Druna Skäss [TS]
Subject description: She's beautiful, Admiral.
The most powerful ship in the GDI Navy. The Druna Skäss. Literal translation (in the tiberium universe) meaning the Bringer of Light. Druna Skäss fires a powerful Siorc Wave Cannon, with incredibly devestating effects. This ship can fire for dozens of kilometres over flat ocean and terrain, and for quite a range in mounainous areas. She can only fire where she's facing, as the recoil of the weapon is too much for turret-based barrels. The Druna Skäss is the only ship like this in the entire GDI naval fleet (meaning set build limit to one).
You have the helm, commander. Can you use her wisely? Remember, the wave cannon decimates both friend and foe... so keep your forces well out of range of the Druna Skäss's deadly cannon.
You can find the ship in a download pack here:

Very nice, good job. I only have one issue: Fix the HTML issues that show up on the post...it gets ugly. Other than that, it's is the best in the fleet. QUICK_EDIT
I'm sorry, I hate it. Texture sucks imo, the "turret" is nice though, the vessel is stupid overall. I'm not trying to be rude, but you've done better in the past. QUICK_EDIT
Its an interesting design, and as many have already commented, the turret is very nicely done.
A few comments:
1) Why do the entire ship? You rarely can see the bottom of the ship if its in water? And when they die, they don't go in head first like in RA2. (I say this, because you have it for TS)
2) The main structure outside of the hull, which also contains the bridge.. is never really detailed, or with much design. I'd love to see from you a futuristic looking bridge.
This kind of goes for the hull as well, I have to say, you shape the hull very nicely, but again, I'd love to see more originality in the design.
(although this time, the side-sponsons and side-engines are a nice touch).
Your voxels are almost always nicely constructed, and this is no different. Its just.. sometimes its clear particular parts have more effort than others, and somethings this creates a variation in style also, which doesn't always look so great. _________________ If there is a problem on the forums, PM me.

You are right.. I always set the ship two high in the water... I'll cut some of the lower layers off, and add more detail to the Inertial Mass Generator (the big grey thing), and retexture (possibly rework?) the bridge.
As for the side engines... Three words as to why i put them there... "Tiberium Infested Water"
I just thought the sponsons looked cool, as well as helped the ship stay stable when she fired and/or took sharp turns.
As for the hull design... last couple of times I made a ships voxel, i was ridiculed for attempting a different approach, and it ended up looking like a pontoon boat or an american civil war Ironclad.... But i'll see what i can do. _________________ "Reality is a lovely place, but I wouldn't want to live there." -Adam Young QUICK_EDIT
Like I said, the turret is AWESOME! But 1 question, is that green part Tiberium ammo?
Oh, and Yuri 06, the name is probably norvegian or something scandinavian, if it's not invented completely by DaTS for being Scrin language or something like in Dune... QUICK_EDIT
Druna Skass is the name of an end of game boss in the PS2 game Warship Gunner 2. It’s equipped with a giant beam cannon on the front of it but it’s a huge battleship not frigate sized, coincidence?
Anyway, very well made vxl except I would also suggest like Muldrake that the lower hull is unneeded & will look very weird ingame. _________________

Dats just got owned
But on other notes the hull and the top bridge leave a lot to be desired detailwise. _________________ QUICK_EDIT
I think I phrased my last message wrongly. It wasn’t my intention to try & insult him I was just curious about the name & that’s was about all I could find on it. It could purely be coincidental that they share the same name or he has seen it somewhere & forgot about it then when it came to naming this vxl it was the first thing that popped into his head etc. _________________
