Ohai, gaiz. A few months back Thexare asked me to look into making some kind of Outcast Carrier. I've had a mostly complete model sitting in my HDD for a couple of months, but it was having some arguments with the Symmetry modifier (resulting in multiple crashes and several hours of lost work). Those bugs have since been worked out and it is now a stable 3ds model. I've refrained from texturing it because I want his opinion (and others' opinions, which are secondary), and I still have to finish that goshdarn Outcast Dreadnought, which is fully skinned but is having some problems carrying said textures over to Milkshape (Consultation with Yuri on such matters is roughly scheduled for next week). I figure once I have everything figured out (it's Vista's fault. It's always Vista's fault) I'll slap a nice Borderworlds skin on it to match the Battleship and Destroyer and everything will be sexable. Stats are irrelevant, as are guns (there will be enough hardpoint spots for however many the balancers deem necessary) and anything unrelated to the quality of the model itself should be discussed elsewhere. Tell me what you think.
FOR THE RECORD: Yes, it looks like the other Outcast capships. That's the point. That's ALWAYS the point. Get used to it.
AND READ THE WHOLE POST BEFORE YOU TELL ME "IT'S NICE AND YOU WOULD FLY IT, LOL," OKAY? KTHANKS.

Engines are looking really decent, same with the fighter bays. Although I think that the amount of those 'rungs' on the top of the front section is a bit excessive. Maybee you should cut a few of them out at some point and add in an axillary bridge or weapons control station or something.
' Wrote:I am not against seeing new model around, I'd like to land some NOVAS at it, but .. Carrier? Why do we need carriers if they don't carry anything (or it's going to be changed?)?
Yes, because technical limitations have to stop RP. (sarcasm.) But then, as the guy who requested it, me disagreeing shouldn't surprise you.
Tell me, would you object if you knew that I also think the Corsairs should have one? After all, both factions are well-known for the skill of their fighter pilots, a carrier makes more sense than a dreadnought to me.
More relevantly, I don't really have a lot to say that hasn't been said in Skype. I'll almost definitely be able to comment more when it's textured.
It looks like the bow has a lot of unused space. That whole overhang that's just jutting out. Couldn't that have a purpose? Antennae? Communications dishes? Maybe a flight control bridge or something? Just find something to make that space seem more useful.

And I bet those of the three houses that arent Liberty are crying their eyes out, being outgunned so profusely by pirate factions ._.
To be honest, I actually really like the model. It looks eppyish with the sword/member thing going on, and I really love the engine section. What I dont like is the big maltese cross on the back, but I dont like the bullhead on the Corsair gunboat either, so its a matter of taste there I suppose.
The bottom also looks awefully flat. And square. I don't like that bit >_>
I... actually don't have much more to add than that. There's nothing that looks off with it, nothing that I can see that off the top of my head that would improve it... it... looks nice.
I do want to see the fighter bays and engines textured, though. I'm not convinced that they'll "work", for lack of better words, but they might.
Nice job. At least when you create ships that end up utterly spammed it's pretty spam.
