Description
Please use full view for all the details!I had this lying around on my back up hard drive for ages and never got to finish it properly. Since it's made in AutoCAD, which is a slow-ass way of drawing btw, and I seem to be unable to re-install AutoCAD for some god only knows reason, I figured: let's see how many comma's I can cram into one senctence, you know, before it starts to annoy people, kinda like this, and anyway, I decided to finish it in photoshop, but its taking forever to learn the massive difference between my old Elements version and the CS3,which I have now. Thought it best to keep it simple and monochrome. once made a great tutorial on coloring & background glow and such, but ever since discovering Sketchup, I can't seem to bother with 2D drawings. Not in the least because I suck at them
About the ship itself:
The original design is from my discontinued Offworld universe, which also sprang forth the Cypan fighter. And just like that one, I recycled it for and my shared project to create the Nullworld universe. It's a desperate attempt to match the alien fleet power coming to visit Earth. Two seperate designs of a space-borne carrier and a heavy battleship were combined into one superstructure. The main design bureau was a European consortium, instead of 's ships, which are North American (hence the radical difference in design style. His are deckwise, mine is a Forward-Is-Up approach).
Even though a feat of human engineering, it still suffered heavy losses and was forced to retreat during the first and only battle between the Combined Space Forces and the Cypans. Her commander, Aeron Jacob 'Tombstone' Thorne then ordered her to flee into the Nullgate and seek help. Failing that, she ended up as a part of Tortuga Station, crippled and defeated, only to be used as housing for the militant Human Alliance.

Hmmm, good question. I never really measured it, but it should be around 900 meters. And delicate? No, I wouldnβt call it delicate just because it isnβt box-shaped.

Now look at this! It's come a long way man! Het is goed om dit design hier op DA te zien. Ik vond de doorsnedes altijd erg goed gedaan. Wat een bakbeest! Ik vond het altijd erg knap hoe je de Scultone turrets zo netje in die sideview hebt weten te krijgen (met de ene turret 120 deg gedraaid t.o.v. de andere)
De beschrijvingen onder de doorsnedes zou ik persoonlijk met een iets kleiner lettertype doen (en de 'bullets' aan de rechterkant zijn niet uitgelijnd met de overige tekst). Anyway, ik heb er bewondering voor dat je dit uit AutoCAD hebt weten te persen. Is een hele klus geweest!

Hehehe, de texten zijn wel uitgelijnd, maar alleen op het zij-aanzicht. Maar je hebt wel gelijk, het is eigenlijk niet zo'n netjes gezicht. Ik moet het maar ff fixen, want al die text staat toch gewoon in photoshop... Thanx for the !!
