' Wrote:I agree, very nice. We'd get every noob in the game with one if we don't make it specific to a faction though.
Exactly... and after a few weeks of "wow"...we will get tired of the looks.... but if it's Phantoms only.. then we will get like "psst, have you seen that Phantom GB... that thing is awesome."
Igiss says: Martin, you give them a finger, they bite off your arm.
I think we know who we need to assign to make the Phantoms an entire line of ships... Probably only need a VHF, Bomber and that there sexy? gunboat, Since I dont recall EVER seeing a phantom in a light fighter... How much do people get paid to create ships now-a-days? If anyone wants to see the ship I am working on, Ill upload a pic to a thread shortly.
While being quite funny, your sig was the biggest one i've ever seen so far. No more than 700x250 please. ~utrack http://pastebin.com/SYQXBufs
first of all, - i love how you model your ships - and you re awesome with textures, legenation. - but other than that, i don t like the ship much and do not think it fits in - ships are slightly modelled after parent sources like eagles, serpents etc. - but this is going a bit too far for my liking.
i know there are statues in bars and cutscenes - but i don t think the shipmodels go very far into that direction. - closest to a detailed "model" is the patriot, i think - which is a falcon / eagle, closely followed by the eagle with its hunchback shoulders and the dragon that looks like a serpents leaping out of the water. - but they are very very abstract.
about phantoms - i thought only NPC factions get their original ships .. ... but i just remembered that the coalition gets their ships, too.
I wont make critics about the quality (excellent work), but the Skull is to big and the proportions of the jaws are wrong. Sorry, but the skull doesn't look good, also with this bright skin.
Make the skin darker and the eye holes a, nearly black, dark red. Later red running lights inside will spend the right atmosphere. Move the teethes of the upper jaw closer to the nose and make the lower jaw stronger.
