Meh. Back to the drawing board.

Gonna abandon this dread and work on a new design. I just can't seem to connect with it somehow. I've got something far sleeker in mind.

If anyone wants the model, let me know.

Finally, after a few weeks, I've redesigned the entire dread from the fat block of cheddar into a more slender coke bottle shaped design.

I've tried to make it seem like an evolution of the current dread design.
Also, I gave it more focus on some details, especially around the bridge and the outrigger engine nozzles, which are semi-recessed into the nacelles for protection. The nacelles also have an sort of armor-plated "shield" on the outer side that masks the nozzle from the side.




So here it is.

Top, Side, Front, Rear (ortho views)





Some Perspective views






Now, I've also painstakingly scaled the bridge to realistic proportions. Here's the same 6 feet tall soldier against the bridge backdrop, as I scale out the distance.

The design looks like a cross between a Cruiser and a Dreadnought....I like it.

Trust me, I actually narrowed the ship to avoid it looking ungainly, bulky and fat. 10% wider and I might as well use the previous design.

Talien is most perceptive, it does have elements of both the cruiser and dread. For this version, I took a lot of time studying the existing ICC cruiser and dread designs to come up with this. As I said, it's an evolution.

Wow... Im amazed at the precise scaling and sensible design features like the protected engines. That would be a sweet ship, even if its the carrier.

This would Make a GREAT ICC Strike Dread 6-ions and about 2-hcl and the standard 6 cl beams with 4-360 arc cannons.

The first version perhaps.
The 2nd version is all ICC.


Anyway, work on hold till Tael gets back to me on how DS processes textures. Apparently it's not done via the normal way (ie UV mapped), so I have to wait till he gets back to me on the process. IF he gets back to me at all

Don't wanna waste effort on an unusable texture job.
