Eve Online Nyx Supercarrier

[Lucrin]

This is my tribute to the Nyx Supercarrier from Eve Online. It is very much still a work in progress but I thought it was at least far enough along at this point to see what you all thought of it?

I could never build anything that good, my best ship is a 20x20 cube XD

nice :D

Amazing! Download by any chance?

 

[Alviss]

COOL!

 

[Lucrin]

I might provide a download for it after I get it a little closer to complete. Still a fair amount of work on the exterior to do plus the interior is almost untouched so far lol.

 

[Banananas]

awesome :D you know you want to do a Hel next

I just looks rough with not all that much detail in the skin.

 

[Lucrin]

I know it\'s a little rough in places but like I said I am not done with it. For example most of the wedging to smooth out the exterior still needs done. As far as the detail though I chose the scale of the ship to be like it is because it is the lowest resolution that the shape and detail of the ship can be fairly easily recognizable without the ship being so massive that it is functionally useless. It is already approaching 50,000 blocks so I didn\'t want to go too overboard or I would never get enough thrust to move it.

For a second I thought this was going to be a 1:1 scale of the Nyx. Still a very impressively sized and well built Nyx. Very nice job, can\'t wait to see it finished.

The Nyx happens to be one of my favorite ships from Eve Online, and you did it great justice.

 

[MichaelSeph]

Looks cool indeed :D

 

[Lucrin]

Ya, a 1:1 model would be cool indeed to complete but there are some big problems with that:

1. It wouldn\'t be flyable
2. It would take ages to walk through
3. You couldn\'t even see the whole ship because the draw distance can\'t go high enough lol

Glad you guys seem to like it. Currently I am trying to wrangle the interrior into something presentable but it is proving to be difficult because of the games lacklust lights. Because of the tiny radius of light that the light blocks give off I feel like I am going to have to put way more lights on the interior than I would like to. Any suggestions?

 

[Banananas]

If you make the interior out of a lighter colour block, the lights seem to work better. Little bit limiting, but I can\'t think of anything else off the top of my head

 

[Lucrin]

Alright everyone I got around to starting work on the interrior today and I have 11 new screenshots for you. Let me know what you all think so far. Still a WIP so everything is subject to change but I am pretty happy with how it is turning out so far.

looks awesome, but you could have went to 600m length easy without causing crippling problems

heck, the Damocles is 800m and i only started having issues in populated areas
