Think rifle-ships no offence (Kuze are not fit in FL
Without stock model was better.
Invent a different feather.

That’d look really epic with the spinning part, nice work Fagu.

rifle-ship what a term…well you are right, ships with rotating sections are not for vanilla-based mods.

I ended up making a couple scale renders to point out just how much bigger the “new” Rhino is. It was meant to be a frigate or corvette sized ship. (Not necessarily to traditional Freelancer scale. More like Nexus/EVE scale.) For my project I also needed forward firing engines, so those are also integrated into the design.

The ship design will probably changed and get updated as I require new design features and think of other details to add.

Pretty.

This is not far from the Bounty Hunter Destroyer

Phoar.
I’ll have to retract my comment about it still looking like a cargo ship, in scale it actually looks pretty mean!

Good stuff!

It still looks way too much like a Rhino.
With a bit moar changes, it will look better.

It looks good, however the 2 windows near the top engine makes little sense.

Noone thinks about the engineers!
Can’t they take a break from looking at Flux Capacitors, Phase Manifolds and Warp Intakes?

If I were fighting that ship, I would definitely aim at those windows.

PD: The bridge and the engines looks like the Liberty Cruiser’s.

Yes well, if you wanted a structurally sound ship you wouldn’t put any windows on it, but it’s a game, so aesthetics very important.

Aesthetics or not it is not a luxury yacht or dunno what, I think those 2 windows are really not needed there…I really think the ship will look better without them.

It is not comfortable for workers to drop H-fuel packs to the boilers without these two windows! ))

The windows on the engines thing didn’t occur to me at all. Whenever the next time that I change the model is, I’ll definitely either remove or move those windows, along with some changes to the engine assembly altogether. Where they are now implies that there is a room where the engine assemblies should be.

And once again, the engineers sigh a solemn sigh at their plight in this dark and ugly world. ;(

I don’t think you understand the issue. Think of a modern fighter jet for example, or even any rocket. The nozzle you see in the back is just that, a nozzle. The actual engine itself takes up a large amount of space inside the plane/ship, and as currently designed, that space right now is taken up by a room in place of where the actual engine itself should be.

What I will do when I get around to changing the model around, is move the windows, and imaginary room, to between the two engines. This is a much more plausible place for the engineers to work as it allows access to both engines above and below.

I understand perfectly, I wasn’t exactly arguing for realism’s sake.

I think engineers are paid for looking at the engine block not star at the star scenery outside

And to second engine engineers coming by elevator! )

You know, you can always use our well old ladder! ^^ This is cheaper and it take less place!
