Please don't tell me you just whipped that out in a few hours. Your speed sickens me! :shock: :D
I never actually played either of the Mass Effect games, but I know a cool spaceship when I see one!

Needs more fish? :D
Well, it certainly looks very nice, I just wish I wouldn't have to sit at work and could actually play the game ;)

A thousand times yes!

GT, you are my absolute hero. But are you sure about this? I mean now that you've started, why stop at the SR2? We need the SR1, geth ships for them to fight, turian cruisers, Alliance cruisers, the Destiny Ascension, Sovereign...

:P

Looks gorgeous. Cockpit? :D

Well, we've gotta see about that. I like the SR2 far better than the first Normandy.

Not to shatter any dreams here, but so far I had no solid plans on building all the others (although I thought about Sovereign some time ago)

Update: I had some quarrels with the proportions and wasn't too happy with the stern section. Much better now :)
Right, and added detail :)

How I envy you your speed. Man, if I could do it that fast, I'd got nuts with all the spaceship ideas I have. It's mostly rounded things and complex intersections that confound me.

It's pretty much a matter of practice and routine. Remember that I've been doing that stuff since somewhat 2002, and some others far longer than that.

You're starting well. You'll get a hang of it.

Very impressive, Shepard. ;-) Anyway, it's gonna be amazing being able to actually fly the Normandy now. :D

OK, update time. I revised the aft section as well as the engine nozzles. Looks much better now, me thinks.

OK, got it into OPTech. The ship is about 260 meters long. (Thought it was bigger)

Anyway, comparing ME2 to XWA, the Normandy is much faster and far more agile than any SW ship of its size, while its armament is rather ... limited
- 2 Torpedo Launchers
- 2 forward Thanix Cannons.
While the Thanix is surely one hell of a gun, it's pretty much only the equivalent to an SSD's turbolaser - at least that's the strongest thing XWA has to offer.

I'll need to see how I'll implement this one. Might set it as a transport or fighter to have its guns properly firing forward, or I'll add some more weaponry hardpoints so it could play its capship role properly. We'll see about that.

Alright, fellas. I'll leave you with one more goodie before I go to bed :)

I can't think of a good enough word to describe that so, instead: :megaeek:
