ice-dragon your plans for the gunstar are they a full redo or a couple of changes to the design, the way the cygnus mk2 came out left me amazed will your gunstar look like that or a similar look to the original design???

Thanks XRaiderV1.7 ( sorry for the late replay

)

I was only going to couple of changes to the design but I seen to have started to do a full re-build

I have keep most of the basic style but gone about it in a different way

Here is a render for you to have a look at.

I'm starting to like the shape now so I think I'll panel it next and start to add some more detail to it and see what happens

Looking good dude. And I love your cygnus!! The gunstar is looking good, but a few points? The engines look too similar to the parts at the side imo, and I think the profile of it is too similar all the way along. It's almost one shape. I like the design though, just maybe needs some tweaking.

Keep up the great work!! (I need to get back to it...! SHould I give the hub a bash?)

I have been rebuilding this ship over and over the last couple of days but I now think I'm getting some where

here is the latest render.

What do you guys think?

I have been looking over my MKII Cygnus and I think I have made the docking bays on the inside far to big

so I'll be redoing them in the next couple of days.

Comments are welcome

keep the oversized bay version as a sub-model.

I like it I-D.

I really like the shape of and noticed the influence of first model..

here are some ideas..

Try giving the head a bit more 'weight' i.e. the central bit looks too thin.
The fixed 'large cannons' provides us with a hint of the Pegasus - why not integrate the guns in the front head section? non movable...

I do like the shape of the new wing /gun sections... if you do add the guns to the head it would appear more balanced.

What sprung to my mind is that there's a possibility that the Cygnus and Gunstar might be doubling their roles...
The Cygnus defender appears to have the ability to give other ships the broadside.. - spot on..
so why not make the gunstar different by making it front attack only ? (less capable since it has no movable turrets but make it faster and with more turning ability? You could then only add flak cannons as on your original model.

just some ideas...

yes I'm aware of that....

My advice (whether I-D would like to use it) is to make the gunstar differnet with fixed guns... and no rotating rail guns which he once placed on his original Gunstar model...
