The chopper you see with the single ring actually has two blades, one atop each other. It is designed so that one spins one direction while the other spins the other, countering the torque.
Also the tail has the vector jets - they just dont look like jets at the moment.

It's actually called a coaxial rotor system. The Russian Kamov bureau choppers are infamous for it. They deny the necessity of a tail rotor, because of the second rotor which turns in the opposite direction (hence called a coaxial rotor) kills the gyro effect the first one produces. I would only suggest making the ring fatter and giving space between the two rotors.

EDIT: one other thing, the rotor has to be in (and above) the horizontal center of gravity of the heli, otherwise it'll be too unstable to be able to fly.

Thats a neat gun design you got there.  It definitly reminds me of P-90's, but do the spent casings edject downward like the P-90 or do they eject another way?  The reason why the P-90 is becoming a more popular submachine gun is that it can hold quite a few rounds, small and fairly lightweight, and it can be used by both right or left handed people?

Taking a break from the job hunt, I decided to whip something up to keep my 3d mind from atrophying. Took me about two hours.

You mean something like this?


I was thinking of either ditching the idea of a tail assembly (aside from rudder and eleveators) but then I remembered the craft from that arnold movie, and I figured I'd go with some kind of vectored thrust tail.

EDIT

Here's the full line up, thus far.


I want to add a transport chopper, and then I think I'm going to start up on the Warthog-esque vehicles.


and that is an Orca

Well, the thing about the tank is simply: how many different directions can you design a tank - at some point one tank is going to look like another.
The same is true of the helicopters. It isn't simply like an Orca from Command and Conquer, but it also resembles a Hornet from Halo, a Helicopter designed by the modeler Howard Day, the chopper from Starcraft 2, and a helicopter from Avatar... And fancy that - they all resemble each other.

Here's what I've got as far as small arms. From top to bottom its a Sub-machine gun, Carbine, Assault Rifle, Light Machine Gun, and Sniper Rifle. I have a few more arms I want to make, primarily a Shotgun, some sort of Beam weapon, and maybe a mini-gun or something. A rocket Launcher might be a good call, too.

Do I sense a modular interchangeable design in those?

You could make it so all use the same base with interchangeable kits.

I have a job - it just that the pay sucks. I'm trying to move up just a tad from a McJob to a real job.

Anyways - here is the progress on the models.

Just blocking out the ideas


Here's the start of an actual model.

Almost Done

I want to remake those turrets into more poly-friendly structures and get rid of the boring greebles - make something better.

As you can see, I removed the turrets - I have new versions made but not mounted.

Map these with a single 2048 x square map or a 4024 x map keep below 5 k in poly you have one hell of a popular model for a Sins  of a solar empire mod  :thumbsup:.
Sweet job on the idea keep it up.

I don't know how bad the mapping is going to be yet - but I'm well past 5k triangles. the Command Frigate is actually sitting at a total of 10k triangles (6k polies). Btw, is not 4024 its 4096. 256 > 512 > 1024 > 2048 > 4096 > 8192 (I think my huge battlestar texture was 8192 - i can't remember).

First Impressions: Tanks and Helo's would be great in a futuristic FPS - but something new and not a rehash - too well done to be in "Halo 4: We have no more ideas for new stuff". Throw the hand guns in there, too, and you've an awesome game, no doubt about it. Now all you'd need is a plot. Bravo FoaS, bravo.

Now to the frigates. Very very very first thought when they were just a brief "sketch" oh so few posts ago - something out of Babylon 5, but post Crusade in the time line. Second thought was something more useful - either a Homeworld 2 mod or the start of something for Homeworld 3, or better still, some really awsome new game!

Czar "My hat's off to the modler on these beauties!" Mohab

P.S. Frigates don't like to play solo, you know - looking forward to seeing what else of this mystery fleet you might come up with!
