You're churning out ships like a machine. And what's scary is that they look good!
I see that you used a few basic shapes, stuck them together to make a decent form, then added a few details using MCedit, and a bit of block-placing. All up, I'd estimate less than an hours work for something that'd take me around 6 hours, and look no better (although probably a lot more detailed. Not better though).

This is a signature.

i am awful at writing fluffLaserbilly wrote:I think that one is your best ship yet! I like the shape and the detailing, both look really good.
Also, MAC is an acronym for Mass Accelerator Cannon. Calling it a MAC implies that it is a Cannon that Accelerates Mass at its target. I have no idea how it could accelerate a mass of lasers, but I would love to read the science fiction your write to explain it!

I always thought MAC stood for Magnetic Acceleration Cannon

+1 for prototype.
an MAC is technically a glorified giant mass driver which is a large railgun/gauss cannon.

Huh, I stand corrected. I looked it up and now I'm inclined to agree with you: Magnetic Accelerator Cannon. Thanks!Prototype wrote:I always thought MAC stood for Magnetic Acceleration Cannon

Re: The Guns of the Ayleid's
I have been expeerimenting with using google sketchup to model ships before binvoxing them into schematic form, unfortunately my non existant skill has kinda limited the ships, still; it looks quite a bit better than my last ship when it was undetailed. For some reason it is also made of stone, i will change that later
Here is a pic, it will (hopefully) look quite a bit better when i detail it.

Re: The Guns of the Ayleid's
From a distance, stone actuallly looks good on ships.
But it could also just be eihort.

That is a very curvy design. nice concept.

Curves are easy, just continuously change the gradient.
