The Empire of Man (Coming Along nicely :))

[Starhawk]

Hey all this is the first of my EOM ships for my mod, it is a light cruiser and represents the basic theme that the EOM will have (a very modular look) that is pretty simplisticly built.

The black 'dots' are actually laser ports jsyk.

No comments no questions http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[El_Phil]

Is that your code for a bump or a request for no comments on the model?

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

errrrmmmm..... Looks quite good already, though a little more detail would be appreciated http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Actually it was a statement "No comments or questions" had been made yet for the 5 downloads I kinda figured at least 1 person woulda said somethin heh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif and a good excuse for a bump muahahahahah!

Here it is with a little more detail http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Hmmm, bit too bricky for my tastes. Now I can see the logic of a brick design, if your not going through the atmosphere why bother with space wasting curves?

Nice glowing engines though.

[NullAshton]

It needs guns. No ship is complete without guns.

Well it's going to look a little smoother when complete but yeah there is really no need for "aerodynamics" in space eh http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Those black 'dots' are it's laser batteries, think gun ports http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Starhawk]

And still more details!

[El_Phil]

Keep it up and after a few more revisions I might change my mind about bricky looking ships.

[Nodachi]

Looking good! One small thing though, the edges seem too sharp. May I suggest a small chamfer on them?

[Starhawk]

Sorry my brain ain't quite working so great today-hard college days this week- what does Chamfer mean?

Heh well see sometimes "Bircky" can show with very little detail how "simple" a ship's design is.

[Starhawk]

Still more details http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Ooh I Like that one.....

[narf poit chez BOOM]

It's good, except for the pink glow. Doesn't really fit a warship.

[Starhawk]

"It's not pink It's Lightish red!" Private Doughnut
"Dude there's a word for lightish red" Griff
"PINK!!!" Griff and (Can't remember his name)

Seriously though it's not supposed to look pink considering the texture I used was the dark red lol http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif but I'll go fix it.

[Atrocities]

Looking good Starhawk.... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Starhawk]

Ladies gentlemen and those of unisex persuasion I present the (hopefully) final rendition of the EOM light cruiser!

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Much better.

[atari_eric]

I would actually texture the gold sections - maybe a gold-tinted brushed metal look?

[Starhawk]

Actually it's just plain yellow not supposed to be gold http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif too much shineyness!

[Starhawk]

And here is the battleship! (it was first going to be the cruiser but it just struck me as BATTLESHIP)

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Oh wow..... Oh wow..... Oh wow.....

These ships look great!

[Starhawk]

For your viewing pleasure a small EOM patrol squadron http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[narf poit chez BOOM]

More pretties!

[Starhawk]

Lads and Lassies the EOM cruiser! http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

[Starhawk]

Hey all here is YET ANOTHER rendition of the Imperial Cruiser http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I changed the engine glow to this on ALL ships check it out!

[El_Phil]

So how long until thoose engines explode then? They really don't look healthy... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Starhawk]

Meh I got sick of a monocolor engine block http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

Anyway here is a pic of the cruiser from all angles http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif (most angles don't go complaining that I don't have it at a 45 degree or anything like that or I WILL beat you to death http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif)

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

Ok SH I know, but..... an isometric view next to the side/top/bottom/etc views would be nice http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

[Starhawk]

lol I knew someone would point out at least ONE angle that I didnt get http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif
