UFO Carrier

(1/8) > >>

RaXaR:
Hi Guys, I'm no good at 3D modeling but here's what I've come up with so far for the carrier. In the top view to the left of the carrier you can see a small 'spec' that's the UFO Fighter for scale comparison.  I thought the carrier should be able to hold a couple of hundred ships at least.  Let me know what you guys think.

 Laters . :)

BTAxis:
I'm not sure about the "belly" (because its curve breaks with the overall angular design) and the "head" (because it looks far too big to be just a bridge), but those shield things to the side look nice. The "feelers" are okay too, and I like the engines. All in all, it's not a bad design at all.

A hundred ships, though? We'll not be unleashing that many UFOs on Earth at any one time during ANY stage of the campaign.

Wanderer:
BT had mentioned in the other thread about holding 8-12 ships.  What if it was designed differently... and reasonably sized in a new way.

Instead of the idea of a 'protective carrier', why not an oversized FTL sled.  The fighers/scouts would be attached in docking collars or perhaps something more flush to the ship, and the 'carrier' portion of the carrier would be rather small, and mostly just a giant engine to move these ships from point A to point B.

Something like this...



Yeah yeah, make fun of my drawing all you like :) I'm still trying to figure out the GIMP ... like dealing with it after putting in some text.

There's nothing wrong with the concept. It'd make for a boring ship, though.

Mattn:
whatever our storywriters tell - i want this model - and even if we can't include it into the single player campaign because it wouldn't fit to the story, please submit it. Even if it is untextured. There are also multiplayer campaigns and a lot of other things where i would like to see some other ufos.

to sum up: looks good imo
