Here is a new ship I made recently.

(url="http://"http://www.angelfire.com/mac/theshipyard/preview.html")This is how it looks so far.(/url)

What do you think and how could it be improved?

Cool ship. Is it for posting in the EV gallery?

If so, good job. I can't think of any improvements at the moment.

Keep it up.

Looks great, although the engines are a bit big. Keep up the good work.

I ask you to look both ways- for the road to the atom leads through the stars, and the road to the stars leads through the atom.

Very nice. I like the red space (nebula?) behind it, too.

Those arent the engines, those are the main weapons - its a pirate fighter

The engines will be placed behind those once They are complete

Well, sure it looks nice from that view, but the real proof of whether it's good or not is the view from the top, which is what you see the most in the game. Would it be possible for you to post a top-down view of your ship? If you don't have one yet, please post it as soon as possible. Thanks.

P.S.: Make sure to add some good shadows in the top view.

P.P.S.: What plug will this ship be in? Aroound when will it be released?

Nice ship, Jules. What program did you use?

You can never tell whether a model is going to make a good EV(O) graphic until you've rendered it from top-down, at final size. Remember that a fighter is probably going to be a 24 x 24 size... what will show up, and what is wasted? Fortunately, some details will show up in particular orientations, even though you can't make them out in the orthogonal views. Try rotating the ship through each ten degree increment, and see what you get. If you want to see what it looks like in flight, consider making this into an aniGIF.

Maybe he did it just for fun; nothing wrong with that.

I'll make one up tomorrow and I think that it looks good from top down now that its complete.

It will be in my plug-in called The Reign Of Darkness that I am starting to develop (I've made one ship and am half way through a 250 system map). If any one would like to help in the development of the plug email me. My email address is mailto:ewanc@another.comewanc@another.com

Very nice! Good work ewanc!
