[img] - The Purple Moth - A new conept design

Post by JonHandby »

Okay bad name i know, but im working on it!
Im working on some further future designs.
But feel im missing somehting.
Comments more than welcome

^ Front side, with Deceleration Engines
[ external image ]
^ Aft side, with 4 main and 4 backup engines.

Im keeping the colour as purple hasnt been done by me yet.
And to be quite honest i like it in a weird way.
Ive taken some of the design from a startrek ship i have seen, but most of it is my own workings.
The aft spires were inspired ( :lol: - bad joke) by the centauri ships from B5.
Comments welcome as i said, as i do think somethings missing.
And its not a back ground!

Here is my 2 cents.

I couldn't differentiate the front and rear(i'm not good when it comes to 3D design). I guess thick part should be rear. Under this assumption (correct me i i'm wrong) i have one comment. Did you think to make this ship like a manta fish. An alien ship with 2 main and 4 small tails. And at the front 4 ray weapons (the purple line shaped parts). :roll:

Cheers,

yummy, i could envisage a few dozen of these running point on a big battlecruiser or three 8)


could u do a fleet render? say 7/8 of these flying about on flanks and point, with a beefy carrier/battleship in middle of a pair of heavy cruisers and a light cruiser forming up the rear?
