New ship (opinions, anyone?)

Very nice, but just one thing about the dome/cockpit: In the originial I thought that that big sphere was going to the the ship's cockpit and that the ship was going to be a fighter. Now, you have added texture to the "sphere" and added what I think is the "bridge window" now it seems to be some sort of starship. So it's probably not a fighter, given fighters neet a lot more visibility (like all-around). It is a agile warship, you know like on the border of heavy fighter/light warship? Just my thoughts.

God bless,

i agree, definately in the light warship category. (random thought, looks kind of like an azdara warship that touched a vandegraph (sp) generator, and no little bits stick out everywhere). maybe a little more contrast on the grayscale shading to bring out details when pixied. (turned into a sprite, picked the phrase up somewhere else)

Call it a Falcon and make it a competitor or successor to the Kestrel if in EV (just my ˘2).

Diddly,

If you have a relatively fast comp, try putting some cool light effects on it. Also the cockpit sux, so try to improve that (and do learn to use the shapes system. it REALLY makes modelling faster and easier). Other than that, it's pretty nice.

Wow! That is a neat ship! Could I use it in a plug I'm making? I'll put you in the credits, and thank you profusely. The plugins name is "Felis" and it would help it if it had good graphics.

Diddly,

If you just ditched the stretched sphere that sticks out in the front (the furthest forward part), I think it would look waayy better.

The ship is cool- but if it's a warship, it should have bays, fighters and turrets. The first ship, with a few mods, could make a good fighter.
