Speaking bluntly I gotta agree with icbm; it looks like a centurion had a baby with an F-22. Still looks cool, just... not that different. Yes I appreciate the subtlety of the angles etc. in fact I'd prefer to have that model in game in place of the current cent... but the nukester is right in that it looks just like a cent with more wingy-ness.

Nice asteroid model, too. Were you around in alpha? The s13 asteroid was the same concept. That type of thing would make a great "dungeon" or fighting arena.

No, I was not around in Alpha.

As for the model, I'd prefer to see it over the Cent too. :P However, I would much rather see a 'heavier' version, perhaps something to replace the Rag.

That screenie doesn't have all the detail of the other one, but you get my drift.

I honestly prefer the current Ragnarok to Harry's. The current Rag is large and fat, and just looks like it could be packing the heat that it can. Harry's just doesn't have the same presence. Too smooth. Too sleek.

Same here, Id like it to replace a centurion more than a rag

bunch of cent haters!!! I like the cent as it is, but I like the newer version that Hary has made as well, would be cool to see one of those "research" stations come out with a special like that, perhap scratch the Biocom Vult for the uber cent!

Was that the same model that you linked for the cent and the rag, just with less greeble on it?? If so, Bad Harry, start from scratch, don't camablize. :) Keep it up!!

Back on topic:
Waaaaaaah! Photobucket isn't working!

[EDIT] I take that back. The rag picture works, but all the ones from previous pages don't.
Nov 02, 2005 Harry Seldon link
Photobucket seems to be working now. I'll transfer stuff over to my iDisk once I reinstall tiger....>_<

Badness has happened to my Powerbook, so I'm gonna salvage everything I can, and reinstall clean. No VO for a bit.

As for cannibalizing, it wasn't so much cannibalizing so much as linking to an older version of the model that I had saved, because I thought it had a 'heavier' look to it.

And since y'all are whining about the Pegasus being too much like the Cent and F22...

Quit yer bellyachin'.

Verrrrry nice!
Nov 02, 2005 Blacklight link
Nice! Gotta love the name :P

Would it be a UIT counterpart to the Valk? or the Serco Counterpart? or another faction...

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaang!
Nov 03, 2005 GRAIG link
yes !
Nov 03, 2005 Phaserlight link
Now that **** is cool :).

It would be awesome if at some point there was a story arc where the Itani decide to replace their aging IBG cent fleet with a new design codename "Pegasus", but the Serco are also trying to sabotage/steal the design, and the UIT can aid whomever they choose.

I like it. You could even move those 'wings' out a bit more - it would give it a bit more aggressive look - depending on what you were going for.

Or.... what might look even better - move those wings more towards the underside of the craft... give it kind-of an upside-down "V" type look. I dunno. Just some suggestions. But it looks pretty dang good how it is now.
Nov 03, 2005 Harry Seldon link
Doukutsu, I toyed around with your ideas a bit, and here's what I got with the upside-down V look:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v178/Dimpfinator/LongAngled.png

I can't say I like that. However, I'm quite taken with a slightly different version...which I'm going to refrain from posting up until I can knock up something that is a good rendition of what I intend for it to be in the end...you'll see what I'm talking about later. :D
Nov 04, 2005 Doukutsu link
Wow. Didn't think anybody would actually even consider anything I had to say. I like the longer wing type look, btw.
Nov 04, 2005 vIsitor link
Looks like the child of a cent and rag to me...interesting.
Nov 05, 2005 Person link
IMHO Harry, when you move the wings out it looks a lot less like an existing ship, and gives it a unique quality. Could you possibly try making the wings longer, (so they stick out slightly in front of the nose,) on the Long Angled version? Please? I'm no graphic designer, but I really want to see how this looks...

Thanks,
Calder

[EDIT] I've been looking at the Zorriespocothingy, and I think the Pegasus is much more promising. The only reason people liked the other one more was the texturing. You did a great job texturing it, and once you texture the pegasus, the devs will have no choice BUT to take it. (or else we mutiny)

What, like that?

And no, that's not what I have in mind. ::smirk::

Starting to look more and more like a.... like a.... bat!

I'm not making a bat! >:-|
