bwhahahahahahahahaaaa look at those colours do you realy want to fly that sucker

i am only atacking the people who want to kill me....

Note that I said "just ignore the color scheme for now"? I haven't textured yet dude.

I like the color scheme. A parrotfish from hell..

Lol, i get it, the color sucks. Can someone please post constructive comments about the actual model? I posted it here so I knew how to improve it, because it doesn't quite look right to me yet.

you did quite a nice job, accually. maybe you should make the main hull part a little less straight, it looks kind of boring.... also, you should put a round nozzel sitcking out od the main engine port, it would look better

Ah! Thx! This is the kind of stuff I need, actual useful suggestions! Thank you Ebola!

The green cilinder things use way to much polies. It looks like a 20+ sided cilinder.

the "dragon wings" look really frail, maybe you could build them up a little more, and also trom that angle your nose looks like it rammed a brick wall or something, i think you should straighten it out and try something more subtile with it, right now it sorta reminds me of a box...but i do like the engines, even tho the color is all wrong (lol couldnt resist just one ), it looks like you have taken them off a jet but i do like the effect.

I would drop the side wings, make the top dragon wings thicker and have them go out sideways. That way you could even add a turret mount on the top.

The colors suck though. Try putting a skin on it before you release it.

I couldn't resist it either, y'know, if you hadn't have said anything 'bout the color, everyone would probably have only commented on the model itself.

I'd fly it ... draws a bit too much from the Dragon, but hey, I like the Dragon!

Nice model, I like the wings, but you should add alot more detail on the hull because when you compare it with the wings it looks like...uhm...well...not so nice. But then again, this is version 0.1 of the model. Good luck!

Thanks for the comments and suggestions.

I've decided to go with just three dragon wings. The bottom ones will stay the same, but there will only be one on top.

About the comment that I draw a lot on the dragon, that's the idea. I designed this ship to go with the same theme all the other kusari ships go off of. But to me, it more resembles a drake. Oh well...

Thanks for pointing out about the high polygon count of the two side engines. That's probably adding alot to the total count, which is now around 3000. After I take out one of the dragon wings, and edit the side engines, that number should go down.

The ship will be skinned once I get adaquate texture maps, and after the model is complete and I'm pretty sure I don't need to make any more modifications.

Thx again for the commments.

Hole,

I was not making a joke. I like the colors. Why is it that no-one in the future flies brightly colored ships? They are always glaring white, or stealthy grey, or imposing black. I know there have got to be some militant space hippies out there, flying the equivalent of a tie-dyed VW microbus or a flowered up space-zodiac. Give them a bright, happy killing machine.

If I were flying about in an age of scanners and sensor that could detect me 10K away (10k what? What is the scale in this game?), I would not worry about a stealthy grey ship like everyone has in the freelancer universe. I would make it distinctive. The visual equivalent of the Jolly Roger.

"Uh oh, GreenSpace is coming to get us for mining this asteriod fields and killg all the space-whales. Only they fly ships with that blood-red on blue color scheme!"

Apologies if you thought my previous comment was insulting and/or not serious. Make a skin based on this color scheme. It's cool.
