Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Korolia - 04-23-2010
Another shot at a potential replacement for the carrier.

Fighter lands on the upper pad and launch by dropping from the lower tube.

The idea behind this ship is actually really, really good. You've got a nice concept going here. Unfortunately, the mesh isn't nearly detailed enough; it's very simple (particularly for a Liberty design), especially around the rear half of the ship. It looks very Starlancer, like something from a game made before the turn of the century. Chamfer is going to be your friend, for starters, but there's also a lot of things that just need to have more parts attached. Look to the middle section of the Liberty Dreadnought for inspiration.

The angles you've shown don't give us a good look at the sides- can you show us a few more? Looks very promising, but I'll refrain from further comment until I've seen it properly.

What he (Eppy) said.
And do I see torpedo tubes at the front, or just headlights?
The shape overall is great, but the details are lacking and its a bit too blocky. I know folks go on and on about FL stuff needing to be blocky, but such ships as the Guardian achieve blockiness while being curvish. So does the LDN actually.
Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Kazinsal - 04-23-2010
It looks beautiful, but as said, it needs to be more curved. Particularly, the front bit. It'd look like a brick from the side, whereas the dread doesn't.
Keep up the nice work, though.
Also: Light grey on the textures, please... it looks like another turd-carrier.

furthermore, it would be better to use the original vanilla textures, i dont think the ones you've used fit rather well, the ship just looks.. black. or at least, lighten the darkness of your textures. plus, the engine texture looks kinda horrid, that would definitely be best using the vanilla one for.
Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Taneru - 04-23-2010
I agree, lighter textures would be an improvement.
Also, Enterprise is already taken as a name. That's the Luxury Liner.
Why not just keep with Atlantis?
Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Tenacity - 04-23-2010
The seperate launch and landing bays idea is nice, but all of those towers on the back are in the way of the landing bay on top.
The Order is still looking for a new carrier model to bump the geb up to battleship-class, though, perhaps this would fit the bill? Our original model was never finished, turkish gave up on it I think -_-
Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Varok - 04-23-2010
I don't like the meshl because is too bulky.
I don't like the texture because is too dark.
=> I don't like the model.
The actual carrier looks better than this, so this is a 'no' from me. Sorry.
I suggest more work on the mesh to make it look better and a new texture, a lighter one.
Enterprise class Liberty Carrier - Denelo - 04-23-2010
What I do see, I like, but I agree with Sovereign; you simply can't see it well enough from these angles. It's certainly better than the current Carrier, but again, kinda hard to tell exactly how much better from this angle.
And Tenacity...
No. Just no. I know how much you want the Order's stuff to be decent, but the current carrier is singularly useless, particularly in comparison to most other capital ships in the game. Not because of its stats, either, but because of its modeling. It only has 12 (!) guns forward, it's almost as tall as and twice as wide as the Rheinland Battleship (with considerably less armor), and is easier to nova than any other ship I've ever nova'd. Seriously, as an HFer, if I'm going to be attacked, I'd rather be attacked by a carrier than anything else, simple because they're just that useless. That's how horrible it is. And plus, it looks horrific. It needs a replace very badly.
