They looks more like frigates and corvettes than a Strikecrafts. You might want to give them a more agile look. They just look too bulky to be Strikecrafts.
In space, you can use any shape, these would be mutch eaiser to build then super sleak areodynamic designs.
I know that and I didn't meant they need look more like aircraft's. Is space its not about aerodynamics its about Mass. In space, the speed and maneuverability of a craft is depended on the weight and of the craft. And this crafts looks like to heavy to perform to tight turns and roles because the stress put on the airframe would rip the entire craft to shreds. (And as far as my knowledge goes the SOE-vers dose not have any element zero on their disposal to reduces there ships mass)
To be honest I wold love to see the fighter as the new mars frigate(Always disliked that frigates blocky look) but I dont like to see them as new strikecrafts.
One thing about super sleek areodynamic designs though, the TA is a human faction. It wold be natural for them to build sleek strikecrafts that are capable of aerospace combat.
Great models, I don't think they are too bulky, especially since I can't see their size relative to other ships. Regardless, keep it up!
Looks good, but perhaps to enhance the strikecraft feel, edit the texture so that it has a cockpit window
the fighter loooks badass however the bomber might need to be different
the bombers wings remind me of a cobalt frigate
That may be because he just grafted different parts of the vanilla game's models.
Kodiak heavy cruiser- front cobalt wings to be precise. and the fight also is the scout frigate frontage slight stretched?
dont get me wrong i like the looks of them but i find that they look more like shrinked frigates than fighters... need more of a wingy shape
The TradeAlliance are traders not artist/engineers, you have to forgive their lack of aesthetics ... unless they pinch/buy the design from another race!
I was gonna bring up aerodynamics but i forgot there is no air in space....
I love the Battle Star Glactica designs, the Vipers as strikes looked great, You should keep them in the mod! Wait lol I forgot the there was 2 sub, fractions in one fraction! But will there ba viper hoard this time?
There pretty big strikecraft.
