cant u just make a smaller version of that? cuz i really do like the design

[garrry34]

lol I dare you to go all star trek on the paranid, use the paranid dish style and give it nacelles just for a hoot...

scale it down overall would work, but that would just look wierd because the dish are usually huge as it is. (it's like seeing Tyr scale down to a M6 size.)

[Nemesis_87]

not really, seeing even though its scaled down its overall design is different, Just because the dish is similar to current paranid caps dont mean it has to be the same size

[Nemesis_87]

also if u compare a tyr (M2+) to the valhalla the size difference is immense, i doubt its to big seeing if its in the same catogory as the valhalla its stats r similar to M2+ but it has a docking capacity of an M1+ (which justifys its huge size)

Aslong as it can fit through gates easily enough its all good

now, i dare you to say that doesnt look somewhat similar to USS Enterprise in ST

[Sn4kemaster]

But very good............

i was responding to this. ST all the way.

[Sn4kemaster]

this thing is indeed too big, it's even bigger than the Argon M2+..i will keep all the version i make anyway, no harm on making another version

I think that you should definitely keep it and keep developing it.....if any race was going to have a Valhalla type M0 it would only be the Paranid, i do think that you would need to get rid of the 1st sphere and possibly swap it with something else like the Paranid M7M body and blend that in with the rear sphere a lot more, so it doesn't look like 2 separate ships just joined together.......that could look really good as the M7M body start's narrow and then would blend into the fatter sphere shape, creating a very nice shape maybe?

But as a M2+ it just isnt right.....Paranid ships are graceful with simple line's and that 2nd design is not either, the 1st concept far better fitted both the XRM and general thinking of what a heavy M2 should look like.

At the end of the day the Paranid are the hardest design to do, so why rush it?....we have all waited years for this ship and hardly anyone has managed to make convincing Paranid designs, once its in the XRM its in, so better to wait pump out a few rough shape concepts and make sure the design is spot on?

the ST one is just something i do it for fun and just for the heck of it, so dont consider that's the 3rd version.

as for Paranid M2+, because the size is limited, the design is limited, it's so limited that i always feel that i did not put enough stuff on and i am being lazy.

Hardly what i would call lazy, i think quite the opposite....Paranid ships are what they are, the shapes are simple, you just need to look in the different textures for the detail!

Your doing a great job, keep it up

i think this is it!

expand on original command center - check
wings - check
armor plating - check
tech elements - check
size - check
looks cool - check

maybe looking at the M7 and having fun making a USS enterprise with Paranid stuff helps after all..

As I've said to you in my first reply: you have talent man! This thing looks au pair with original ego ship designs, if not better. And just very few fan designed ships can claim the same. Keep up the good work, XRM/Xtra ships needs several serious design overhauls. Man with your keen eye could with just minor improvements make those ships actually look like something.

First ship on my "urgent redesign" list:

Argon nexus. That thing look ridiculous.

Excellent design, much better, you best version yet....love those two large humps very good.


But I would loose the command bridge, it doesn't look right!

That looks awsome bud, Definatly fits for the M2+ (although i would still keep that massive 1 on hand for the M0 idea hehe)

But yeah, keeps the original design which im not the biggest fan of but with ur tweaks i would definatly use ur version over the ego ones

Oh, here it is. Basically that is centaur glued together /mirrored 4 times : )

[ external image ]

[ external image ]

This should be fast and light ship, smaller and faster then basic Centaur. With just small cosmetic changes it could be much more interesting. I don't even mind basic outline, only if the damn mirroring wasn't so amateurishly obvious. For example all four command turrets are exactly alike. Main should be broader, bigger and only one with glowing windows. Others can be thinner /smaller. Maybe even loose bottom tower and make two latterals mora apart, as per Y letter upside down. Front and back could be changed somehow, make it more unique. There are other tings but you''ll probably know what to do with it better then me ; )

EDIT:

Instead of command turrets should been command towers, but same could be said for those upper hull turrets.
