As you may or may not be able to guess from my Forum picture, I absolutely love playing Saishi. The only thing that bugs me about it is that it is arguably the ugliest ship in the mod. It's flat, has nothing interesting for the eye, and overall isn't nice despite the concept being very cool.
I decided to work on the Saishi model that is currently in the game and see what I could do with it.
It turns out that , after redoing the engine-bottom section entirely, redoing the cylinder in the middle, redoing the cockpit, redoing basically everything, the ship actually turned out to (in my opinion) look very decent.
Keep in mind that I tried to stick to the original concept, so I didn't actually change the body shape all too much (I edited it here and there) and just tried to make it look prettier and to get rid of the remnants of things that reminded me of 2009 times.
(Also this is already a bit older and I showed it to some people and just now figured I might show it to everyone for feedback).
Improved model, but I'd rather this atrocity was removed from the mod altogether. This damn thing laughs at anything resembling proper balance. Cut this tumor straight off.
I would really like to see a redone Renzu line based on Sasaki's Wasupu which I lost in a hard drive crash. This is what it looked like as I was mid way through skinning it:
As for this model, its obviously much better made, but yeah, it's still gonna be a balance nightmare.
I have Sasaki's Ki, Saishi, Touketsu, and a Renzu bomber I made based off of them back in 2010 if you'd like to take a look at those models? I'm just missing the Wasupu, which has really put me off from finishing them, and at this point they could probably use an overhaul.
