So guys another model almost done and this one is my very first fighter Named the "Serenity Starfury" no it has nothing to do with babylon 5 however and this is where it gets a little interesting
one day i was replacing cockpit textures on a thunderbolt starfury a x-wing and a old bsg viper
making them more see through which would hopefuly get reflected ingame
and suddenly i started wondering what would they look like as one ship
this is how it went

i finally added the cockpit canopy the land gear and a laser gun in the style of a minigun for alittle fun hehe
still wanting more i plan to add some details on the back section on top and on the back faces of the main body, missle launchers or rocket pods will be added when i decide where to put them and in due time i will be adding a detailed cockpit anyhow heres some renders to drool over
First of all, nice work!
I like you missile launch system, but judging from the previous renders and the last one, aren't the missiles kinda thin? Comes across to me that judging from the cockpit size they are the size of thick brances, which is kinda thing for a missile from my point of view
:edit: added the renders let me know what you think
Nice design overall, however I'd say the missiles detailing needs a bit more work maybe a smoothing group on them to make them a little less flat, granted smooth objects do have problems in renders with been seen, however I believe this can be fixed with use of lighting or finer detailing.
closed = closer to wing this is mainly for landing the fighter
midway = for extra control when docking in a space station
open = maximum control
also they can be left closed resulting in less drag , as for the missiles they are prime dummy models i'm concentrating on detailing the cockpit next and as the missiles are basicly fire and forget didnt see much point in over cooking them
let me know your opinions and what kind of layout would best suit this small space
joystick between the legs or joystick on the right with the power controls on the left ??
anyhow here the render of the cockpit seat setup
again i apologise for being off the grid for so long hope i can still keep this one interesting
