' Wrote:the current carrier is based on my taste - but i m aware that it doesn t quite fit in. - it was mostly done to quickly replace the battlestar advanced.
i don t mind replacing a ship with a better one. - but quite frankly, i d expect something better from Luis. - this ship looks about as uninspired as the one i did... and also quite low on general details.
by the looks its a bit too much looking like the starlancer era.
the following is all about taste - so there s no good / bad, right / wrong:
- the tail is rather strange. its simply scaled down to a spikey bit - but onion shaped instead of rounded.
- the hangars are huge - but only two blocks. - especially the front and side view displays no creative lining. - from the side, they are straight boxes ... and from the front, they may rather be bend down at the sides to create a / \ shape rather than a - - shape. it would help breaking the horizontal / vertical lines that dominate the model too much
- the difference to the current carrier is too little. - if there s a replace, it might as well be something really new based on the zoner lines, - the aquilon is not really zonerish ( it wasn t sure what faction it would go to at the time it was made )
all in all - luis has made some excellent designs already - but imo, this is not one of them. - this comes mostly from the proportions that i don t like.
its extremely wide for its hight - and appears too short somehow. - as if it had run into a wall. - if the there was more detail added to increase the hight of the ship.... and it was elongated by at least 20% - it might look much better, imo
Yes, you have a point Jinx. I still can come up with a whole different design, but this design came from the current one - which why I did not change most of the current design to this one. However, being that you said that the current model is done "quickly" or mindless rush work - which I was surprise from you when I read that part and frowned - it needs replacement and a better hitbox - PLEASE.
I have proven to myself that I found out that I keep replacing others models - yet not finishing it. Which I need to stop. Being that you design this ship yourself, Jinx - I'll leave it to your hands.
' Wrote:Priorities, my good man. I know you only model what you want, but it doesn't hurt me trying - so check this thread, if you really want to raise the quality of this mod.
If I only have the chances or get the people I have in skype that can hitbox/animate/placing ships in-game - yes, I will start doing it. But most of the people I contacted are either busy, or just don't reply back. So I just give up. I WOULD love to help and be part of the whole Dev Team, but with the lack of communication or "How to ..." thread - I am useless. Only thing I can do is model ships/station/texture.
