guideship for the [Angel] faction

[Jinx]

yea - skinning - i might even make an efford that time and not just slap a common UV skin over the parts ( well, that sounds downright lazy on my other ships - but for most ships it works fairly well ) -

about tentacles and half translucent parts. - in diablo 2 or other games featuring similar designs... it only works cause those parts are in fluid motion. - a static design doesn t work that way.

to be honest - for such sophisticated designs like celestial looking and ghostly shapes - the freelancer engine isn t build for ( and i m not experienced enough to create a convincing enough illusion )

about a wider cockpit - the cockpit is actually not really small - it s room for 2 people - the whole ship is quite large.... cause i d like it to have fighter agility - but gunboat class weapons ( 3 turrets ) - as well as 4 support fighter weapons. - mostly mounted to ensure a good variety of choices when it comes to guiding ( don t need to be concerned about balance - but a ship with both types, capital ship turrets and fighter mounts can simply demontrate tactics and other things better than ships with only one type )

in order to mount gunboat turrets - the ship needs to reach a specific size - so that the turrets don t look out of place.



about the colour. the cockpit is only red for the contrast. when i work with the model, i like to know where the cockpit is, cause it determines the proportions the best. - and red vs. white works well. - the final model might be a steel blue with grey areas - while the cockpit might be a turquise or a light blue.
