SinKing, all I can say is; thank you for your honest opinion. Personaly I like the end result a lot altought I agree that it could use some work. It's hard to say if this ship will make it in the final game(as with every other ship) but always keep in mind that those renders never represend what it will look like in the final game, its all WIP ;)
I want to add that contributors get constant feedback from Koshime and the other devs, I think Koshime even helped texturing this one.
Good stuff. Except what happened to the thing underneath?
The concept art is only an inspiration source, the modeler still has artistic freedom and does what he thinks is best.
Just what Betelgueze said, you ::idiot::
:D
The thing with getting inspired by something is to make something out of this inspiration which is better in many ways than the original. In this case however the concept is way ahead of the 3d model. The concepts shapes are and odd mix off blockiness and elegant curves. Its some kind of organic-mechanic built. I can imagine it zipping away like lightning, while the model seems somewhat dull and boring in comparison.
I see it must be hard to compete with Koshime's concepts modelwise, but they are very emotional drawings and you get a message from the subconscious which telly you what these machines are and how they behave. That's really the fantastic thing about Koshime's style: he breathes life into his creations and gives them an attitude.
I'd really say scrap this concept and start off fresh. Right now its even hard to tell which way is front when you don't know the concept.
Otherwise this is still my favorite mod, there is so much talent in this project and its all done out of sheer love. So don't my criticism too hard, for me it just don't feel like being anywhere near the concept.
Bye,

It's of course quite different from the concept, but if you judge its merit only on the model, forgetting the concept for a second, i think it's pretty good. Not perfect, not excellent, just decent.
It's still far more beautiful than any ship in any game I have played and enjoyed! The problem with anythin Infinity-related is that it just all looks so awesome, you can hardly accept a piece not looking perfect. I appreciate you react so openly to criticism and I'm sure this is gonna look near perfect in given time.
Ich bin ein Berliner!

i actually like the model version better, good choices made on the modeller in terms of what to change on the concept
