I really like the M0 class of ships in this mod and was thinking, "why can't other races have an M0 too?"

If you're willing Roguey, I would like to create a Paranid M0 for your mod at some point in the (hopefully) not too distant future. It's not currently my top priority as I'm working on getting my portfolio online and applying to jobs, but I would like to make one at some point. I think it would be pretty fun and I love the Paranid ships - I've even got a few ideas of how I want it to look.

Any new ships would be great! The main reason why there isnt many M0's is simly because they normally take a long time to make.

I'll sketch up a couple ideas and you can see what you like.

Here's my first idea. Similar to the Paranid capital ship in that it's kinda flat and oval and most of the firepower is on the top. I wanted to make the bottom a little different though. I figured it would be a little less smooth like the rest of the ship and a little more mechanical-looking, but not too much as that's not how Paranid ships are.

I just placed the turrets as a kind of general location. I imagine it will have 12 guns per position like the other M0s.

P.S. I'm much better at modeling than 2D art! Big Grin

P.P.S. I'm gonna have to change this Bender avatar - it's driving me crazy!

Looking good, although just wondering what it would look like if you made the back more spikey. I would do it myself but the site is down, so I cant get the image Cry

More spikey like what the current Paranid ships have with the antennae and whatnot?

I also realized that, given the scale of M0s vs. M2s, this thing would NOT be able to fit through a jumpgate. I'll probably have to make it less wide - just kinda squish it together width-wise.

Ah, that could be a problem... "Capti'n we made this great new ship..... however there is one slight problem...." *turns around to look at the gate*... *bang

Just been playing with your idea, not sure I like it although:

I almost have something like this in mind - except more Paranidified.

Obviously more smooth and no sharp corners and stuff. Something more like a battleship from colonial times where the majority of the guns are on the long sides.

Oh, I just modeled it in my spare time...

Yeah right, lol Big Grin

No, it's from EVE Online. I think it's actually a freighter.

I was going to say... Can you model things like that given enough time?

I probably could, but it would take a while. What do you think about the general design though?

hmmm,, the overall shape isnt bad. Not so keen on the top / center part nor the outsides (looks rather sharp / pointy).

You must be a good modeller to be able to make such things.

I've had a lot of practice lately. I'm planning on making a career out of 3d assets for games and whatnot.

As far as the Paranid M0, I was thinking something similar to the shape of that ship, but Paranidified so that it's more smooth (doesn't have jagged edges) and other stuff. It definitely wouldn't really resemble this ship, I'm just using it as a kind of basis for the shape. What do you think about that?
