I like the first pic

and out of the two guns in that pic I think the sub-d one looks better but the base could do with being a little wider

keep it coming mate

Thanks guys. Keep in mind though that I'm just at the preliminary blocking out stage. I'm eager to see it evolve too so I'm kinda jumping from one bit to the other, gently fleshing it out.

What do you think of this setup?

Nice but I think that gun on the bottom at the fornt should be a bit fatter.
2 reasons.
1, you only got two guns there so the area is very defence less.
2, It can also be used for plaenty bombardment.

Hmmm perhaps I could put a large rail gun on the belly. The reason I'm being a bit sparse with those guns on the belly is that these are just the offensive guns. I still have to implement the offensive missile launchers and there are going to be dozens and dozens of defensive weapon systems; CIWS or Goalkeeper gun systems and AA missile batteries. So the belly is not going to stay so defenceless.

As for planetary bombardment, that's where the long range rail cannons and soon-to-be long range missile tubes come in. When in orbit, the ship an assumle any angle in relation to the planet for surface bombardment. I was thinking it would position itself either head-on or as a broadside.

Nice. I like the gun designs.

**Freak** · 06-22-2008, 04:58 PM

Looks great!

Thanks guys!

Well, today I did some work on the brigde to fortify it. I made an addon armour module that allows for protective armour plates to slide up to close of and protect the brigde comprtment. I still have to detail the large fron and side plate but I'm a bit unsure wether to give it just paneling or model/texture some sort of reactive armour panels...

christ, only now did I realise that you've actually modeled the bridge, you're insane. ERA wouldn't work in space. I know there are a few other types of reactive armour, like electromagnetic. That would actually prolly work here. But yeah I'm all for reactive armour, it looks cool, lol

nice Ideas on the Armour for the bridge.

Definitely frontal!Ship is designed for it!

Great Job On Both!
