Have you considered something along the lines of a 'catamaran' style with two hulls, side-by-side, and a small adjoining area between them for quarters and such?

Like an H shape??

Any ideas out of the remaining races who you think it would suit? Maybe Kiadian? Dunno

I've always thought starships shaped that way looked great, though, and always add an unusual concept to the mix.

Edit: Like the Lyrans from SFB/C or especially that Amarr destroyer in Eve Online.

Something like the Lyrans from SFB/C would possibly work for the Sluken with some tweaking of course.

Status: offline 		Excellent Igard!!!  I've had an idea in my head for Ketarov for ages, but not sure how to make it, this shape would complement it or replace it well!  Basically I wanted them to be long and rectangularish, blocky not really curvy, but with one side longer than the other, its hard to explain.  But I think H style ships would go nicely with, or instead of that, I might have a play around with Ket ships

These guys are coming next, its probably going to be controversial because they are the main bad guys in the game (excluding the Shakturi). I imagine most people would expect either big chunky looking tough nasty ships, or pointy sleek looking evil ships, however I've gone for something unconventional Been doing some practice with this style for a while, now to make them for real

Boskara or Sluken? I'm gonna say Boskara, eventhough the ship looks like it could belong to Sluken also. Looks very nasty, in good way.

The Red has more impact, but the Purple goes with their colour/running lights and looks a bit different as nobody else has purple. I'm totally 50/50 on this one!

I'm about 60/40 in favor of purple. Matches Boskaras colors better. But the red looks so cool and menacing. Decisions, decisions...

I'm gonna vote for purple. It looks more "Buggish" when red looks more "spiderish" ala Dhayuut.

Offtopic: But most of the dark colors eat up the shapes of beatiful cars! Oh well... apples and oranges...

I always wondered why I would see a yellow Ferrari on the street. I would ask a friend "Why would you have it in yellow?", they would reply "I think it looks great" and I would simply say "Yeah but it still looks better in red".

Yellow Farraris look great, Red will always look better!

Hmmm... Are yellow Ferraris cheaper than red ones? I'd tend to think so.

NefariousKoel, Nice. That looks much the same as the Lyran destroyer I posted but way better graphics. Yeah, it does look like Ketarov. I was actually meaning that it could be Sluken, but with a different colour scheme and some 'insecty' bits added. But, true enough, it does look Ketarov.

Hey all, here is another Boskara thingy, a Primary Basehive (Large Spaceport)

Purple is now the default colour when you install the mod, red versions of all ships and bases will also be available in an extra folder to replace the Purples if you like

ETA: Tomorrow

I was just gonna request an HR Giger-ish shipset, looks like you're one step ahead :D
im so happy right now. ffffuu :)

How are you planning on doing the Kaidan's? (the ones i proposed to have the sleek "grey-ish" designs)
Looking at their portraits and such, they do look like they'd fit with very sleek almost "wax-molded" ships, like their suit or head looks lol.
But some kind of flesh-colored organic style (though symmetrical, they seem a bit perfectionist) would also fit imo. Though i dont know how hard that would be to do :)

If you've ever seen the movie Existenz, you know what i mean :D

My own picture of Kiadian ships is something similar to originals. Very high tech but still sturdy. I especially like the original destroyer and heavy cruiser.
Interesting to see what Woodman comes up with 'em.
