now that I think about it... I do think it might feel a bit "off" to fly over.

Na, it's a great size.
In fact, I think it should be bigger.

I don't like big stations.

Is this part of the big blue armored station set? If so, armor panels above the docking bays would fix the following problem.

The lowest metal part looks off to me. It looks like it curves in and reinforces the illusion the station is bending over backwards. Maybe if it was not smoothed, but angular instead. Some textured panels would do the same thing, I think. (depending on if they curve in or out)

It's part of that set.
How do you mean curves in?
Do you mean concave, as in the outer edge is higher than the middle?
It was built off of a sphere (with the top & bottom sliced off). I could bevel a ring around that part, so that there was a distinct angle visible. I'll fool around with it some more, no hurry

. I kind of like the idea of having armor plating apparent as well.

A gunship.
I'm working on a destroyer, and maybe a larger cap ship too.

ooh... funky!
looks like something outta startrek.

Hmm,...interesting. Maybe devlenk, after you're finished that, you can make some kinda robot-like ship?

Wed Jan 24, 2007 9:14 pm

Yeah, and maybe a Borg cubeship and Sphere.

Borg? *throws up* ugh, the most unimaginative "ships" ever created. I've made better stuff from lego.

Yeah, so? It should be simple then.
You're right though...cancel the Borg. How about a Romulan ship from ST:TNG?

...i was tinking a ship with no windshields...and has a robotic look to it...

dvlenk6 · Thu Jan 25, 2007 1:50 am

I thought it kind of looked too much like the Ranx Gunship

@GNS - What do you mean 'robotic'...that could mean a lot of different things, depending on what the purpose of the robot was.

Gah...i had no image in my mind...yet. I just require a robot-like image/ship.
