A starship design of mine

Post by Lord Revan »

ok this just the basic form with very little details (basically just the engines)

and resemblence to existing designs is unintentional

but anyways what do you think of it so far, is it worth developing or just pure crap?

Engines are too small. Make them bigger so as to look more powerful.

Also, I don't know how thick the "wings" are going to be, but it might turn out a bit flimsy looking. If it's much larger than a fighter you might want to bulk it out a bit.

But otherwise, it looks deadly.

it a cruiser and "wings" are the FTL drive.

as engines, I've tried to keep them as small a target as possible.

What kind of details are you planning to add to it?

I don't know yet, I'm open to any suggestions (like Ein I use MSPain(t) so keep that in mind)

Looks like a Norexan with bent wings.

Might I suggest some more detail in the nose ? It looks a bit bland, shape-wise.

Well, I personally think the design is stealthy and interesting. Very deadly-looking.

there's absolutly no details in the hull (apart of the engines) atm but there will be (not much though as this is meant to be a stealth cruiser).

I actually meant in the hull shape. Y'know, small ridges, subtle hammerhead design, something to give it a bit more character.

However, if you're going for the stealth look, I can see how you'd want to keep it smooth :)

I've always liked Revan's ship designs. So sleek.
