Very nice! Though I"m not a fan of multiple nacelles, I love the square ones on the Yocub. They are very distinctive.:thumbsup: It almost looks like there are torpedo launchers on the fronts of them too.

There are torpedo launchers on the front of the nacelles and on the back. Thankfully that was the only experiment I did with having five nacelles.

Well the nacelles look great, despite being clustered in a group of 5 :p . A ship with just two of those would look pretty amazing, imo. :D I like the launchers as well, a very nice touch.

Now I like the Wilmington, its innovative yet fits in with "traditional" ship design. I must confess I'm not a fan of many of your designs, either because of the stretched nature of the designs (making them rather inefficient space-wise) or because they're rather spindly. But the Wilmington hits the mark, I may be tempted to take a crack at it if I remember.

If you're looking for constructive criticism, most of your saucer sections are very flat. Now I can see that these are low poly models so I wouldn't expect to see the compound curvatures like on the Connie for example. But I would suggest adding a slight slope into the centre of the saucers, or stepping the bridge area a bit. Just a friendly suggestion.

I agree about the wilmington, she is definitely a beaut'. I am also a fan of the klugman. She looks like she could be a high population medical frigate. :thumbsup:

I'm finding myself with kjc733 on my opinion over all. But with that said Wilmington dose have potential

Most of the stuff I have was developed to possibly be used in Armada 2. And with a lot of these I hadn't yet learned some of the techniques I used on the Archon and the British Columbia

There's something neat about the Sinaloa design. Maybe if the nacelle pylons are beefed up a little, it'll look just right.

The Trailblazer is interesting too, albeit the long tail needs some purpose. Needs some kind of detail on it. Maybe the shape of the nacelles could be tweaked a little to flarewith the tail smoothly. Still, it catches the eye somehow :)

And yeah, I do agree about the wilmington. How about giving it a try in Milkshape or 3dsMax ;) Can help ya out with Max side of things if you're interested, just catch me on messenger some time.

I really like the Klugman, Hong Kong, and Nova Scotia. With the latter, though, I can't help but feel that the nacelles are just a touch too far away from the body. It could just be the result of perspective however, rather than the model itself.

The Nova Scotia looks pretty interesting to me. I would just recommend beefing up the pylons a bit and then see how she looks. The Trailblazer is also an interesting design, but like the others I think that the tail needs a more defined purpose. It could have sensor thingys or shuttle bays lining it, who knows. The Wilmington is a bit of an oddball design, but I like it. Once again, some thicker nacelles may help though. The Webb has the most traditional design, but the boxy look makes it stand out. It's simultaneously traditional and very different which to me makes it look like it could be something that appeared on the show from a later time period.

Hello:
From all of your designs, my favourites are the Meyerhof and the Farragut, as I can imagine them flying around in the game and maybe to make some cameos in a serie, hehehe.

Keep it up! :thumbsup: .

The first and last of those are my favorites. I really appreciate your ability to make diverse but consistent ship designs. I hope to see some of these ingame some time. :angel:

I'll probably try to get some of these into A2 (at least with some much better texturing) at some point. Right now I'm trying to learn how to be productive since the semester has started up.

Good work all round mate. :thumbsup:

(I had a slow day)

1714 faces in maya, meaning it'd be around 3500 polys if converted for A2.

Copied across and converted my variation of the Wilmington in case anybody wanted to something with it. I have no plans to do anything more with this one, I have enough to be doing for the time being!
