It actually doesn't look too bad when you size it down, since you dont need a large amount of detail on a small ship, and its pretty drengin like.

The cockpit (middile) area is alot nicer since you made it more round/more like a cockpit area would be,not super pointy. Looking better. Can you see about making the tips of the wings not so pointy? But don't make it too circlish either, jut for a test anyways. Backup this one in case.

Non Rendered non textured colored test for Dreg carrier.  I will re render this in the new engine with the depth guides on later for final look and some scaling.  The green will be darker with the addition of texture.



not rendered Dreg Carrier re colored ver 5gulf



not rendered Dreg Carrier re colored ver8charlie scaled



Dreg Carrier ver8bravo scaled down a bit more.

[Mars]

I think the exact scale will be between the two vuepro77's scale isent exact as the games i dont think.  but i can get any scale i want.  Just examples using the new smoothing software and re color on a black background.

Dreg ship corrected wingtips (not too round yet not pointy either)
Recolored style alphavictor5  in simple render.

The drengin fighter looks nicer now. That image you provided isn't full top down though, looks to be on an angle

[Mars]

Yeah i havent final rendered it yet with the smoothing engine and depth guide on yet, but thats basically it i did tilt it tword the front wings so you could see them better.

[Mars]

remodded for color content and 10% more smoothing.  I did not like the red tint glass it dident look right so now this one has green tint glass.  I think it looks better.  Done in the first engine only.


this one has the red tint glass.  some how the green looked sharper.

Dreg carrier vers 12 dont know what you will think of this but here it  is..

before i start another race i want to finish the dregs so let me know how this one looks...

i knew this one was close for the dreg carrier but it kept buggin me what is wrong with it, so i finally looked at it really hard and i dident like the nose or the midsection polygons, so i re did most of the ship now i think it looks like what i had envisioned, I also recolored it as it dident match either.   There are several views here just so you can see what was changed.
Dreg carrier ver 13  (13 could be lucky)
model with lines not rendered.

model without lines low level render

model smoothed and rendered higher

while i was doing the dreg ships i went back to look at some of the older designs that were not so much liked cause of the smoothing problem that never was done on them.  i decided to redo re-render dreg carrier 3 and compare it to dreg carrier 13 this is the result of the fixing the older carrier you may like it more than 13 but please comment and let me know what one you like better 3 or 13. 

here is 3 redone and smoothed


this is the comparison shot of the two carriers

this is the new carrier 13 with the accepted fighter in low render


scroll up and see the shots of carrier 13 in better rendering i really want to know what one is better (paint matching later is easy so dont worry about the paint)

Truthfully, this new carrier style ship is pretty fitting for it. The other ship was still a pretty ok ship and drengin like, but it was more like a cruiser or battle cruiser rather then a actual carrier. The new carrier still needs work but you are getting better with designs. Good job so far. I would not worry about the paint, just make sure that each color is seperate where it needs to be, I can render it in the end (And make a 180 rotation) if we use ships. Rather, I can paint it with the correct colors as long as all the colors are split, so just keep doing what you are doing for that.

I agree with night. These desing look A LOT better than your first ones. The new carrier design looks more like a ship that carries a lot of stuff inside, while the previous looks like it's going to eat you for lunch.
