I think it'd look better if the arms are modeled to look like there were small interconnected parts held together by forerunner wizardry than if it was textured in.

A fighter only shipyard and the frigate version. The frigate one wont be included to my knowledge but it will most likely be in Covenant at War.

Nice, we needs these now. The portals up, time for the forerunners.

[Bornstellaris]

I really enjoy working with forerunners, I don't know what it is but they just gel really well with my modelling style.

If we can find a use for them we'll feature both. But yeah we don't have many Forerunner plans yet in comparison to SotP

Who should I send the .obj file to?

Shoot me them, and I'll get them along to Annihilater. Nice work on these, though.

Thanks man, my skills are coming along quite a bit. Besides I wanted to get these out of the way so I can focus on the modelling competition, it's gonna be sweet.

EDIT: PM, Away!

I'm guessing that the shipyard that produces these is an unmovable frigate that has no weapons and a Massive amount of health and shields

 

 

Edit: also another thing the sphere of the Onyx sentinel is it going to be Team coloured or is it not going to be team coloured. and if you could move the onyx factory would it be jump capable (which woud be beyond awesome)

[Bornstellaris]

I think the dev team will have them as immovable and invincible structures that can be captured and lost.

I'm not sure, if they have team colouring it'll probably be the glow of the beams or something.

[Sneer]

Are the factories going to be armed in any way, or will their only defenses be the Sentinels they produce, and as for Sentinels, does the factory function more as a hanger, or are the sentinels going to count as actual ships?

 

Also, tangent, has anyone thought of having the factory move but be stuck in the gravity well vis-a-vis the Varsari starbase?

[Defender0]

I'm not sure. If they wanted a formed together sentinel then I'd be easier to do it model wise, besides I like them in single ship formation and I'm not sure what the dev team likes.

I have an idea regarding the onyx sentinel combining ability, and a thread thoroughly explaining my idea in the playtester section, i just havent had someone approve of the idea yet. that being said, it hasnt been denied yet either.

[CQBEXPT]

I cant upvote you and harder defender.

[Bornstellaris]

Just thought I'd put up these nicer renders of the shipyard and the sentinel. Loved the portal in-game when I played SotP the other day, can't wait until these are in.

That onyx sentinel makes me giddy...

Thought it might. Seeing as you are the forerunner lead.

poly count? im considering making it strikecraft, probably the bomber, when i get to it so this might be important

[Bornstellaris]

It's about 900 I think but I was talking to Annihilater102 and he was saying that they have been optimized so I'm not sure what the poly count is now.

awesome

[Bornstellaris]

awesome

It's about 600 now, after Annihilaters optimising.
