Corsair Bomber, Corsair Cruiser, Zoner Destroyer

[RingoW]

First i start with the Zoner Destroyer. I hope you like the skins. Just like the Juggernaught was designed to look like an insectoid, i tried to follow this concept but in a smaller form. The back i want to look like the back of a bee, wasp or hornet, in warning colors. To show: stay away or you will feel my sting.






The next is the much discussed Corsair Cruiser. I tried to implement some suggestions. This is the result. The skin is not the best, cause it was made with screenshots. I will work for.






Here we have the skinned "Pretorian" Corsair bomber. Shall it be equipped with sinngel or double seater cockpit. You can see the double seater in front below.






Your comments, suggestions and ideas.

make the bomber a bit more tan than orange. then it'll be perfect.

I really like the bomber model, I also think that the cruiser model fits the corsair line better that the huntress cruiser. Very nicely done.

Love 'em. Good job! Can't wait for more.

Zoner Destroyer. It's hard to judge, but if the white stripes at front of it are windows, than it's too small for a destroyer. Would fit better as a gunboat (which is also necessary). Swamp color of the engines should probably be changed to something biege, like Corsair fighters color.

About the Corsair Destroyer. I probably posted my opinion about its shape. Also, the windows... ship seems to be no larger than a gunboat, but unlike Zoners we already have a Corsair gunboat. And Huntress isn't a Corsair Cruiser exactly, although Corsairs sell it. Also, placing of the windows... they look a bit out of consistence on the wings, and at the very bottom of the nose. Many windows are not necessary, few in proper places is enough.

Corsair Bomber. That one is good, and you could submit it already. Only part that bothers me is the nose. Could be better if it was longer than one-seated version, but not so long and down-headed as two-seated version. Btw, it's not possible to place two pilot models inside the cockpit (some kind of hardcoded limitation), so one "seat" is enough.

I will make a few more posts regarding the new ships soon enough, but there's one thing I'd like to mention right here. I know that modelling and skinning is complicated, but it doesn't mean that no forum members except for me has a right to criticise. Apart from some obvious failures, everyone's always praising any model that's created for Discovery... this might be nice towards the modders, but without your critical opinions and suggestions those ships will never get improved any further. Which means that they will be included into the mod not in the best shape they could achieve.

Corsair bomber looks great and the Corsair cruiser just looks sooo evil ;D

Hmm, excellent work, the only thing that bugs me is the forward facing fins on the bottom of the bomber. It just seems to conflict with the rest of the ships angles.

All ships look good, but I have to agree with Igiss, the windows of both Corsair and Zoner Cruiser/Destroyers are a bit big to be a ship of its class. Still very good job.:)

it's not possible to place two pilot models inside the cockpit (some kind of hardcoded limitation), so one "seat" is enough.

You mean that with HpPilot? Just put the second pilot directly in the model, and no one would see the difference.
