Ive been working rather hard in my design course at school, (for those who don't know, i get to design a ship for the Epsilon Mod) I finally came up with an idea that i'm happy with:

Looking spiffy!

Where will you mount the weapons?

come to think of it the cockpit looks like the cockpit out of a mech

Question about design concept involved in sketch:

I've noticed designs where the cockpit is nestled between two large side nacelles projecting very far forward like in your sketch.

Is that to protect the cockpit? Reason why I ask is that it seems to me that the pilot would have difficulty in seeing very much in a dogfight. No real peripheral vision.

As for the sketch, nicely executed.

But for me I prefer more rounded and swoopy shapes.

nice work on the sketch -> ms3d model, but I must say that the ship looks a bit......boring. Maybe some outwards ragin pieces would be cool (and what does it look like from behind)

Hardpoint locations. Am I wrong about it? You've got two on the inside of the nacelles placed in front of the cockpit.

Is that optimal placement? More or less, they'll only allow up and down shooting or else straight forward?

i was going to put some custom weapon (singular) in there, like a massive gun of some sort...

Just a few thoughts, try rounding it out. Try making those intake things at the front of the nacelles into enlongated ovals, the flat sides of the fins into concave curves, make the curves on the fins come to sharp points, and see what you get. I think it would look cool, but that's just my opinion. Any prliminary sketches you ditched we could see? --- VH16

Massive gun...... will the pilot then be able to see anything at all?

Thu Aug 19, 2004 11:30 pm by The Ninja

@VH: most of the original sketches are with an even more square shape, and frankl;y, its not going to change into an oval shape.

and see recs post for the gun. thanks for that rec
