First the Huron, now these. Why do you torment us with these titilating previews and not follow through with them? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/image...s/rolleyes.gif

Yes, yes, they're great. So what must we do to get you to finish them?!?

Re: New Ships
 

If they don't have a name yet, I nominate "Alkari" in honor of the friendly bird guys from MOO1/2...

Then again, blue doesn't quite seem the Alkari's color...

Re: New Ships
 

Nothing wrong with honoring the "Akari" from MOO series!

The designs are looking really great. If I had to offer any suggestions, it would be on a personal preference. And that is to use a darker more gunmetal kind of blue. Might look good with the orange and yellow highlights.

But that's just a personal preference...I like "my" ships looking kinda mean.

Good job on the design, though. First thought in my mind was "batlike".

Re: New Ships
 

anyone remembers Labyrinth movie? the bird guy is mym first association with those ships http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

very well done Atrocities.

Re: New Ships
 

Is it possible to adjust the wings so they are slanted either above or below the ship's horizontal axis? I think that might look cool.

I also think you need something in the central area of the two larger ships to detract them from looking too much like WWII fighters.

I also recommend a dark green texture (similiar to your Hirogen ships) as I think they would suit the whole 'avian' race concept better. Perhaps a texture that has a small 'feather' texture imprinted on it?

Just some constructive criticism, but good start and keep up the hard work!

Re: New Ships
 

Kinda look like rays to me...looks to be another nice set on the way. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif If it takes on an avian flavor, I also agree w/ MoO's Alkari.

Re: New Ships
 

the big, clumsy one that followed the girl around. the one who gave her the apple.

Re: New Ships
 

Thanks for the comments guys, but the race is not a bird race. Although, it could become one.

Thanks for the suggestions and feed back.
