Splendid job on the voxel, perhaps more variation in the colours especially since its a ship...

It is a GDI Ship. There is only a bit of remappables.

I liked this ship, as it tries to capture a more futuristic design for a naval vessel, and does in my opinion fit in with GDI design. Although I do see a lot of a luxery cruise-ship design in there Wink

.

I do think its a bit big for such a small role ship.

Still, an interesting and unique design, (something seen very little of these days). And it just maintains your title as TS Naval Voxel God Wink

.

I do feel there should be a bit more remap, perhaps on the missile racks at the side?

That, coming from you Muldrake, means alot. Thanks for the Input guys... but also note it's special abilities... It has long range sensors and EM Jammers.. 60% of the ships mass is Generators.

Its nice to see you putting thought and a life behind the units design. Too few people do that, and it can really make a unit that little bit better, giving reason behind how it looks and should work.

And thank you Dat, but you need to hear those words from someone like Gamemate, Major Gilbear or Jah for those words to have any weight Wink

More remap, I think.

I agree
now I'v seen ingames bit more remap.
for the rest it looks nice, looks like a futuristic stealth ship
really does fit in with the TS concept.

needs a sharper/brighter yellow to truly fit in. but DAMN that thing is nice.

Yes indeed. Very realistic size.

Well done voxel and info, but I do not get the weapon.
Scout Bike Strength rockets are recommended?
From the looks of that badboy, it should have TOW Missile Strength rockets, something stronger than those Scout Bike rockets.

I'm guessing those are merely so the unit can defend itself from air and organic units - it's real purpose seems to be for electronic warfare, hence it has Sensors and an EMP weapon.

Anyway, all this is coding really, and has nothing to do the the voxel itself.

I think the normals need a lot more work, and also I think that it sits too high out of the water. Okay, I know that many fast vessels travel high in the water or even just on the very surface, but that's gonna look really stupid when it is stopped or maneouvreing (which will prolly be most of the time).

I think it needs more colour variation amd remap too - perhaps some remap go-fasta-stripes? #Tongue

Finally, how about using the GDI logo or something more generic than the number on its flank? IMO the number looks pretty pixellated and spoils the scale of the ship somewhat.

ihateharriers, please read http://www.ppmsite.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5639

You and Icedogg are spamming.

Anyway, this ship is cool, but probably it looks too big in game, even if it's suposed to be big. I just can't confirm because I couldn't be bothered to place in TS. But it should look good in YR.

Well, aside from the ub3r bumpage... Thanks, I guess. I can try to edit it to add some remap and maybe work on the normals sunday. Today and tommorow Amber is staying over at my house.. so i'll be a bit... 'occupied' #Tongue

That is no recon ship it is more of a command ship. a recon ship needs to be small so it isn't noticed
