Don't worry about sizing or lighting.

Those are really nice but the top down view seems a bit too light compared to the other view...good work!

[XenoTheMorph]

Well... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I do like them, especially the 'wing' design. Though maybe you should vary the 'wing' shape/size a little more between the ships, for some reason it makes them look to similar to each other (well when there are three of 'em http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif) even with the 'connector' & 'bridge' changes. Possibly later size differences would clear that up though?

I've gotta say looking good! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

I've always liked that kind of design! Kind of a "pincer" shape.

I would agree with the other comment about changing the wing shape some...perhaps every 3rd change in size (not that I'm any kind of authority on such things).

But, as a general comment, I think they look good!

[TerranC]

Only look good? Darn philistines; they look great, I mean really great. I didn't even know such parts existed in doga. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/shock.gif

Great work Atrocities, but do slow down; It is your birthday after all! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Cyclons! First impression.

Yeah, I like them. Only complaint is that funny yellow thing. It seems to serve no purpose and doesn't fit into the rest.

[Atrocities]

Thank you all for taking the time to comment. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif I agree that the wings should be varied. The design was inspired by the Tigerclaw from the Wing Commander movie.

The parts do not exist in DOGA as parts, I had to make them out of other parts. I can send you the DOGA file if your curios how I did it. You can do what I do, and export parts of the ship as parts. However the color remains the same. I think you can run it through the part converter, but I have never used that tool.

[Atrocities]

So should I contiue to develop this set or not?

[se5a]

hell yea.

[Mephisto]

By all means proceed, it looks very nice!

[minipol]

They remind me of one of the type of fighters from Wing Commander, the Dralthi (http://www.wcnews.com/ships/wc1dralthi.shtml)

[XenoTheMorph]

I think a full set would be brill! Keep 'em coming http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/beerglass.gif

[geoschmo]

Your work just keeps getting better and better AT. Very very nice.

[sachmo]

The funny yellow thing is the bridge to the ship, Narf. So it does serve a purpose to the crew... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/laugh.gif

That portion of the ship reminds me of US battleships/cuisers/any sea going vessal with their bridges...

[gregebowman]

They look great to me. Keep it up. Can't wait to see the rest of the set.

[Voidhawk]

They made me think of Cylons too. Which is NOT a Bad Thing, I might add.

Love 'em, personally. Definitely a set worth finishing!

The yellow part still looks silly. A ful set would be great, just get rid of that yellow part. Assume they have viewscreens or something, maybe. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/smile.gif
