GS-R826-DETT/V1 "CS Abdicant Seraphine" SRP Ship Progress thread

[Nodoka Hanamura]

I wanted to show off me and Nerva's progress on the Seraphine - I was mainly responsible for the design concept, Nerva merely put it into a model - Feel free to check out the three-point view of the ship as it is now:





Any suggestions or comments are highly appreciated - And if you want to look at the model in progress, you can view it here on p3d.in: https://p3d.in/2HEjO/clean

Love the side and the back hangars, not so sure about the front ones. And maybe an satellite dish behind the bridge, like the Algos Destroyer from EVE online.

Shameless bumping this.

I actually have a plan to have the comms antenna from the Zoner Whale added to the area just before the bridge and engines. The front and rear "hangars" are supposed to be runways. I'm considering having one runway removed, but I don't know right now, to be completely honest.

I strongly dislike the fact that despite this clearly being a kitbash, scales of either one or both of the kitbashed ships have been changed, which makes absolutely no sense. If parts are going to change scale, then it should be an original design. You can't justify saying "well we modified the Shukensha and the Aquilon and stuck them together" when the new ship has some pieces of one that are correctly scaled, and others that are not.

[Nodoka Hanamura]

I can see your concerns and honestly, yes, it is a kitbash, but I am working on more original changes and revisions to the ship. Namely removing the gaudy heat sinks at the bow of the ship, smoothing out and extending the old bridge (the new one being at the front of the engine shielding areas and a few others. As for the justifying saying that we modified the two ships, some components may come from it directly, others being custom components using a similar design, for instance, the engines and their shielding on top of the hull.
