what da heck, here it is, my first, no, third? no, fourth? yes, fourth, or forth, model for HW, or rather, HW2, whenever that comes out.

Here are the latest shots, you can find more about the concepts and description at the gallery (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=14261)

C&C welcome. More to come tonight.

Omi,

As always your work is superb. I agree with your conversation in the Gallery that it does appear to have more of a Taiidan philosophy than Hiigarian. As you develop this as your harvester (and corvette??) killer you might consider the jettisonable pods have a missile option as well. Keep up the great work this is your best in a long time!

Are you going to put this one up over at Sci-Fi Meshes? Seems to be a lot of HW2 ships poping up over there.

Edit: See you beat me to Sci-Fi. gg keep it up!

[verybad]

very nice. can't wait to see it textured.

[Omi-kun]

what?? HW ships there? many? whoa, can you find some for me? I can't find any.

here's it from a prettier angle,

and I added just a bit more detail, probably around an extra dozen polys, just for the sake of the eye

I'm learning UVW mapping right now, so hopefully I"ll get back to you guys this afternoon

I can't see why it should have missile packs yasotay, it'd be kind of weird to have that when it already has two very powerful plasma gattling gun. Oh, and because of its agility from the multitudes of thrusters it can aim much better and thus kill less maneuverable corvettes en mass. It's armor is light but it can dodge some enemy fire.

It doesn't look Taiidan or Kushan to me. Both, but not a definate either.

I'd say this was a cool new design for a new race. Very cool.

Me wants one :D

Omi,

I know that there was a couple of HW inspired in the last month. One is a corvette last updated on 10 AUG I think.

Did not mean you ought to add missile packs. That would make your ship a real cow (asthetically and mass/maneuver wise). Was thinking that the jettisonable extra wings could themselves be missiles per say.

If that works:(

Very pretty indeed. I would however spend a bit more time thinking about how the centremost wings are attached to the fuselage, it looks a little crude (not finished yet, no?).

[Norsehound]

Yasotay, they tried this idea with a concept version of the Vayger interceptor.

Go check out HWS's concept art area if you're not afraid of any light spoilers...

[NightmareAspect]

That is massively cool

i do agree with Android when he says that the bottom wings (or top, which ever they are) seem to be rather poorly mounted. Try keeping them in the same spot but placing them on edge maybe. I don't knowwhat the look you are going for is but i think it would be an interesting look for it.

by the way, this ship looks like s conglomeration between the Taiidan and Hiigaran ship builders.

i have also made a few models.... but how the hell do i post images of them
