Nemesis class

HI all

Here is my recently finished Nemesis class carrier:

It is more than 2800 meters in length and carries more than 2000 fighters

here are two pics of a fighter wip:

    Sweeeeeeeeet! Good mesh!

    But the top-texture looks a bit like a snake-skin or so. Ya should change it a bit.


    But the rest is great!

  • I think the fighters need some more work also concerning the design so they'd fit to the carrier!

    Hey, great dessign!
    Raider: I think it was meant to look like that, but I'll let chrisi comment [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
    I feel, though, that the ship is just a bit too blocky and flat to seem large. It needs MANY smaller details, a better texture, and the likes. IMHO, it looks to be around 700 meters, but that could be easily fixed by slowly adding in details, like little towers, turrets, launch bays, control centers, observation domes, pipes and hoses, valves, wires, ridges, and bumps.
    The fighters are kind of bland. They also seem too curvey to be of the same origin as the carrier.

  • Yep Sanfam is right it is supposed to look like that. I ve split its armor up into little hexagons. So that you can easyly repair armor damage.

    The Nemesis class is my first finished mesh and i think ill let it as it is. I think my basic shape modelling skills are good enough but i am not very good in detailing. Later ill make a totally new carrier. (after the rest of my fleet is finished...)

    but well: heres the finished Fighter and the finished bomber:
    [url="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36239472&Sequence=0&res=high"]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36239472&Sequence=0&res=high[/url]

    The fighters design isn't very similar to the carrier design but perhaps it'll fit to the designs of later carriers.
    I just tryed Tachy's box-meshsmooth method for the fighters and i must say that im very happy with it.
    One more point: The design of modern-day carriers is also not very similar to the design of fighters cause they have to do totally different jobs.

    But anyway thanks for your comments
  • hey, love the design of the Cruiser - looks very cool [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

  • Sanfam got a point there concerning the length in comparison to the deetails. Look at the gun turrets - they must be enormous considering the hull being around 2km [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/rolleyes.gif[/img]
    quite an overkill, eh?

    I till don't like the fighters - they look fishy [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Well, I'm noticing you're using shared design. That is a good thing [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
    Having a similar design between fighter craft/ships in general is a good way of illustrating the linked relationship between the craft, as well as defining the size of other craft using the same components.
    SOmething I wouldrecomend if you make more fighters, capships, or even corvettes would be to set a design scheme for yourself to follow. For example, on a capship, try and use a standard propulsion system with a similar locations on ships of relatively equal or similar size. Another example is a shared command section, or shared weaspons, fighter launch bays, or other add-ons.

    by the way - how long is a Hyperion Cruiser? Not very small I think. And its gun turrets aren't very small...
  • Thanks for your comments

    I have already startet to desighn a smaller escort cruiser(on paper). I have made 2 designs 1 very round (fighter like)design and a very blocky one. Although i havent yet decided what design i will use i think ill take the blocky one and keep that style for capships while fighters will be rounded.

    It is a bit of overkill [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    The smaller guns arent that big imho.

    But the bigger one in the middle is really big. Thats true. But its the main gun. You know the main gun of the excalibur? Well i think half of the excal is its main gun.
    The main gun of the Nemesis was thought of being very powerful and breaking even the thickest energy shields and armor plates but it has a very long recharge time...

    the one and only

    something elsethat would help make the ship seem very large: windows.
    Windows are what it's all about [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
    If you prroperly put in windows, you can make your ship seem quite realistic, and basically determine it's size.

    Ach chrisi sach blos du bis' Deutsch? Is mir garnet aufgefallen. Du heist doch nicht etwa auch Christian? Mann so ein Zufall ich auch.

    Na dann, kann ich dir ja auf deutsch sagen: gutes Mesh!

  • Yep deutsch ist meine Muttersprache.

    Bin einer der wenigen ösis hier.. [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    Danke

    Sanfam: Yes youre right but on the other hand windows are also weak spots for a warship.

    anyways ive added some more windows. I think it still could need some more perhaps ill add more...

    heres are two pics to compare: [url="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36331387&Sequence=0&res=high"]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36331387&Sequence=0&res=high[/url] [url="http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36331395&Sequence=0&res=high"]http://albums.photopoint.com/j/View?u=1193820&a=8797429&p=36331395&Sequence=0&res=high[/url]

    Anyways heres a pic of the newly started battle cruiser.

    Well I know it looks ugly but i like it, i dont know why but i like it

    and now ill try to find out how to use meshsmooth and try to make it look a little bit better...
  • I really like the carrier [img]http://forums.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    The mid-section and it's texture makes it look a bit like the Warlock, but not too much. The guns should be a bit smaller, looking at it more the ship does look a bit small...
