these ones.. seem a bit IMGish, not only that I don't like them over the existing ships. The original SCRA shipline is unique, the shape and feel of them is fitting, considering how different the SCRA is to the alliance.
they are awesome models, maybe give them to another factions with some alterations, but i dont think the existing SCRA ships need replacing.
These are good models but I've gotta admit that I loke the current models a lot more, however they're huge.
I'd say keep em but resize them down 20-25%.
My first impression, these ships look as if they came exactly from Starlancer. If I didn't know you built them, I might have actually thought they came straight from the game.
Unfortunately that's a bad thing...
Freelancer and Starlancer have two very different styles of ship. Starlancer craft look kinda similar to WWII aircraft, but in space, I think. But they don't look anything like ships in Freelancer.
To be honest, I like these far more than the current SCRA ships, which I've never been the biggest fan of (the upright design just doesn't appeal to me). However, I think the opinions of the people who are actually active in the SCRA should hold more weight than mine.
There are too many different Opionions. I would say you open a Poll Yue.
In my Opinion I like the old ones and the new ones. For the two you just posted I'd say you re-do the Engine and the Cockpit. The Cockpit looks too long for me. And the Engine just looks wrong.
"Who is it doing this synthetic type of alpha beta psychedelic funkin'?"
The redesign is requested because we're all PvP whoars in the SCRA. Yup.
No, actually, the current ships are about as big as a barn, and can be hit by a blind guy telling a deaf man where to aim. The vertical element is the wings, and that's fine, but the wings not only give the ship a large hit-plane from the front and back, but also from the sides. There's really no way NOT to hit a Coalition ship, and it shows from the current engagements.
Any self-respecting military would redesign their ships once flaws are found, and flaws were found in the current design. You will notice, however, that we STILL FLY THE CURRENT SHIPS, not going out and getting other ships to alleviate the disadvantage.
they look good - but they look a little "unreal" - as was pointed out before... slightly cartoonish. - the effect is caused by the high contrast of white and dark outlines. and the overall look as if they are made of plastic or rather thin and cheap metal.
they look like i think ships would look that were pimped up - but beneath the hull they d be rather cheaply manufactured. - that doesn t mean they don t look stylish - it just means that ... when compared to for example the titan or even the eagle, they look like they d fly like a leaf in a thunderstorm.
quality wise - they look as good as the current ones - very nice that is.
balance related:
ships that are much smaller are troublesome. - of course everyone wants small and agile ships, cause we all know that agility and size equals survivability. - ( more than armour does ) - the current design is large. - but they are also rather heavy. - for their size, they are fairly agile and pack a nice powercore.
ships that were smaller would need to downsize most stats. - the current designs look a bit like they could be the size of the viper - which is considerably smaller. but compared to Dooms viper mk2, they look much lighter, too. - even the VHF looks lighter than the viper.
what the coalition can not expect is to keep the current stats on their ships in the body of smaller and more agile ships. - and i think we might also abandon the idea of giving factions that face more opponents automaticly higher stats ( no, i m not saying that it has happened )
compared to the other designs of the coalition:
they go well with the gunboat ( storm ) - and not so well with the destroyer ( typhoon )
i do like the current ships more though - they are more unique and all in all - better looking. - even if their pvp stats are worse ( if they are ). personally, i d go more for the current ships, cause they re somewhat cooler... but then i don t need to fight in or against them....
