only place the red stuff on the front looks good, in my opinion


hey guys


in all seriousness, good work. It's a shame you never submitted this as a BAN app.


ARES is still around tho

Hey look, the roosterpit glass looks quie tall and fragile.

Good job all in all.

ARES is still around tho
Wot I thought you coudn't app for that?

The back dark grey part is ugly, but overall its good. Nice interior. Would give a 7/10

Looks pretty plain to me. I don't like the interior very much. The floor is too 'clean'. (Doesn't have a pattern, or anything really)

Should've submitted this when BAN was still going, i would've voted yes,

And give the front a paintjob? 8/10


I'm not sure if I'm just picky about detailing when it comes to ships, but it looks rather bland to me. Perhaps you could've added a bit more variation to the hull? I especially feel that the top could've used a tad more detail, I'm not a big fan of how flat it is.

I also think that the crew's room is a bit too thin, it doesn't look like there's a lot of space to move around in. However, I really like the engine control room's design.

Overall, I'd rate 7/10. Could use some improving, but other than that it's pretty good.

woop woop woop
what a pleasant surprise

Hey look, the roosterpit glass looks quie tall and fragile.

Let's get something straight here; we're talking space age weaponry. If your ship lost its shield capability and got hit directly by starship munitions, it doesn't matter if the bridge is on the outside on the inside. You are going to lose half your ship in the explosion and be completely fried anyway. I would rather have a direct view of the battlefield via clean glass partition and binoculars in case of primary power failure than having my bridge defended by some extra bulk. And when I say "glass" I mean four-inch-thick battle grade transparasteel, of course.



Also, Mr. Hurricane, you said it's propelled by mass driver? You know that mass drivers are cannons, yes? Technically you could use a mass driver as a means of propulsion due to Newton's Laws of motion but it would be really impractical because 1) you'd have to constantly be carrying a supply of magnetic stuff to launch out the back of your ship and if you ran out you're dead in the water and 2) the forward force you'd get from that would be minuscule and definitely not FTL. But even then, those look like plasma engines, not mass drivers.



Rants aside; it's a neat looking ship. I'd like to see more on it though. The breaching system is cool but you should expand on it. Just ramming the enemy ship and blowing a hole in it with a breaching charge isn't going to create a stable entry point for your invasion forces to breach the hull. Perhaps a series of laser cutters would remove sections of the hull large enough for entry and simultaneously weld the edges of the entry point over to retain structural integrity?

Please take my criticisms in good faith. I say them only to see you improve on this design. I like the bridge, very detailed. Try changing the floor in the hallway to a lighter color; would make it seem less flat. Don't worry about making the bunks larger because military sleeping quarters aren't exactly luxury.

Aaaaand that's it! Good luck! I look forward to seeing your future work.

You may see the background handicap in the Cap'ns room,thats me : ).I sat around boredly for a few hours watching this come from a baseblock to this thing.I eventually started building my own and it looks like a turd,an aerodynamic turd,but thats all I can say about it...ANYWAY:9/10.I like everything but the interrior is a little cramped.

In theory, the mass driver is supposed to act like an accelerator because, in fusion reactors, reactions are controlled by magnets.

Thanks.

What will lower your momentum? Once you're going you won't stop unless something stops you. The argument that "if you run out you're dead in the water" is wrong, it should be "if you run out you have no way of adjusting your velocity"

But technicalities aside, your arguments make sort of sense.

I think the next thing I'm going to try to build is the SSTO and Mass Driver from Ace Combat 5.

EDIT: Due to the rising number of heat-seeking missiles being dusted off and modified by less-than-professional armed forces and, for the overall protection of the ship, plasma flare dipencers have been added to the ship.
