CL-2 Winters Storm by Tamren_Shade on Sketchfab

END RP

Yep, the ship I've been working on since the fleet contest ended. She's somewhere between a PVE and RP ship, and I'm very pleased with how the Exterior turned out, but less pleased with my interior. I'm going to put the Winter on the docks for now, and possibly bounce back after a build or two and spruce up the interior.

Note, I'm not sure why all the docked entities are slid back about 15 blocks, I fear I may have to upload the .obj file directly to fix that, but if anyone more familiar with SketchFab has advice...

Love it, although I feel as if you should either remove that blue on the white armour, or make them windows.

Thanks!

Yeah, the blue highlights are one of the things I struggled with on this ship, the plating looked odd without something on it, I just had a hard time figuring out what to put on them.

In the end, I justified the blue strips in my head as a kind of passive detection system to tell if the ship is being illuminated by radar, LIDAR or some other sensor system we haven't come up with.

I'm sure I'll bounce back to this ship at some point, and I'll see if I can come up with something better. They look cool, but I dislike fake windows, they seem dishonest like invisible walls in a FPS. If I add a window to a ship I want to be able to enjoy the view from the other side! :P

Now maybe if they were crystal armor over lights that aren't windows.....
