Yeah, it's over the top, heh.  I love built-in guns, I love giant guns of dewm... I just can't help myself 

[ValkyriaL]

Anyone know how to change the background? i have one laying about but i don't know how to change it into that.

And on topic, i added some more ships to the family, hope you like this

Many of these don't even look like this anymore added alot of stuff to a few to make them look *Non vanilla* no idea what to do with the paragon. the lines and stuff are hard to connect if you take another piece and put in.

Combined medikohl's Stiletto and Spiker and some original art to build the Brute, a ship built around a gun:

cool! love the minor fact that the right one has a shifted centred line, moving the centre body to the left

some opinion

Spoiler

1: the weapon, especially the barrel may be not built into the body so that it can recoil...big gun with recoil 
2: for the left and right one, especially the right one one probably good to got something to balance the gun at the left side. maybe an external ammo shell storage container or so
3: for all 3 ships, the seemingly heavy left and right wing body are only link to to the main body at the center horizontal bridge, seems a bit fragile

just my 2 cents

[xenoargh]

Good points

Made one last version, with the centerline shifted further left, so that the barrel's almost on the center, added recoil compensators and some other details:

[medikohl]

it's a cruiser, planning on having an integral cannon built along the center line.

New ship with a huge rail turret

Even think of a ship name for this, White Cyclops
the first ship that I think I will start keeping and build a fleet upon this one.
The final 1:1 output first:

And the usual much larger than necessary renders, got some variations:

basic one


with light


the chosen one with glow light


irrelevant, too cool to not post

the video showing the turret rotate at 0:15 and how it's over powered at 3:30



This time took at new way to deal with the shading, probably not visible enough, but i believe the direction is correct

As discuss before, rather than adding a gradient shadow to represent slope, I added a flat solid shading on the slopping panel at the side of the ship, to represent they reflect less light which coming from right on top of the ship

to a bit emphasize more on this I also added hard shadow (see the ring's shadow on top of the ship engine)

In terms of the ship styling and design I think this ship will be the sample of my following design.... clean white, armored plate, light from the armored gap, geometric, angular, non cursive...

but probably will slow down, job is getting busy

@medikohl

not much to say about it looks good no faults, nice design, maybe you can give a picture with the weapkn mounted on it?

razor looks nice too. love the clear, colorfull design ,which is always a good thing with fighters.

@maximilianyuen

shut up and take my money 

Love its design and role, in some kind of way the hull looks like shattered glass ,which is something i never seen before with any starfarer sprite ,would be epic if you could make more ships like that.
just two things.

Spoiler

- non sprite related, the ship is rather fast for its size, which makes it incombination with the long range, high damage beam a little overpowered.
- sprite related, just an opinion of mine. i would make the shading a bit stronger. its still hard to see its shape, if you have never seen the 3d picture of it.

The tube part in the center is the cannon. working on the weapon itself right now. may take a while before it's implemented into the game

[maximilianyuen]

nice overall, but the top part can be seen it's a vertical flip at the lower middle

definitely the last one

[ValkyriaL]

The paragon looked way to vanilla to be in my mod, so i changed it into a more fitting shape its called the phoenix now. taking the role of a heavy battlecruiser.

Ok, I like it, however, the inside borders look strange, I cant exactly say how, maybe they are too thick? Maybe try thinning them a bit. As well, it has no bridge, so...yeah, it needs a bridge.

[ValkyriaL]

I actually had a bridge planned, it looks like this with the bridge

Spoiler

[close]

and where does it look thick? the inside armor in the back is sloping at a high angle, could be that

[silentstormpt]

yeah, gives the feeling to be easily breakable, having that inner hull in the back with an actual hull would make it look, great
