Evening all,
So ive been playing around, and decided on making a Science class ship.
I have no idea of the roles, i haven't really thought that far, who knows, something with regards to research, moons or something? Ideas welcome.
Here is the latest rendered picture, shes about 50% complete. The texture is far from perfect and needs alot of work, she needs more lights and a lot more work, but figured i'd let you all see my progress.
Its taken around 4 hours to get to this point.

I want that very much.
There REALLY needs to be a ship which has inherent bonuses to Archaeology/Hacking and maybe salvaging or even gas cloud mining.
Can't wait to see what it looks like when it's finished.

Looks very good!
I'd expect to see more bits sticking out of the hull for a Min vessel, but maybe that's just me being racist? =================================================

Fill the open area in the carry handle with a solar panel and add some sciency looking antennas/waldos to various spots around the hull and you have a win. I rather like the texture so far as it reminds me of a rusted flattened metal trash can.

Its an good looking model but it doesn't really say science vessel.
If you can handle some criticism ill offer some.
I really dislike the ****pit and I assume what is the be a vertical "wingy bit"/Mast. I might suggest reducing the ****pit and moving it back to the rear possibly incorporating it with the vertical mast at the back (deleting the forward structs?)
Looking at the Mast at the back i would suggest that it would be an good location for sensor equipment? dishes, radar domes. have a look at a sensor equipment on a modern destroyer or any navy ship Possible Reference Material
Minmatar ships tend to also include Strut sensors similar to the Sulaco which may be interesting additions to the front.
Finally I think another role you mentioned was a dedicated Gas harvester in which case you might wish to look at how you might be able to include the ORE turret mounts from the exhumer class ships.
Anyway keep up the good work.

It doesn't look very science-y. Where are the satellite dishes? The probing modules or antennae coming out of it, that sort of thing. It looks a bit more like a drone ship with the bay in the front. Otherwise it looks quite matari-ish.

Or it could be a corridor on a spacestation docking or something of those lines. It looked like he could of got his imspiration from a lot of different objects none of which are related to the Thorax or related hull types.

Design crit:
It isn't a very unified design. Even if it *is* Minmatar, it still needs to have a good silhouette with all of it's parts coming together to contribute to the whole assembly instead of standing out as unique parts stuck together separately.
Technical crit: you still have some texture stretching and some other minor issues. I'd double check your unwraps and finish out the details on your second pass when/if you redesign it.
Did you paint those textures yourself or did you source them from an existing bunch of art? If you painted them from scratch, that's a very good first pass with the exception of the front 'windshield' of the ****pit area.

Well done with the Minmatar look. Quite god art.
Though it could be more "complex", as most Minmatar ships have alot of "bits". It's a pretty major part of the Minmatar look.
But then again that increases development time/art time massively, so I can understand why you left it out :-)

It look's good, but it requires more duct tape.

Taking a few of the suggestions into account, here is the newer version. Again, no where near finished, and needs a lot of work, but shes coming on.

use red lights. it's minmatarish.
is that front gate kind of thingie? where does it open? sliding up/down would take it out of hull. maybe make it classic door swing.
great textures :)

I chose blue, as its less of a combat ship. Ie the Scimitar and Claymore use blue lights and are very role specific, as she isn't a combat ship im leabing more towards the blue tbh.
Yes the front bit is like a hangar, and yes it slights up and down -i know what you're saying but it slides into itself =p, who knows... Salvage Drone bay anyone?
Thanks for your comments.

Delicious, are you going to end there or further refine it?

As previously stated, shes no where near finished, so yes further refinement is needed. I still haven't finished the engines, the hard points (assuming we're following the lines of maybe some kind of harvesting bonus) and various other things.
Some DEV input would be lovely too.
