FL MOD(EL)MAKING: TOOLS, RESOURCES, TUTORIALS AND MY SHIPS (OLD)

I am on discord: Roal-Yr#5994, I don't log on forum more than a few times a year.

I am not making ships for FL anymore, I am making my own space game instead:

https://p3d.in/Yq0Ff - 1.0 - Battle transport.

I don't know, shape looks really bad. Storta looks well, with this platish shape, but this thing looks giant and fat somehow.

https://p3d.in/nxsfy - 2.0 - Armored transport.

That looks nice.

Maybe the Battletransport could be less wide and a bit longer? Like common transports? Just a bit in each direction?

Aren't transports like that? If you have ideas - please post them. I won't be guessing what was that you have been imagining and will proceed with this one and you will end up flying one. Or not.

I could squeeze it a bit. Will give it a try.

Well, we have Bizon, Akegata, Uruz and Corsair train as the closest samples I believe. As Skorak said it kinda needs to be longish, but with BW textures and specific details.

Other option is make it Whalish(gmg or zoner), omicronish type of transport if the aim is to make it more unique.

The armoured transport is spot on, good solid Outcast feel with a pretty fearsome looking front profile.

The battle transport has a decent set of features, especially the battering ram looking front, but to my eyes is a little too rectangular and a few more engines than appears necessary. I'd suggest more of a protruding front and perhaps condensing the four middle engines into two larger ones. Another idea could be to make the cargo section into a hold rather than boxes and have the rear section with a ramp looking texture at the back.

The light transport looks nice.

But the BT could be having balance problems later on. Dont get me wrong, it looks good, but in the games current meta, its too wide and flat

[Demonic]

Hm... the BT, while having quite nice features and spot on textures is... still looking a little bit flatty. I'd say perhaps try what skorak Said, and perhaps add a few more things like the ram in front, to reduce that.... flatty look. Hm... just thought of this... how about keeping the back cca the same width, but decrese the width gradually to the front? So you get something like sorta letter "A" shape? Or perhaps keep the width at the back and 1/4 leght, than gradually decrese it to... maybe 2/3 of the width over a small portion of its's length, and keep the rest at the 2/3 width...

I hope I described it in such a way it's understandable.
