I know.
I meant that it looked bland compared to other Dominion ships (Jem'Hadar ships, specifically). They tend to be more purple than grey. This color scheme is just the opposite--more grey than purple--and there's something about this hue of grey that just doesn't sit well with me. I don't know what, though.

Its using the scheme of the battlecruiser, so it will have the orange stripes. There are really 3 color schemes for Dominion ships. The attack ship is one, the battlecruiser is another, and finally the battleship. All three look different in thier color schemes.

I couldn't link to the pic directly, so you will have to choose it.

At any rate, this ship is pretty much finished, aside from maybe some modeled weapons points or batteries...not sure which yet if at all. I reduced the polys drastically, so now it sits under 5000 polys. Of course, some of the warp vents and panels would be textures, so it can probably be reduced even more, say another 500 or so.

I'm still not sure about the weaponry, but it needs to give a single Borg Cube a run for its money, so I am thinking something on par with a Romulan Starbase. Shields and weapons should be incredibly powerful, and it should have good close range defensive weaponry as well as a full squadron of Jem attack ships. This defends and entire planet, so it should be about as deadly as any powerful ship in game.

At any rate, here are the final pics, the mesh, as well as the battleship and sep ship are ready for smiley whenever he is ready for them.

Man, the sep ship really suffered during the poly reduction process. That's too bad, but what are you gonna do?

It looks great, Raven Night.

I had no choice, I had to reduce the polys to under 5000 for the ship overall. Textures will fix it up. They original still exists however for when it is separated.

Great! I was thinking the same thing. I was wondering if you were planning on doing that.

Yes, this is a sep ship, and seperation is vital to it's mission...after all, this is really a defense platform. It is put in place and then left there. Rarely is it taken directly into battle.
