Hey, I like that, thanks.

And man, you're fast at this.

I've gotten a lot faster since I learned how to use the pixel grid to align parts. No more doing an overlay and putting down a bunch of guidelines. It also helps that I had a "template" to follow, so I wasn't trying this thing and that until I got something I liked.

Now THAT is one lovely ship!

Ian Keldon · October 9 2012, 04:18 AM

Someone wanted to see a slightly elevated saucer, so here it is...

The Castellan · October 13 2012, 11:52 PM

Here's another possible one for the ship, my latest monstrosity.

The ship can break apart into 3 pieces, if needed. Each piece is self-contained with warp pods and sublight. The ventral one between the 2 cargo tanks is often inert, just used for extra energy, especially since this one only has phasers.

This is my favorite of these.

nice design

The Castellan · October 21 2012, 03:30 AM

Here's another possible design for the ship, and this one might be most appropriate, since my online friend, who created both the character Luna, and the Pieces itself, said the ship was a decommissioned luxury space liner, sorta like the Queen Elizabeth 2 in space, and use for the bounty hunters' home and missions.

Though I wonder what sort of weaponry this thing could have, and where would they be located.

^That's based off a design by Rick Sternbach from The Spaceflight Chronology.

Albertese · October 21 2012, 09:20 AM

^And I've never seen a 3d render of it. cool.

Cool, yes, but man was it a bitch to work with. For you had to put on all the textures yourself, and it took me a while to figure which one went where.

Starship · October 23 2012, 12:46 PM

That luxury cruiser is looking very good. Therefore, I suggest to work a bit more over the pylons (add more details and make it less boxxy) and naceles (make it a little longer, change the naceles and a bit of details).
I feel the missing of the nav lights too.

Like the first version the best although I would extend the front of the "skid" to allow for a dish mount and have one instead of three.
