got too many exhaust holes, dont you think?

the texture's good, but i think the bodies are a bit.. too wide?

the nose.. too sharp?

im being picky.

My suggestion? Get rid of that big gun in the middle on the last picture. It would look MUCH better.

"Violence is the supreme authority from which all other authority is derived."

I like them, well except the last one, looks unbalanced and a bit messy. The other two look cool though, really nice textures too.

Heheh, I posted this on some other places, no one likes the third one. Fair enough, bad design on my part i suppose. I'll probably trash that one since all the fighters (except for the scout) can mount torps anyways. Thanks for the replies!

Here are the ships I've designed for this group. (There are 3 other major groups, and a bunch of civ-militia-freighter/transport ships too.)

In order, left to right.
Scout, Light Fighter, Medium Fighter, Assult Fighter (note the X's on the wings. The design was changed from this), Torp Bomber,
(Next Row) Corvette, Destroyer, Carrier, Heavy Cruiser/Dreadnought.

they look like they're made from Kilrathi plasteel

3rd's not bad, but the second is the best. Now if there was ship like it in FL, hmmm.

They seem too "big" a good shot to those "missles" "boosters" Would be too easy to hit.

Seems that the 2nd is the favorite of most. And ya, it does kina look like it's made from the same material and color of Kilrathi ships huh? Those torps might be easy to hit, but you'd have to get through the shields first (although this group has one of the worst shields). Also, its not like every fighter carries them, just when they think they might have to take out something big. As for the bomber, yeah, it'd probably be taken out pretty easily by some well placed shots.

New ship finished. The scout. Should I add some fins?

i like the medium fighter the best as it is symmetrical.
also, those big things on the side of the medium fighter should be the engines because they are huge. and look very powerful

On the pic with the drawings, the bottom left and bottom rigfht look like ships from Tachion: Beyond the finge.

Damn i am subtle

Sorry, since I figured this wasn't related to FL 3d modeling, I thought I'd better keep it in Off Topic. I'm not rendering these for the FL universe. I thought the 3D modeling forum was for FL releted 3D modeling only.

And the big things on the medium fighter are torps. The "group" that these belong to have basically had to have fought to survive. They're basically a wandering civilization. At one point in their journey, they blundered into a huge alien empire that didn't like unannounced visitors. This empire had rather large ships, so nearly all of the fighters and capital ships have been designed for the purpose of taking out large ships, hence the huge ass torps on the fighters, and the huge ass guns on the cap ships. You won't see this kind of thing on the ships of the other "groups."
