<div class="IPBDescription">Possible New Dropship?</div> I've been messing around in MS in the last few hours, due to sheer boredom, and not much to model right now, and i came up with this. It weighs in at 828 polys, i may go further with it if someone wants it, if not, i'll delete. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Yeah, i like that style of wing, too. I found some images on some random site Google threw up, and it had a ship with a similar wing design. Looks very agressive, yet sleek.

    I must say i detest the fuselage though, it's horridly hexagonal, i may just rip the wings off and put them on something else, lol. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    well, it IS a dropship ofcourse, what use would it be if it was nice an sleek an slim like a fighter, when you could fit in only 3 marines...

    The model is great except for one thing, the wings. Front view of it is nice same with rear view. But the side and top views make the wings look horrid, maybe you should thin them out? Not on the Y scale but on X, just my suggestion <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Ahh yes, as said before, Death Gliders, i'd actually never thought about those. O_o I guess there is a similarity with the wingshape, but that wasn't my inspiration. <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo--> The wings originate from a cool picture i saw on a random Google site, the cockpit was inspired by the Fairchild A10 ThunderBolt II, one of my favourite planes, as you can tell by the trademark Vulcan cannon hung under the nose.

    I'm almost finished with a new build, just working on the engines. Looks alot nastier now, with some RAH-66 Comanche-eqs missile bays, also weighs in at almost 1,200 polys. :/
    Hopefully once i've fixed the engines, that will drop a bit.

    detail on the feet, exactly that, put nuematics, some gears, whatever. and guns, it may be a dropship but so is a bell 212 and those puppies had napalm so it never hurts to make it look beefy and dangerous

    Umm, I'd put in minigun on the back ramp, to cover the marines when they load off. And if you are going to keep the feet like that (flat), you're going to need to add in some sort of vertical takeoff/landing thruster thingy to the bottom of the ship.

    The lower the polies, the better. When it comes to buildings, weapons, players, whatever, you can afford extra polies here and there. Lowpoly users can survive without them, and are not being forced to chug along with them on the screen.

    However, map models, EVERYONE has to contend with the same model, which is why I'd do them with minimum-spec machines in mind. My<a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=34196&st=0' target='_blank'>Medusa Mk. II</a> for example sits at 434 polies. I wanted to do some interior details, but was stuck with the generic box, otherwise the polycount would eventually kill some users. Not a good idea for a map trying to make it into a future version of NS. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    You could actually contact the NS single player people, ask them if they need a dropship. They might like yours <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->

    I sure as heck do. One thing though- the missile racks...does a dropship really need that many?

    Map makers like dropships. Curiously enough though, I haven't seen a single one, but... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'><!--endemo-->

    When Headcrab's Ferrin is released, I'm sure we'll see a few maps starting to trickle out featuring dropship world models...

    to tell the truth, the swept wing beauty obliterates the Ferrin, Plus since --->>> <b><i><u>everyone who did a skin never posted it</u></i></b><<----, im gonna scrap Ferrin. Thne Longsword pwns her.

    Ok, a new update, i've removed the engine intakes/exhausts, they can go on with the skin i think, and they took over 200 polys. The Comanche style missile pods have been removed, and VTOL thrusters installed in their place, now only 4 missiles are on the ship, 2 under each wing. The internal bay has also been made a square shape, rather than hexagonal. She now stands at 724 polys.

    She's also had a name change, she is now The Pegasus, named after Greek mythology.
