Eppy's Current Projects

[Jinx]

what i like about the current battleship: - it looks very borderworld based, - for one, due to the "easy" shape and modular appearence, and the length of it of course. - it has hard edges like other BW ships and looks somewhat "epical" - that means, very big.

what i dont like about the old model is that it looks downsized. when compared to some other ships of its class, it looks frail. it should prolly be twice as long to look good next to other battleships, making it impossible to fly. - i only had one fight involving an outcast BB.. and the poor pilot wouldn t hit my BHG bomber even once. so i guess the length makes it hard to aim at targets that are spinning around it closely.

what i like about the new model: - it looks more compact and keeps the modular look. its not really BW anymore, but thats fine.... since its not BW anyway. - it appears to introduce new shape elements, cuts / round edges to the series of ships. - all in all, it really looks like a mk2 version... an updated version.

what i don t like much about it: - the rather innovative engines located on the sides in the middle section are gone and replaced by a very conservative engine in the back. - thats fine, but its nothing special. - it leaves AoMs dragon BB to be the only one with those cool side engines - and we know that his BB is underused, too.
when its smaller than the current one... it ll loose even more armour, due to balancing - but at least gets some more strafing, i guess. - if all the pyramid structure is meant to be habitational sections, this ship is a flying city. ( are there enough outcasts to man such a ship ? )

all in all, a very nice model - it "looks" better than the old one, but hasn t got its uniqueness. details are fine allready - and i daresay its easier to base the dreadnaught on that model than on the old one.
