Looks nice! Also, putting the stripe color on the raised detail like on the top there looks really sharp, imo.

Yes yes yes! It’s so exciting to see someone making a Corvette and really doing a boss job of it!

Those guns are much better. Now I need to get it to fire all of them at once!

The only thing I have a problem with are the wings. The bevel in the middle is an obvious cheap trick, you can do much better by now.
Otherwise the Corvette is really sexy, it’s class above everything else you have. You designed a really cool ship here, it’s elegant, “Homeworldy” and original, that doesn’t often happen all at once.

Thanks all. I am pleased with how it looks. The credit should really go to @Talros for the concept. I really feel I am just putting flesh on the bones of his sketch in many ways. It is amazing how a lick of team/stripe paint and the rough cockpit windows really bring the ship to life, before I’ve even started any detailed texturing!
@Pouk you are right about the wings. They could be much better…

Corvettes do seem to be under-appreciated. In search of texturing inspiration, I just searched “taiidan corvette” on the steam screenshots and the only results I got were my own screenshots of this corvette!

Lol, that’s kind of depressing! I think Corvettes are undervalued because they are generally not good capital ship killers… the corvette I hear about the most is the Laser Corvette.
Also thanks for the subtle use of my ridiculous street name.

@Dom2, it is sad that there are only your corvettes in the whole of steam! 
And also, @kragle ragle, you should really change your title.
Doesn’t that require that someone tags their screenshots? Because I’m not even aware you can do that.
If you can tag screenshots, someone tell me how!

Most of the time when I upload screenshots I’m not putting any titles on them.

A suggestion: check the proportions for turrets and corvettes in Turanic’s STD vette, Hiigaran Gunship and the Taiidan Multi-gun.
An opinion: try different shrinkings of the body, mainly in the X axis. Their almost-frontal view are fatty because they have a long neck and wide wings on the back. Maybe you have to shrink a little the gun’s side mount, if you are to have big guns.
I dunno, the bulk helps it to have a Corvette-y appearance. They are quite great as they are; I wouldn’t so much suggest slimming them. For a vette they really are pretty streamlined anyway.
Maybe the impression comes from the prevalence of white (in this stage of texturing development).
Could be. I am no expert on how color effects perception of mass though, lolol.

It is @Dom2 mainly. I just script and hope for the best! Working on attack styles ATM. I will do a poll with videos to see what ones people prefer later.
I didn’t know you can name them in the first place…
