The Nexus is someone's hard work. Calling it a copy/paste travesty is not only insulting to the person who made it, but is nonsence anyway as it is clearly a unique design. Armankessilol was very generous in lending his ships to the XRM. Saying you don't like something is all very well, but there is no need to insult someone else's creations in quite such a harsh manner. Designing ships is damn hard and I applaud all modders on this forum who have a go.
Personally I like the Nexus. That's why I added it.
In any case, this is not the right thread to discuss what you do and don't like about the XRM. Lets concentrate on Expnobody's excellent designs, rather than other modders' designs.

Maybe I was harsh I'll admit, and again, ship is not bad at all if it was refined just a little. Even the egosoft made copy paste of ship parts whole the time, nothing so scary there. On first sight nexus looks interesting and then you'll realize that you're looking at 4 centaur tops pasted together. I'll always envy other players "suspension of disbelief" if they can actually digest that. And it needed so little more, loosing those "windows" on wings, few details. For my taste it just ended up as sloppy and unfinished work, below X standards, but I guess not everybody needs to agree on that.paulwheeler wrote: Personally I like the Nexus. That's why I added it.

expnobdy i noticed that the top right corner of the 1st pic is a Argon M2+.....
but last time we saw the Argon M2+ it looked like in the 2nd pic?
so im thinking you have 2 versions on the go, any chance of you posting a 1 frontal 3/4 shot of each of them as i am very interested in the 2 concepts?

oh, that M2+ is the first version i post, with a chop off head of argon M1 or TL on its side (not intentional, it is just randomly move there or just the perspective)Sn4kemaster wrote:expnobdy i noticed that the top right corner of the 1st pic is a Argon M2+.....

and yes, i do have both version ready to go, but i submitted the newer version because ithink that's more reasonable size for M2+
it is basically improve version of this (i clear out the excess platforms, and that's about it)

Well do you have a good front 3/4 shot of the one you actually submitted (as in the actual Argon M2+ we will be getting in XRM) as you never really supplied one....expnobody wrote:oh, that M2+ is the first version i post, with a chop off head of argon M1 or TL on its side (not intentional, it is just randomly move there or just the perspective)Sn4kemaster wrote:expnobdy i noticed that the top right corner of the 1st pic is a Argon M2+.....

Yeah, I was thinking about this....Nemesis_87 wrote:hehe glad ur using the paranid ship as both the M1+ and M2+ with hte bridge idea
There is no problem with using that M2+ as a basis for the M1+, but there needs to be a lot more of a difference than just keeing the bridge for the M1+ and removing it for the M2+......
The M1+ should also get the downward leg and foot that the standard M1 gets too..... that should go a long way to making them look different too!

So what did you do with that Paranid M2+ new extra command bridge in the end?
Did you remove altogether it or cut the tower down by 50-75% like you suggested or something else?
edit...looks like thats already set up for the classic 8/12/12 front/left/right PPC set up

I don't want to be brutal but your Argon ships are ugly - Like someone chopped multiple M1 and M2 and from parts create those frankensteins 
Your ATF ships are OK (I especially love that fighter/bomber from first page) and your Paranid ships are beautiful, but when I look at your Argon ships I wanna puke. Not to mention they seems to be rather high-poly comparing to the rest, but high-poly in bad way such that it doesn't add too much details but adds much CPU load.
