I believe those rings are the minatures base.

Yeah they are the bases, thanks for finding them but they do not look like the ships as well as they look too small (personally they are much too clean and the wron colour) I found these before and started modifying one of them but they just were not useable.

I can however use these to work out the top of the ships and get them right :) thanks mate.

(Dunno what are thoses rings though)

Perhaps they represent the effective weapon arcs. Or the foot base on which the ships would stand in the actual game:

Correct they represent the different ship vectors and can be placed on the miniature stand, I however always left them off< i thought they ruined the overall effect and my bases where always painted to look like a star pattern with my favorite ships having extra little details. On my flagships base I used a friends airbrush to make a kick ass little nebula. These should have no bearing on any ships placed in the mod however. Please don't put them in, that will just look tacky.

Abanddon, I will definitely not put in the bases as you said it makes them loo tacky.

Sprogo, Don't work there might be a captain called your name (Ryan?)....Depends what race you play, i might draw a ork kruiser

Also I know sometime ago a Barracuda was made, could someone send that to me or post it here so I can scale it to the right size (and steal it without having to redraw it).

And...I ever so slightly drew the Retribution class in the wrong scale....frell.(it was out of proportion, but i have found a way to draw them in proportion from a side view)

If you actually mean a Tau Manta - than here it is:

But its really too small for the game and don`t actually fit the original model well (nose is really awful).

They have fish names I don't know fish names! I just want to see how small it would be, remember there are a lot of fighters in BFG so I can see what will happen if I make one that small.

EDIT: Just looked up the offical size of a manta, 32 metres long and 52 metres wide, so to my scale 3.2 pixels * 5.2 pixels.....well balls, maybe I could have them at their original size in a mission, with a small corvette/frigate scaled back up to full size?

Hm. Why not make all fighters scaled by 10 and frigates by 5? 30x50 pixel Manta is something that will look like a solid bomber craft. This will also allow such small ships like Starhawks, Lightnings, Thunderhawks, Barrakudas and ORK fightas, bommas look normal.

I would love to but...the Retribution would be 1120 long so would be pretty much unusable unless you are in dev (but probably not) it would be absolutely giant! (But awesome if possible), I will stay on the 1:10 scale for now unless I can change the FOV in the game, then i might do it 1:1 scale. (And scream with happiness)

What are the sizes of frigates, destroyers and capitals in BFG?

You can always use a per-class scale factor. Something like 10x for fighters, 3x for frigates, 1x for destroyers, 0.8x for cruisers and 0.6x for capitals (~660 pixels for a Retribution (i believe its a BB-size ship?) is ok).

Thank you very much Helmut, I can use these to get the general idea of them and scale them up, while starsectoring them,

BTW

Retribution Nose (so far, nova cannon will be a weapon so not done the hard point yet)
