[General_Finley]

My Ancient space station, It's still not finished but it's coming along nicely. What do you think of it?

It seems to be a bit nlocky, try add more towers and detailing.

Locutus - I know your trying to keep the small point on the head but just fan it out a little, what did you think of the photoshopped concept?
see below

Spoiler:

there is no text on the image like i usuall do as the ship design belongs to locutus.

Gen_finley - increase the length of your central tower add more buildings in the centre but not too dense and add lift struts off the main tower like Atlantis.
Like i say to 442 get kerkythea or podium, im assuming your in sketchup it will raise the apperence of your model, and before the mods say it your sig is too big.

I have done a few more things to my shipyard, but not much. Out shopping today...with my lady, so that means not much time in krackers and more time in Jane Norman, Karen Millen.

added images of the yard. (Large Image)

O I redid the guns, they are still at 18 of them. with 8 on the wings and 7 in the head and 2 on top of the head and two on the bottom of the head and two at the rear, but facing forward on the high thingy



Also keep in mind these guns are not firing asgard plasma beam weapons. They fire a pulse or beam based on the AG-3

Thanks for the Advice, I was planning on making more towers, but i'm not sur exactly hoy many to add, cause i don't want to add to many and make it to clutered. How much do ether of the programs you recommended cos, cause i don't get payed tell next wednesday.

[Experiment 442]

Gen_fin: they're free

Loc: Its hard to reconmend gun positions without the model in front of you. I'd say ten of those max, normal plasma cannons/coil guns/ rail guns would be good in batteries of four- eight.

Carriers are suposed to just hold fighters with a small array of weapons. If you want bigger, make it a battle cruiser/warship. At the moment that's just a huge battle carrier.

Tomorrow I'll post pictures showing all faces of the ship, some specialized shots and all, but now Im going to learn some History, got a damned test bout it tomorrow

Well, after a few weeks inactivity on the modeling front, i've gotten to work again. here's a basic layout for the weapondry of my battleship:

EDIT: still not sure about the missile silos. i think i'll go with this simpler design:

Just trying something out.

I think the next one I do will be 20 seconds or more long so a person can really take the ship in.

It does seem a little rushed. If you made it 20 seconds and had it rotate slower then that would help things a lot. But still does a nice job of showing off your beauty of a 304 haha.

[tjoflojt]

Nice, RJB! but like Finger said, slow it down a bit

Anyway, i think my weapons are getting a bit over the top... what do you think?
