Old fleet rehash. Yet another creative rant by the FoaS
« on: July 02, 2007, 11:52:00 pm »
Just a preliminary design

I am pleased with how much better it looks compared to the old stuff.

Blech.

Anyways, yeah, so This is just a prelim in order to get a feel for this particular design ethos. I doubt this will make it as a final model, but it was a good technique builder.
What's cool too is besides the fins, the entire model is solid, nothing overlaps no open holes, no intersections.

Please release these. SFC needs Star Bases for the non-federation races desperately.

despite the popular notion - these arent starbases (though, i imagine if you really want it to you can make it one).

I would prefer someone else texture them, because I think that an outside perspective could bring a totally different depth to a model. In other words variety via collaborations are great.
That being said, is there anyone who wants to texture these bad boys?

Oh, its a ship.

Think along the lines of the Goa'Uld from Stargate, or the Triaxians from SFB. They are radially symmetrical and don't have a "Forward" they kind "Slide" in any direction basically.

That was my first thought.  Atlantis.

I was dollowing this when you posted it over at Sci-fi Meshes you also had a more textured version what happened to it?
People always said they wanted the government to listen to them and now the government is listening, taking notes and names...and coming to see you soon!

America-Not the land of the free anymore...

Remember the axiom of big government bureaucrats: If it moves, tax it. If it keeps moving, regulate it. When, finally, under the crushing weight of taxes and regulation, it stops moving, subsidize it.

Wouldn't it be interesting to have this ship flying at an angle, rather than flat and on a plain?

Would be cool if it could rotate too, but ahh well :)
