Barge is perfect.
Flagship is good.
Speedstar looks a little bit like a X-wing, but I still like this better than the other design. It's good.
Whale is OK but a little puzzling. Maybe needs fins? Someone else said it should look more organic. I'm not really sure what to recommend on this one, but something doesn't quite fit.
You're good at this. Please keep adding.

It's a bit disorienting to have the "original concept" picture stuck on there (at least for me). I was thinking just have one picture per post like you started with, but just update each one to the current image as you work on them. That's just me, though...Paneak wrote:Good idea!

I could be wrong, but it seems as if nearly all of your ships are derived from, either Star Trek, Star Wars, or Battlestar Galactica. I doubt toonces would want to risk copyright infringement by adding most of your ships. I'm surprised he been able to get away with the current ISC version as it is considering the likeness to Star Trek ships.

That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. Most of our current ship graphics are based off of sci-fi tv shows or movies (isc-star trek, falcon-star wars, battleship-star wars, sethdar-possible deviation of death star). While the ones he is proposing doesn't even remotely resemble them.
The ship graphics are amazing, Paneak, its good to have a talented 3D artist on our forums. Keep up the good work.
Ohh, who cares if it won't make it into the game in all its high-res glory? It's concept art, right?
Hmm... I rather liked the avenger/falcon not switched. The whole point is that the avenger shouldn't scream "I'm stealthy!" because it shouldn't be screaming. I also felt that the falcon should have big wings as befits its name.
Ah well.
This whale is definitely better, though it needs some shoulders and fins. It's amazing how fast you drew the new one after my post.
Could you, as an experiment, put sizable quad engines on the underside of your new flagship? In any case, it's much better than the original.
Battleship is now perfect!
ISC is still meh. It needs to look like a high tech version of the pentagon built into a flying, glowing batmobile firing a massive rocket or two. Right now, the thin wings make it look like it's built to avoid damage instead of tank it.
New Freighter: Hmm... Maybe. That model is strictly awesome, it's just that I don't know if it fits any of the current ships. If there was a fast ship with the name of a predatory sea creature, then that would fit. Freighters need to emphasise some cargo capacity. Your first might have been better.

Are youl talking about the orignal...because the model i'm using is nothing like the ship from ET, it does take some influence from a few games (wing commander mainly) but it looks nothing like the ship from ET which was a more traditional UFO (if I remember correctly).toast wrote:wow this just popped into my head...what did the spaceship in the movie e.t look like? wasnt it like the seth?
Some of them I was already revising...and sometimes..its just not that hardNeatLogs wrote:Ohh, who cares if it won't make it into the game in all its high-res glory? It's concept art, right?

The ISC is proving more difficult than I thought, part or the problem is that people associate it with the Star Trek look, and I am trying to avoid that. At its core the ISC is a heavily armored, fast gunship...typcically 2 things not combined...i'll continue to tweak it...we'll see if I can make it work.
As for avenger/falcon..i agreed with you
And by new frieighter, are you referring to the barge?
I did that to encourge...i like the old one better discussions.Cheesy wrote:yea id just shot the up 2 date ones and keep the original ideas eitehr at the bottom or saved on ur comp in case of referenceBMF1000D wrote:It's a bit disorienting to have the "original concept" picture stuck on there (at least for me).

I meant the new merchant freighter that has the model of the old ISC. Your manta-ray looking ship.
It's good, but there aren't any fast but slow-turning ships named manta ray.
So your old industrial-looking model for the freighter is still better.
As for the ISC, I'm sure you'll find a solution. I agree with you when you talk about its heavy armour and speed though. I think the best thing would be to emphasise the "imperial" aspect of it, since that is fairly important.
I'll take anything that looks stately and also looks like it can dish out three massive sci-fi fireballs in a row with pinpoint accuracy.
I don't think the quick aspect of it needs to be shown with anything other than massive engines.

Re: New ship graphics
Uh, but it's stated in a sticky in the tavern:Toonces wrote:great pics, good work! but, our system for the ship art is proprietary and low-res
viewtopic.php?t=4290
It seems a bit odd to state new art is welcome for submission, and then to say that it has to be in the unreleased proprietary format.Toonces wrote:Changes to Starport must come through the starport patching system. If you have worked on new art such as a skin, you are welcome to submit it to us for inclusion in the game. We can add new content such as skins, they just have to come through the official patching system.

Well, before you do that, you have to consider how they will blend into the rest of the user interface. Right now the ship graphics that you are suggesting, although very good, do not really relate to the other graphics, such as planets and the rest of the skin. The graphics that we have now are grainy and got a worn out grimy feel to them, yours don't.
