Ooooooh, i totally want a capship combat tech 20 cube! That has an engine!

I have to disagree; your garden variety Borg Cube-- ignoring all of the greebles --is a prefect cube. This ship looks more like a cargo container from some sci-fi game or another. Once I get some textures on it, it should look more space-shippy in a Star Sonata sense.

In my eyes, the Thatch is a gigantic cargo container.

Like it was said, the Thatch in C2 looks nice.

You called?

Kanga

Eh, I grew to dislike that last version I made. I decided to remake the model to match how I've always invisioned a Thatch while playing the game (I name my thatches Cold Storage 0A, 0B, etc. and imagine poking around in them looking for old gear.)

The concept in principle is similar to my last one, with removable modules docked to braces, but now the thatches can only be docked along the vertical axis like a train using arilocks in each command module. Once given a proper texture, I feel that this design will be great for showing the Thatch as a huge storage ship and not just some giant floating cargo container.

Anywho, the texture I used as a rough is just the Battle Thatch sprite from C1:

How about a pic already?

The current one does look nice; i guess for me it's just the difference in how I always imagined it (as above) and how it looks now. Something just seems to be... missing. /shrugs

Edit: Anywho, if the current model has more support I'll put my version in Cold Storage 0A (Yo, we put a thatch in your thatch so you can store while you store!) For now, I'll get back to the missiles and my reinterpreted version of the Hotrod (I hope it goes over well, as I'm enjoying making it.)

that is seriously the thatch? it looks fugly....

The picture sucks, the ingame thatch is amazing.

could you post a proper picture then?

In game:
