And then there's the problem of getting the various artists who are left to settle on a style. We're all of varying levels of skill, background, training, and experience. Agreeing on an Art Director to set the tone would be a hellacious experience, I suspect.

Yeah, it's nothing like STO's F2P model. It's based on the popularity of large 'horde' style nulsec groups from the last big war. Lots of low experience players in T1 Cruisers lead by extremely experienced battle lines. So now their horde players don't even have to pay to do what they love doing: derping around in cruisers and killing stuff.

Meanwhile they get to watch the big boys do battleship lines and capital hot drops, and drool over the ability to do that someday - if they sub.

Pretty genius if you ask me.

Still a work in progress, we're knocking down elements of it as we can get to it. The collisions themselves still need a bit more work, but they're far more consistent now and we can reliably determine who gets damaged and how much. Ramming is a legit strategy now.

Ok

What's your potential account name/email address, I'll see if I can reset it.

The name's actually from the film Merlin, an inscription on Merlin's Charm of Making.

Other than those unnecessary cuts on the blue pieces, it looks pretty clean. My advice would be to bulk up the outer edges of the solar panels. Having an acute angle on a border edge always looks unnatural.

It's also a very large object - you can afford to spend a whole lot more budget on establishing the silhouette. You can make the core round pieces a lot smoother with more splits.

I'd also have to take a closer look a the round bits at the end of the pylons. It MAY just be that the resolution is making them look higher res than they are, but the non-wireframe image suggests otherwise. Try to keep your polygon density uniform.
