' Wrote:Nice ship. But the wings... Shouldn't a spacecraft have no wings?
It looks more like a plane than a space fighter..
The earlier discussion on wings was already made. Which brings to mind things like Dagger: Should the wings be cut off, with the guns mounted internally? Or, Corsair fighters: Cut the wings and the fins off?
How about StarLancer fighters. The Coyote had a similar look to this craft here, actually. Saying the Coyote's wings should have been chopped off? Or maybe the Shroud's? Think the Mirage or Tempest should be chopped up?
Defender doesn't need those big wings on the sides. Dump them and slap the guns onto the main body. Is that it?
This game world loves it's wings. Can't just do away with them. Where would you have the cool contrails?!
EDIT: Some adjustment may or may not be needed, though. Thicken the wings- make them bulkier like in-game wings and such (the aforementioned Dagger and Defender have thick wings that don't quite look aerodynamic, but still are kinda wings, and there's also the Crusader's little wings, and, of course, the Drake and the Dragon have those big fan-like wings), or have them connect to wingtip fins or such. I'm not sure right now. Take some clues from the Pirate ships, maybe. Honestly, I think the Bloodhound and Wolfhound are ugly SoB's (heh.. well, they /are/ named after dogs). The Mule isn't too bad-looking, though.
Currently: Remastering Kiith Somtaaw's Acolyte Fighter. These Homeworld ships need some Sirius work done on them. ^.-
