No replies for a little over two weeks!? Obscene!
Currently working on a mining / scavenger faction, who use dodgy (but cheap) ships. Here's a WIP of the 'cockroach', which is a buffalo analogue made up of a solid core, with lots of cargo bits bolted on, then cut-up asteroids bolted on top of that. Very sturdy, decent cargo capacity, and very low supply consumption, but ungodly slow both in the battle and campaign layers.
I've only really done the top left-hand of the boat, but there are a few things I don't like:
-The 'asteroid plate' texture and colour is wrong; still working on making it look 'sheared' down.
-Also want to make the asteroid plate look and feel more 'bolted on', hence all the structure joists everywhere.
-The colour needs less brown unless it's paint.
-The cockpit needs redoing
-Backbone structure needs broadening
-the MAIN thing that's bugging me is the cargo containers on the right. I wanted to make it look like they literally took modern day cargo containers, and stuck metal banding over it to keep it there. But for me it looks...wrong.
Any thoughts?
