The Kariek model has been optimized (from about 4500 polies to under 1000, without really sacrificing anything in the process) and given a new texture. I'm still playing with the little inset in the middle with the tube, which shows up pretty dark at the moment.
The Kariek serves as a light, quick combat vessel for the Empire of the Hand, available from the start of the game. They are best used en masse, and their mobility helps to keep them relevant as quick-response vessels late into the game. It was designed by Sycan Fleet Systems, which also produces the Vigilance, Syndic and Phalanx, in order to help the Empire of the Hand respond to the various threats surrounding the Empire of the Hand's vast territory.

looks quite good
Will the Phalanx receive a reskin as well? Because no offense, but it didn't look quite finished.
No, considering that the Phalanx is the baseline that these new EotH skins have all been made to be in line with and replicate. The only thing the Phalanx will get is team colouriing and a few more lights.
I see, makes sense. Thanks.
Corey, I could easily relate those ships together! Sycan Fleet systems has a Style easily acknowledgeable amongst all their designs, and It makes it feel like a more real universe because of it :D
Well done, it's not particular hard to get a model that is like 1000 poly count to look like it's 3 times that, just time consuming and you've done very well. Extrude is your enemy when it comes to low poly. Also a good texture can work wonders on a low poly model. Great to see you're revamping older models and improving on them, very few modelers or mod groups do that.
