Well, both Halo and Homeworld were my primary inspirations with a bit of B5 sprinkled in, so that's really good :-). I think, though, that as I am developing this universe it's going to get a bit farther from all three - but not by a lot.

Yes, the frigates do not play alone - but first comes the fact that I have to finish this guy - then I'll be working on the other ships, especially since I know exactly how I will do them - mostly.

Anyways: Unwrapping - the buzzkill of all modeling projects.


EDIT: Unwrapping is done - looks like its going to be 5 textures + 1 for the turrets.

Those are really stunning looking ships!

Have you ever thought of modding this game? http://www.kerberos-productions.com/forum/

Sword of the Stars also supports turrets and other toys. 

If you surf the forums there - there is a lot of interest in a star trek mod for it.

But no matter what I will be looking forward to adding these into OP!

I haven't had a desire to mod different games - its a whole new learning curve that I am not really interested in learning: it would detract from the actual ship design process.


I think I have the right look down for the armor.

Textures are pretty much locked in.

Is that a progenitor color scheme I see?

And any intention to make these ships/vehicles playable in any form? If Angels Fall First could do it...

Yeah - thats how I spotted the error on your chart. I always liked the homeworld color schemes - I tried out the Higaraan, the Progen, and even the Taiidan color schemes - which I liked a lot. The Bentusi one worked with a blue trim instead of the white, too.

But of course, I see B5... (sigh).  Would make a nice Omega/Nova refit design with ISA tech..

Not sure of intent, but the B5-ish-ness is still there - the "A" on the fowrard lower hull, similar to the "A" on Apollo and Agamemnon. It isn't entirely B5 EA schemed, as an "E" would fit the pattern more readily, but you get the idea. "A" on the Edinburgh appears to indicate class rather than name, as the "A-015" on the aft hull would (to me) indicate that this is the 15th A-hull to leave the yards.

the "A" was pretty much what I was thinking, yeah. Either that or they will have different letters based on what "flight" they are - ie: the pack leaders will probably have a different letter, etc. I don't have a concise numbering system, yet - 015 just rolled of the fingers well. I'll come up with a system as I go.

Here she is in prototype orange for testing trials.

As you can see I ditched the Thor's Hammer insignia in favor of a flag. The flag is supposed to be reminiscant of the UN emblem, but integrates the astronomical symbol for our sun instead of just the planet. I want to texture in more detail to the different greeble sections, but not tonight - my head is hitting the keyboard.

I'm happy to see that color chart is getting some use! And thanks for pointing that color error out, btw.

I also like that circular structure at the back. It used to be on the early versions of the Hiigaran carrier and I was sad to see it go (sad to see the antenna also go).

Finally I think any mesh of Homeworld and Babylon 5 will result in greatness, since both mythologies were excellent.

Holy crap!

I thought I posted it, but apparently it didn't stick: She's done.

I like it in that Orange color
Though a Red or Green would probably work too.

I like both, and yes, a green works well, too.



Another frigate - this one isn't as flexible as the Edinburgh, but rather has much more in the way of frontal firing arcs.

Texturing has begun on the new frigate. I think the name "Oroborus" will stick.

Awesome designs. I would make them gunned down compared to trek and more fragile. Maybe even just disruptors, drones, and P3s with no shields. Just a bit, but not a lot of armor.

Hell no. These things have shields out the wazoo. Thats what the panels are for. I think, so far, its going to be ADDs for the defensive turrets, P2s for the primary turrets (note that some of them have 2 barrels). Drones, obviously for missiles. Disruptors for another type of cannon (which I haven't made, yet), and probably a Mauler for the front forward-facing cannon (ESG-Lance is too short-ranged).
