Avenger Class Design - the Saucer is way to long-forward.

okay. first: the hull of the ship looks nice, as the texture does. but wtf the saucer doesnt fit the overall design at all! egg-shape saucer only fits to a flattened ship (sovereign, vesta, oddy, a ship thats definetely more long than high, without a definite neck)

the saucer should be made "shorter" eggform. more like the novas (when viewed from above) the long-egg-shape completely breaks the "bulk" design. somehow the ships looks nice from above, bud sideways or lower- to- top view is ugly. sry i dont want to hurt the designers. but PLEASE just make the saucer more short-egg-shaped. its a minor change and would do a LOT to the overall design. more snubby somehow. otherwise it looks terrible really. MANY many ppl think this way.

    The saucer is the only portion of the model that I find pleasing. I don't think this thing is going on my ship list unless there are some different aperance options.

    im not saying the saucer is ugly. i say saucer and hull dont fit together. id like the saucers as a vesta variant ...

    its like having a back of a beetle with a front of a dodge viper. its just a design break if tthe hull is all bulky and rather high and suddenly the saucer runs away to the front.


    and while i really like the idea of reinforced pylons, but 4 floors thick? halfen that and its still massive and durable.

    I don't much like the looks of it either. But that's ok. Not everything in the game has to appeal to me personally. There'll be someone else who will like it.

    never been sold on the swept forward pylons myself, i use the imperial skin from time to time, but always use the soverign pylons

    I very much hope the avenger has the ability to use the soverign skins, like the Regent can

    For goodness heaven's sake, make the ship any shorter and it looks like a Borg cube.:eek:

    It's not a variant on the Assault Cruiser, so it won't.

    Also, first people want the USS Vengeance in the game, then they complain that what they're getting doesn't look right/good.

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    There are people that find the Sovereign ugly.

    There are people that like the design of Odyssey.

    There are people that hate forehead-ridged Romulans (and vice-versa).


    It's all subjective people. Some will not like this ship, but I think most will.

    We all love/hate different things and will have strong opinions but sometimes differences and going outside the box is healthy for debate and advancing new ideas.

    The saucer is the only thing stopping me from calling it the stubby mc-manlet class.
