The past couple of days I've been playing with a redesign of my previous Horizon CV in between pacification and mining play sessions on Aitis. I'm still not happy with the CV for a "final" design/shape, but here's a couple of work in progress shots. Got a little ahead of myself playing around with paint schemes on the unfinished hull.
Release. I've been working almost without break on this beast. I hope it turned out allright. http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1123872980
That is beautiful. Both the original and the redesign are astounding. With the redesign it is hard to say which color scheme I like better. On the one hand the red and gray is so sinister, but the teal and dark gray is an interesting combo - its growin on me. I do not know which one of your vessels I like better. It is wonderful that you have the star trek - esque feel but also your own twist on things with the voids in the saucer sections and the spars reaching to things. All around awesome design!
It has been a busy week... Everything you see here including the hangar xD The ship bottom left is EpCortex Scavenger SV which I went to town on and gave a swanky interior. Middle of shot the big concordia by Rustimus, totally rebuilt from the ground up for him today block for block texture for texture due to the core orientation being out. Im all built out so im taking a break... ...for an hour
i don't know if it is just the new cool standard texture or the simple colors black and red which turns me on.... But i can't think of anything else for alien and those spiky forms. Also the weaponsystems are bothering me, they seem like they don't belong there, because all of those turrets are very human like and the ship is only made of slopes and angles :/ so i try to make the best out of it What do you think?
@Neal Love the new ship. You always do such interesting things with the warp cores too(*love* the one on the Vanguard class). Good stuff!
Finished texturing the upper SV hanger (I think) 3 massive hangers on this vessel, 2 to go, then on to the Bridge and living quarters.
This. I love this. I can't even explain why, there's just an artistry about the design and the location and just... mmph.
Working on this dropship that was in the empyrion folder, this is a very old outdated version of the dropship that i tweaked some months ago, the hull blocks are called hull still... The forbidden or outdated devices are out and have updated it for modern standards, nearly. I love the way this work stand holds a ship XD This hangar has been very well used this last week haha
Yea that looks pretty EPIC. I am going to use the AI command to spawn in some PV vessels and have a little fun with this ship.
Still working on this CV in survival . Still working on the outside of it but texturing and painting in this game is so much easier. It doesn't take long at all to texuture a ship now. Still thinking should I paint it or leave it plain with some more texturing. Have anyone checked out the in game music in space near Skillon? It's pretty nice, it has like a Star trek feel to it.
@banksman45 Looks like beast. I was enjoying Skillon until a carrier tore me a new one in a CV battle. At least I limped away, can't say as much for the carrier tho Back to Akua for refit, combat armor upgrade and back to it.
Thanks. . It needs a lot done to it but A drone base, SpaceStation with tons of drones around it had to be destroyed in order to get enough combat blocks to build it and I haven't started on the interior yet but it's built to take a beating. Yea those carriers are tough . I've lost a few SVs playing around with them .lol
Hmm... maybe ya could take Starfleet Ships, Klingon Ships, & Romulan Ships, &/or other Races's Ships, & mash'em together & see what happens! Might work... might not... but who knows? Might get new ideas. Starfleet is a Faction of Explorers. One can't help but to wonder if Starfleet can be a little guilty of "Forgetting to Survive", till Q remedied that by kicking the Enterprise into the first ever Borg Encounter in the Series... but nonetheless, in Deep Space Exploration it really does pay to have a varied & diverse array of skills on hand. Starfleet is the Faction Specialist for "Utility". Compare & contrast how so screwed the Klingons would be if they encountered a major Scientific Puzzle... or how royally screwed Romulans would be if they encountered a situation requiring perfect honesty & moral integrity. Umm... that include a Hover Tank/War Tank Deathmatch Arena? Or... on second thought, I guess ya don't really need any advice from me. I like how your HV tries to disguise itself as an Ambulance with that Medical Symbol on its Nose... but the blatantly obvious Guns kinda break the Disguise's Stealth.
