Description I'm Starting a process to redesign a couple of ships in the Terran fleet, for reasons that they all look way too similar, or that they just don't look right. That or just make a different model, so there's 2 different variants out there in the fleet. 
This ship however, is a redesign completely. I felt as a corvette in the original. Was originally going to make it a gunship, but I opted not to.

It was based off a doodle: Xenon Diplomacy
Though I may still edit the turrets to take a different, more blocky shape, I dunno, they're just machine guns, not rail guns.

Anyway, this is the model I was fiddling with for a few days, enjoy.

-------------

That Front fin 'wing' group is adjustable and can turn up or down. The Top and bottom fin are more sensory and radar hubs. The back fins are just fins.
The Corvette has 8 small Gauss machine guns, and a smaller group of 4.

The 2 long 'nose' pieces carry very small shortrange missiles. Crew stations are in that central area of the ship, weapon systems and ammunition are stored in those side areas. The bridge and the observation deck are separate entities. The bridge is tucked away further inside the ship, though corvettes are lightly armored anyway, so even small gauss rounds rould go right through it

Looking good so far.

Hopefully Maya plays nice for any future models.

Maya is a asshole sometimes. I had to re-UV this thing numerous times. It's probably why I don't UV my bigger ships

Gonna love the Gauss weaponry,I wonder if the Terran  had some sort of  powered  exoskeleton   infantry version ,nice ship model.

Powered exoskeletons are quite common. The Terrans use a more 'muscle suit' instead though, which assists them in carrying the weight of the armor, without as much burden on the soldiers.

Energy shielding does not exist in this setting. It's being researched, but nobody have been able to figure out how to make it

SO they basically hope that noone hit 'em with rail guns?
Or the machine gun can intercept those projectiles too?

or avoid the shot with evasive manuevers.
