Alliance Fleet WIP (Mass Effect 3)

[BFGfreak]

I really love the detail on the engines, the gold/bronze really accents nicely with the greys and blue accent.

[Bones]

those are actually Bioware's engines I'm gonna aim for a much cleaner style of SR-2 ;)

and that's why I couldn't settle for the preview textures from my last post... decided to re-draw then again, now I think the main hull of the frigate looks much better ;) I fell in love with SR-2 allaince paint scheme and thought is would look epic on SR-1 (frigate) so main hull is done, engines comes next then exhausts and tower.

The SR-1 in the SR-2's colors.  I like the way you think Bones.

beautiful work    seriously, But I was wondering If you were going to release these two:

ME3 Alliance dreadnaught:

Cerberus Cruiser (I know you are releasing the model in alliance colors):

I do not know yet, Cerberus cruiser will be there for sure, but I'm not sure about ME3 Dreadnought, if I manage to find it in ME3, I'll most definitely port it ;)

Final touches to do before I sent all the ships that are ready to beta testers and there's the list of ships that are working ingame (just need to work on harpoints for a little bit longer ;)

Alliance fleet :
Fighter
Cruiser
Battlecruiser (Cerberus cruiser with Alliance colors)
Dreadnought (ME1 version retextured to fit ME3 style)

Collector's cruiser

Asari Dreadnought - Destiny Ascension

and here's scale chart of all those ships

[Shadowknight1]

Awesome.  Gotta love the Destiny Ascension.  It's so weird, but beautiful at the same time.

[battlestartriton]

  ...... Its full of win!!!!!

[Bones]

What is best about this list, is that these ships are about to hit BCFiles soon ;) this time nothing stops me 

[Killallewoks]

Woop, can't wait to download these awesome ships!

[moed]

Awesome Bones.

Great work!

[Maxloef]

the Normandy+Sr2 is WAY to big! it should be ALLOT smaller its pretty much the size of the defiant!

[Bones]

Yes, indeed that's not the Dreadnought from ME3, I have already said that ;) In ME1 data packages the model is called Alliance_Dreadnought. I will be trying to kitbash ME3 Dreadnought tho ;) with your reference pictures it shouldn't be hard so thanks for them ;)

SR-1 is stated to be around 150 meters lond while SR-2 was said tobe twice the size of SR-1, that statement would make SR-2 a 300 meters long at least tho BioWare isn't too consistant on size (in cinematics SR-1 is half smaller than Turian Cruisers and Alliance Dreadnoughts (both said to be around 600 meters according to ME1 codex)

I haven't been able to work on any of these for past two days, I'll get back to them tomorrow ;)

I have a kitbashed dreadnaught around if you're interested ;)

[Bones]

Sure, that will save mealot of work, thanks 

[Shadowknight1]

Well, the SR-2 technically has more decks than the Defiant...well, depending on which VERSION of the Defiant we're talking about.

[FarShot]

I refuse to believe there were Dreadnoughts in any of the battles depicted in Mass Effect 1 or 3.  It would go against everything stated in the Codex.  They have no business being any closer than a thousand kilos to any battle.  Just say they were cruisers, mislabeled in game files.  That would fix the sizing as well.

[Bones]

Yes, I've came to such conclusion as well, with Max's Dreadnought size issue shuoldn't be a problem, considering either ME1&ME3 ships assisting Normandy were cruisers (during Crucible cutscenes we can actually see real dreadniougt) so all the ships I have ported are cruisers up to battlecruisers, Dreadnought will have to be at least twice the size of cruiser

[Daniel Joy]

i can't wait for the ships but i will like u to try to make a normandy sr2 with full upgrades like at the end of mass effect 2

Untrue multiple dreadnaughts i think 3 can be spotted in the battle scenes also they can be seen in the Omega dlc cutscene battle where they are very much capable of close combat

[FarShot]

It's been stated in the Codex that Dreadnoughts would get in the way in close quarters, given that they're too large to maneuver their mass drivers to fire.  Were they in cutscenes?  Yes, because Mass Effect suffers from making space battles look exciting so they had to throw them in.  Just like in Star Trek - Data would say they were something thousand kilometers from an enemy ship, then in the next shot, they're shooting at each other at point blank range.
