Delphi Ship Creations

I actually really liked the back of the first model. I literally forgot what I was about to do when I saw the second picture of the first version. New one looks cool too though.

Haha, it's good to know I can cause short-term memory loss 😛

I did actually like the quad engines because it made the Inexorable more menacing, but the problem was that the ship seemed really out of proportion when I implemented them. It seemed like the back was too heavy and oversized compared to the rest of the ship.

I still have the original file for the quad-engine model, though, so perhaps a little tweaking could solve the issue.

Considering the Relentless is essentially a retooled Inexorable, I chose to redo the Relentless next.

On the old Relentless, there was a bay that jutted out of the bottom; however, while remaking the Relentless, I thought that would be pretty impractical because storing fighters in the midsection of a ship would require a lot more space than the Relentless offered. So I moved it to the back.

This provides a better view of what is inside the bay. One is serviced on the bottom, while the other is held upside down by an electromagnetic rail system. For the prevention of possible collisions, the fighter on the bottom exits first.

The bay feels slapped on to me because of its really odd appearance, so I'm going to modify it until it looks more natural later.

If you've been reading from the beginning, the ships are all using Delphi's parts, which are boxy and random shaped and not really conducive to "smooth" ships.... Sketchup isn't actually <i>that</i> conducive to smooth ships either...

These ships we're drawing are mostly for our own amusement, and probably won't be used for anything unless we use them. At least, I haven't gotten any requests...<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Actually, I could make use of several of those for Klavarese ships in EVN:UGF; they're the only ones I didn't already have developed in my sci-fi writing. Mind if I snag 'em?

Hey do you mind sending me those red ones in the far background and the yellow ones directly infront of the red? Lovin the claw designs on the reds

Why don't you try creating something more smooth and sleek, something more like a few of Meaker's fighters?

And, these ships are going towards Delphi's total conversion right?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

whoops wrong person with my last post. Ok so yea im diggin the claw shaped red ships an yellow ships infront of em. Mind shooting me a copy of them?

to be that guy and grave dig like I always do, were there any textured ships made in this thread which were released in plugins? I went through each page and didn't find any links sad face
