Very nice work. Your propulsion system sounds alot like the impeller systems used in Honor Harrington series and the ships look like what the RMN Fearless does in my mind, and in it's description from the book. And, with that thought in mind, I think a special ability of TSR ships should be to create the famous impenetrable(nearly) sidewall from the books. On the other hand, the ships are different so I don't confuse the ships there and the ships here. The Elven-looking ships do indeed look like something the Elves out of LOTR would create, or maybe the Scrin from C&C3....
There is no lack of inspiration from Honor Harrington in the TSR side that is for sure. I'm limited in some sense to what the game engine will allow, Impeller wedges and sidewalls would be sweet but I'n not sure how to get them to work in game. I've been dirstracted the last day or so trying to get a working laser head, and its not foing well.
If I can figure some of that stuff out I may do a HH mod in the future.
Well depending on what the poly count of the model was to start with, a hundred or so extra pollies shouldn't make too much difference.
The bridge/obsdeck I designed pushed my superdreadnaught over the 1000p mark, not a huge lose given that its the end of the build list but disappointing none the less.
Question for all. How do your machines handle ships with with a very heavy weapons load?
Most of the TSR ships have at least 10 standard weapons, rat of fire is not excessive, but with twenty ships on screen its a lot of fire floating around. I've got quite a powerful machine and haven't problems yet but I figure I should see what others have going on.
