The infantry unit is the most original, and outrageously bad-ass.

Just some additonal info about the mech, which i forgot to mention.
I is designed to be dropped from orbit into the groud without any futher systems. If done so it will look like this

The jets inside the legs will be used to deaccelerate and for landing.

The cruiser strongly reminds me of Privateer's Paradigm but looks good besides that.
The MBT looks good.
The pseudo-APC doesn't. Why is the turret mounted so far forward?
The fighter I refuse to comment upon.

I like the Cruiser and the Mech best. I really like the color scheme used across all the units. The Cruiser actually reminds me of the Starbridge from Escape Velocity Nova. Its both sleek, intricate looking, and highly detailed. It works really well with the race, and is all in all, a really nice looking ship.
I agree with Batman, I do not like the wheeled tank as much. The turret, beside being far forward, also seems to have a pretty thin cannon. The two tanks were not the land units I was imagining when I first saw the cruiser and the race. I was imagining more of a hovercraft type design instead for some reason.

The cruiser was inspires by the paradigm, you are rightThe cruiser strongly reminds me of Privateer's Paradigm but looks good besides that.
Because the center contains ammunition and the back the engine/power supplyThe pseudo-APC doesn't. Why is the turret mounted so far forward?
Why do you refuse to comment on it?The fighter I refuse to comment upon.
Does it look so utterly crap or is it simply disturbing?

Re: Some evaluation needed
Antares, does the figher's cannons swing out from within the main wings? If so, thats kinda neat actually. I didn't notice it at first.
Edit: I voted for the fighter, mainly for this feature. The cruiser almost had my vote but the swing out cannons were unexpected and a pleasant surprise. And I may or may not regret posting this before Antares clarified my question since I will look like the a complete idiot if in fact they do not swing out.

Yes they do. In landing/docking mode it locks like this:Dangermouse wrote:Antares, does the figher's cannons swing out from within the main wings? If so, thats kinda neat actually. I didn't notice it at first.

And the reason the ammo supply can't be put elsewhere is?Antares wrote:Because the center contains ammunition and the back the engine/power supplyThe pseudo-APC doesn't. Why is the turret mounted so far forward?
I can quite simply not think of one good reason for it to look the way it does.Why do you refuse to comment on it?The fighter I refuse to comment upon.

What's the point of those swing-out cannon?

<Shrugs> Compactness for carrier storage? Adjusting the angles of the cannons for convergence? Thats all I have. Batman, I am guessing you value "form follows function?" I liked it mainly from the aesthetic viewpoint.Batman wrote: I can quite simply not think of one good reason for it to look the way it does.

What reason is there to but it not into this section?Batman wrote:And the reason the ammo supply can't be put elsewhere is?Antares wrote:Because the center contains ammunition and the back the engine/power supplyThe pseudo-APC doesn't. Why is the turret mounted so far forward?
The ammo then benefits from the vehicle section that is less exposed to enemy fire. It is protected by a large front section and a large back section. Only from the side it can be reached difrectly.
Firstly making it more compactI can quite simply not think of one good reason for it to look the way it does.

Secondly together with the main wings being able to swing up/down/forward/backward, a target can be locked better at different distances and fire can be focused at a single point simply by swinging the cannons/wings.
It also provides some ability to attack several frontal targets at once.
Absolute fixed forward guns like, for instance the X-Wing, makes even less sense for me
Both were recognized by Dangermouse easily (Thanx dude )

Hey, Sea Skimmer helped design the APC thing, so there's nothing really wrong about its design.
I love them all. Though the thing is, the APC and the MBT don't really jive with the rest of the alien race. Sure, a future human nation, they'd be pretty spiffy, but the alien, the fighter, the cruiser, the walker - they just look too different. Not that they're ugly or anything, because they're beautiful.
I'm not voting though. Too hard to choose, the tank and the APC are just too awesome for me.

Hmm.. perhaps you are right. But the creature should mainly run on 6 legs anyway like the earlier version:salm wrote: I looks like it would tip over because of the extra Segment in the legs. It would be unnecessarily difficult for this creature to keep its balance.
