CR Capline Revamp Discussion - Lucas - 01-19-2021
https://p3d.in/11E36
There's no consistency here and ideally I'd like to revamp it.
Though since there is literally no consistency or level of details whatsoever, I am unsure as to where to go with it.
If you've got any sort of ideas or inspiration or anything else that might help feel free to post it either here or in the appropriate channel here. Currently haven't started so if you want to weigh in then now may be your best chance.

My only problem is the Argus. Looks like shit. I've grown to like the Thanatos and Zephyr and have always liked Deimos' look.
RE: CR Capline Revamp Discussion - DarkTails - 01-19-2021
I like the Thanatos and Zephyr, but not really keen on the Argus and Deimos.
RE: CR Capline Revamp Discussion - Spectre - 01-19-2021
The Deimos is already pretty high quality for a model these days, so it shouldn't need a revamp.
The Thanatos and Zephyr are still pretty good, but I'll admit that they could use some love, but are overall still good models.
The Argus.. ugh... here we go..
The Argus is literally a temporary model. It was added to the CR capline because CR didn't have a BC to contend with the GRN, but the only model available was an ancient IMG BC model. @=Hellfire= was working on a model in the past, and iirc got it finished and submitted it to the devs, but it was denied by the devs at the time for.. unknown reasons, which is strange because it kept consistency with the Deimos and was an absolutely gorgeous model. I still say that his model would make the Argus so much more pleasing to fly, and without the stupid little grin it has on the front.
tl;dr
The Argus is the only thing wrong here, really. Everything else is still as good as the day it came in.

Argus needs to be re-done into also a flatter model like the others
And the joke textures replaced. Deimos should be buffed balance wise, it's very weak compared to e.g. Ranseur, but I personally like the model
RE: CR Capline Revamp Discussion - Toaster - 01-19-2021
Gotta agree with the others, they all look fine apart from the Argus. In fact, I think the three others do great consistency-wise without looking like upscaled/downscaled versions of each other (like a few other shiplines in the game).
RE: CR Capline Revamp Discussion - Arcana - 01-19-2021
Argus has a smiley front part. Deimos is too big compared to other heavy ships.
RE: CR Capline Revamp Discussion - Lucas - 01-20-2021
Bumping this.
Current idea is to revamp the meshes of Zephyr and Thanatos a bit, polishing and retexturing them while probably changing the Argus fully and the Deimos to a point where it keeps the main shape but gets proper geometry but stays roughly the same and will still be recognizeable as such.
Me and others had the idea of giving them a somewhat sturdier look with extra armor platings and such (how that'll turn out I am not too sure yet) and to get rid of the outside tubes of say the Zephyr because they really don't make much sense and the way they're currently they don't really look good imo.

I like the current shipline, even Argus. It looks pretty cute in its ugliness, yknow. Only the back panels on engines look out of place, maybe. But those who hate it apparently think that the game shouldn't have any other shapes of ships, except for sleek ones, eh. I personally would prefer to see a remaster of current shipline, not a remodel.
P.S.: Btw, jfyi – GB is a cap. Please, gosh.

Argus is really cute in his "ugliness" and i really like that smiley face on it.
Please if you are going to add entirely new model, let the current Argus stay also, so current Argus lovers may use it. (nod)
