Civilian/Pirate/Smuggler ship (withdrawn)

[Trogdor]

The battle transport looks good, but I still don't like the windows.

Well it's the vanilla Liberty window texture; I know it's not the best, but I don't think it looks so bad. It can be changed anyway, but for now I don't have a better option.

I'm just giving my opinion. You don't need to scramble for excuses. :p

The LF doesn't look like a fighter at all, it looks like... a strange freighter. >_> And it doesn't resemble the other snubs in the line at all, either.

Yes, the LF is weird It's supposed to be. The freighter impression is because the video doesn't show its true size: it's VERY small (look at the pilot seat in the bubble cockpit). Since it's so small, it has only 2 weapon slots, like the Arrow.

Still, even given that it's a small ship, it's bulky in strange ways, it doesn't look streamlined at all, like one would expect a fighter of any sort to be. I mean, I know you're going for a patriot-shaped ship here, but.. idk, it just looks like a tiny freighter, to me.

The heavy fighter and bomber look good, but I think the wings look very wimpy compared to the size/thickness of the fuselage.

It's space, wings are not really wings, they're only... uh, appendages Mostly to show the logo, and to host the heavy weapon pylons in the bomber.

Yes that's true, however bulk = more material = more armor strength. If they're holding your primary weapons, you don't want enemy fire to punch right through or snap them off like twigs, do you? Plus, again, aesthetically, you've got a t-rex here. Big body, tiny little arms.

The liner... looks... uninspired. It's a 2x4 with 3 hockey pucks stuck in it. x_x

Yes, it's not pretty, and that was intentional. It's not a luxury liner, but just a ferry. A big utilitarian ship whose only purpouse is to move amounts of people from A to B. It's a remarkably low-tech design.

Still, it's very low-detail. I mean, look at ships like the armored transport, prison liner, slave liner, some of the mining ships. Just because a ship isn't meant to look pretty, doesn't mean it shouldn't be detailed/interesting to look at.

The texturing looks nice on all the ships tho.

Thanks I'm actually surprised by the praise, I always thought my textusing skills were way below average.

Well I've seen worse and I didn't want my post to be a big downer. :p
