Finally, the Kraken reborned as the Reaper.
UPDATE: Formerly called the Kraken, I've renamed it Reaper to honor Ryuk the Reaper, our PB brother, who was killed in a terrorist attack at an airport in the Philippines. May he rest in peace.
Reaper, Dreadnought
- I've redesigned the hull completely.
- The rear secondary hull now has an "Enterprise NCC-1701" styled forward "flashlight" opening at the front
- The primary forward hull is split into 2 pieces at the aft and is held to the secondary hull by 4 tendril like appendages.
- The hull is UV-mapped, but the appendages are all still texture stretched. They looked fine as they are and I didn't want to disturb it.

Kenny, the updated ships are nothing short of amazing. The last ship (super dread) is so damn scary I doubt anyone, including fellow k'luth would want something like that de-cloaking nearby. It's frightening and screams spider death.
Your attention to detail with texturing is above the best I've seen in a long while. It seems like each model you design next grows better and better. I also like the idea of naming a ship Reaper. It fits the k'luth scene and shows respect for a fallen conrad even if the future generation has no clue.
I am truly impressed! If these were to go in game, let's just say the humans better start running.

Thanks Viv.
Whether or not the ship models will ever be adopted is up to the Devs.
I'm doing this for fun and practice.
But I hope that I done Ryuk some justice with this model named after him.

Wyvern Cruiser
This was inspired by my previous EVE contest entry found here:
http://www.darkspace.net/index.htm?module=forums.php&page=/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=49528&forum=134&start=0
I called that ship the Wyvern then, and so I'm naming this one Wyvern too.
Shape is inspired by a dragon/wyvern, obviously. Other inspirations came from the titular aircraft in that 1980s movie Firefox, some from the VF-19 fighter from Macross, as well as winged insects.
Also, credits go to Light of Aurora, for his dragonlike K'luth "Sacrum" destroyer design which set me thinking... "What if I tried this...".

wyvern: really like! especially the engine ports; bottom ones shouldnt be squared off maybe though? seems too ICCish. also the top of the neck looks sort of weird from the back view.
carapace: should be a scout =P
reaper: looks a bit odd from the front; too busy, too much going on for what is overall a sleek and simple design. really like it though.

Yeah, the bottom exhaust "deflector" is squared off somewhat. I wanted to differentiate it from the top.
Anyway, this might be an assault type cruiser due to its aggressive design. The other cruiser, the Carapace, looks more .... I dunno how to put it... smooth? in comparison.

Hmm. Never thought of that.
But you know which ship reminds me of a croc or gator?
Galactica. Especially TOS one.
