the tundra

[Jinx]

zapp asked for a model of the tundra - along with adjustments to its stats...
here is what i got so far...

the ship is still mostly a lib cruiser ( completely rebuilt, cause i couldn t use the original model ) - there are tubes and "flesh" parts all around the ship. - the skin will include flesh patches and breaches. - but it will only show few "flesh" parts compared to its whole size. - much of the nomad parts are an intraskeleton that is not yet engulfed in flesh and the tubes.

the forward cannon is replaced by a more organic version ( but the liberty cannon is supposed to stay ) - the engine / reactor section of the original cruiser is mostly crippled - and is gonne be driven by a nomad drive ( means - it won t show the liberty impulse engine effect - but the light blue/white smokes of a nomad drive )

if someone has constructive ideas how an infested cruiser should rather look like ( unless they are totally difficult ideas ) - i m up for feedback. - however, the model is made in metaseq - and i m not really sure i can apply the original "nomad" texture to it, cause nomad ships are autodesk models and not .cmp.


right now - zapp asked for a change to a battlecruiser type. - i m not really in favour of that too much - but with certain restrictions and limitations to its abilities it can be done. - after all, this ship is SMALL and has a terribly efficient forward gun ( a feature that no other battlecruiser shares ) - with a 3.6 million powerplant, the ship could practicly spam all turrets + the gun all day long.


*edit: i can put "flesh" onto the skeleton - but since i cannot apply the same textures... i d have to go with substitute blue skins - which only look fine from afar, - but from close up... they d look alien to the nomad skins. - so if possible - no fleshy parts.
