What are you stuck with?

I'm currently working out if my cannons should be tri-barrelled or double-barrelled

[locutes]

You aren't wasting any time haha. The awesomeness of Cain and the Resurrection Ship are fast approaching.

I think im watching about 3 episodes a day on average.
I bought the 1-4 boxset, it doesn't have the last half of season four i think.

I must admit i physically jumped when Adama was shot.

What are you stuck with?

All my guns are triple barrelled small defensive rail guns, the big ones on the top the medium ones on the underside and the cannons.

Well I added a hangar bay for holding a single recon aircraft or two. No fighters, since that's not a Destroyer's function. But having a recon bird would be quite helpful, could jump ahead of the Destroyer's or fleet's course and survey the area.

Spoiler:

I added textures but didn't bother shaping them to the body, I just wanted to see how it looked with them.

EDIT: Gah, I have a bunch of panels that need fixing, Lightwave pisses me off for that. It is perfectly fine in the modeller but then you go over to the Layout and there are deformed panels and holes in the ship.

Well here by 2 hours worth of progress on my Wraith destroyer.

Still a long way to go. a long long way to go.

But with only one lense glasses at the moment and so can work for a couple of hours before my eyes start to heart.

Large(ish) Image Update

Spoiler:

Not really been able to do much this past few days, due to a bit of computer trouble..... But I've added half of the main cannons that the ship will have, my idea is to repeat the top layout on the underside.

I've added 114 single Missile hatches on the top flat area, dunno if i should add more or take some off.

Normal sized rail guns will be dotted about the ship, but their number will not go over 15 or 20 ATM. once i've finished with the guns, Some Landing gear will be the next job.

here's my ship

Spoiler:

[tjoflojt]

lol, why'd you cut it half?

[locutes]

i couldnt get it nice and symmetrical, I did however kept the ship saved how it was before

[tjoflojt]

so how do you plan to do it now?

[locutes]

I copied the half and pasted it back so now the ship is kinda symmetrical

[tjoflojt]

but you'd have to mirror it somehow... what program are you using?
