I really like the 3D model. It doesn't look so good from top-down. The blue glow is epic.

This is a concept I had for a revised Massif-type ship for use as in a line of Blue Photon Capital Ships after someone mentioned it in the Suggestions forum. The ship is modular and can individual polygons can be mixed and matched as seen fit. |

The front looks hideous. The back looks ok. I like the blue glowing capacitors, though. Maybe make a new series of capships with a blue glow?(that colour) |

Looks decent, but needs a texture. =) |

Yea, I didn't intend the particular arrangement to be anything final (especially the top-down, that was just to show a C1-like angle); I'll keep rearranging modules to make something nicer-looking.

Ok, I made the Massif, still called I, II, and III respectively. Each ship is most comparable to: Massif I - EF BattleCruiser Massif II - EF Battleship Massif III - EF Dread/ RP Carrier The Massif III's extra spherical modules would house extra fighter/missile launchers. No textures until we know if these models will ever be used in C2; I don't want to spend time on texturing for nothing. |

The thing I see is that this looks like a Combat Ship, not the original plan of Building Ship. As such, it would be a much relieved change from the green dil...capships that we have now. I am very much a fan of differing "overall" designs from the beginning, with general characteristics shared by certain ship size groups. However, that would also require some sort of Faction(more than one large expansive ai team) thing and more or less rewrite the entire class system. |

Ah, but these are not the Massifs as we know them now; in C2 we have the Massif line being an extension of the Bulk family, or at least a shared hull, this new line of capital ships takes the designs of the old Massifs and refits them to be more visually interesting (I still like the old Massifs, but they don't look much like warships) and more battle-ready-looking. Maybe these ships or BPs for the ships could be rewards for mission chains in this Blue Photon Industies area. I had written a whole nice mission ending, but it somehow got deleted as I tried to preview it. >.< |

if they are extensions of the Massif family would they all have a specific name or just add number at the end of "Massif"? |

Plus, C2 still has the Massif line, just with different graphis; this is a new Blue Photon Capital line. |
