interceptor (Since it is that shape) or something so that the Mandelorians can use it anyway, but, it still is open to the Borderworlds market instead of particularly the Mandelorians? I'd say the same thing with anyone trying to expand the FA shipline. That is, make it Samura so it's open to the entire Samura market instead of specifically the FA, but the FA can still use it.
It's just that we have a lot of silly shiplines, lets face it, and I don't really agree with Mercenaries getting their own particular ships...
That's what I say in general. We don't need our very own ship, just a ship we can use like it would be ours;)

Right, I had my moment with the prototype, so I went on to build production versions. Here's the first, the light fighter variant, working title 'Redback' (I'm naming them after salamanders until Deiter tells me to use something else). I tried to slim it down and crunch it up a bit at the same time to produce something smaller and more compact, more in line with the Dagger silhouette than before (which, if necessary, it could share a slightly tweaked hitbox with, though hopefully somebody will be able to provide a custom rig).

PLEASE NOTE:
I do not care if you think the Mandalorians should or shouldn't get their own shipline. I do not care what you think about custom shiplines in general. This is not my problem, it's Igiss's and Deiter's to mull over. This thread is not for mulling over such philosophical matters. This thread is about a model I have hewn from the aimless pixels. Keep your posts to that topic or I will have you harmonized.

the cockpit is horrendous, and methinks it should have a dual engine instead of the single it has right now. in its current shape it would fit at best as a LF, or a light HF (oxymoron much?)

Yes, Gurj, the cockpit is still horrendous. I'll fix that whenever the hell I feel like.
Dual Engine BAD. I'm doing that for the HF/VHF variant. As it stands, yes, it is an LF.

Definitely not. I like it. It's cute in a homely sort of way. I love how I manage to start out with a Star Wars ship and it turns into a mutant Stiletto. I have to figure out some way to make a superdoom VHF out of it, though, and that's going to be a challenge.

the last version is a step back. - the thin nose and the massive stuff under the ship doesn t fit. - it looks unproportionate much.
actually - it would even look better without the "nose" at all - but only with a stubby front.

Simple, Put a Second engine thing above It, And have two guns on each protrusion, and 2 guns and a turret on the main Cabin
