New Ship Set Concept

[Atrocities]

I am kinda fool around with two new sets. Both are in the early stages of design so please keep that in mind.

And the Second design type

And before you say it, yes I know what it looks like, but it won't when it is done.

I am sure everyone will be glowing. Of course they both look great. The subtle color variations/texturing on the dark "enterprise" is great.

The number of glowing bits (exhaust ports, shield generators, whatever) on the green ship is interesting as well.

Impressive as always

I like.

I agree with others...the glowing is nice BUT, the second shipset seems a clear winner. Nice!

Thanks guys. I am just fiddling around with design concepts and such so don't expect anything spactacular.

Here are three more that I am toying with.

Those look good, too! For some reason, I just think the first set you posted has the least potential. (OK, shoot me... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif )

[Kamog]

Looks great! I really like how the bright lights on the ships look. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

[Ragnarok-X]

yeah definitly nice !!

[Dragonswrd]

I agree with the others. The 2 dark colored ones are the best.

[Baron Munchausen]

The mottled green texture on the second ship type is very nice. It looks very organic. I'd like to see a "Vorlon" shipset with that texture.

The later post with the 'light saber' equipped ships looks a little bit too much like toys. I dunno if it's from the surfaces being too shiny or the glowing 'light saber' bars themselves but they just don't look realistic.

Funny - that third set is my favorite of the three. I've nothing against glowing engines, and it's a new hull concept as opposed to the first two.

[Atrocities]

Thanks all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

1: wow !

2: WOW !

3: WOOOOW !!!

Once more the bar is raised. Love the glow http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif

Very nice AT, I like the glow effect. (Especially on the enterprise looking set.)

It makes me think that the shipset could be used to do a mod where there are several branches of the federation that break off and enter a sort of revolution. the ships would be the same, but each faction would have different glowing colors. (ie Orange like you have in your sample pics, blue, red, yellow, purple and green etc.)

There must be something good about your ships when they spark my dull immagination http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

Keep up the fantastic work. Cheers! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

You could try wrapping bands around the glowing engine exhaust ports to minimize the light saber effect.

Third is interesting.

I like the Dark Enterprise (makes me think of Mirror, Mirror)

The green race reminds me of the newer Romulan ships

Great looking

[Atrocities]

Excellent suggestions. Thanks.

[Stone Mill]

Dude... that glowing effect will kick butt against the black backdrop. You are on to something here.

Sweeet.

[Ragnarok]

Those are nice sets, AT.

I especialy like the 3rd one. It is unique in every way.

[Raging Deadstar]

I agree with everyone here.

Katchoo used to do this with his doga sets and they were amongst my favourites. These look just as good.

Very Nice work, for a retired shipset builder. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

[Captain Kwok]

I've freed Atrocities from his STmod obligations for the next few days so he better start posting some more of his Glowworm shipset... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/tongue.gif

[gregebowman]

Great looking ships. Can't wait to see the final products. Wish I had the time and the skill to do something like that.

[Atrocities]

I have hit a creative block. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

[General Woundwort]

Maybe you could post what you've completed so far, and we could offer suggestions...
