New ship ideas with 3d model previews

Curve that leading edges on stabilizers......and make them thinner on trailing edge, otherwise not much use of them in atmosphere
 
I would like for the ship kits to appear on the ship hologram on the right of your dashboard... It drive me crazy. Sincerely I can't use ship kits, main reason is I dislike most of them (I bought the krait mk2 one but it was a mistake, the krait is already perfect as it is, you can't add anything without spoiling it)
 
They do have... seen that on asteroids while mining in the ring.
And on my flipper python docked at a surface port.
But indeed they don't seem to be present while docked in the stations - maybe because in the station the shadow is not rendered but "pictured" maybe?

Oh, nice. I was afraid of hand waving lore setting precedence. The ship I use the most doesn't see me using the kit for it.

So I suppose it's something they can get around to fixing sooner or later.
 
oh wow this got a lot of attention.

Hi all I am working on just a few more designs then I'll make the video. and give a nice fly around the ships and give what ideas I want for their stats.
I am open to suggestions of what ships or what stats people would like to see!

So feel free to shout here or in messages
 
Lovely CMDR. I want to see the alliance to make a ship like that and have the adverts in the stations say "Yeah...I know...What ya gonna do about it?"
 
Read in Q&A that shipkits should provide cover when on foot (hitbox or so...). would think this is much work, as they have no shadows at the moment.

also, ship kits bought with arx are then not purely cosmetical, pay-to-win rants incoming.
If their engine is a bit like Ogre3D you can set the hitbox to conform instead of box or sphere. It takes up more memory and processing power, though.
 
Maybe OP could address the blind spot Elite's designers have been working round for six years or more now and finally give us a medium sized Imperial ship. You know, to go along with the several that both the Feds and Alliance have?
iEagle to Eagle Mk.II
iCourier to Vulture
______ to 'Dropship
iClipper* to FAS
______ to 'Gunship
iCutter to 'Corvette

So based on that, I reckon we are due two medium ships?

*iClipper being akin to a FAS overcompensating for something with it's wingspan

But adding a ship kit would increase the size of the ship as a target making it easier to hit, pay-to-lose?
I've often wondered that myself...
