This thing is going to the Previews from the impatient thread. Sorry I didn't put it there first, it was buried under a bunch of other stuff at the time and I didn't notice it.

If making things from scratch is difficult you could always take pieces of other Federation ships and splice them together. I think parts of the Kestrel might fit well for most of the hull, with a bit of Stealth Cruiser for the engine nacelles and the bow section?

If I do end up making a spliced together hull, I'm going to modify it after it's all together until nothing is recognizable as part of the ship it came from. I want this to be as original as possible.

On the topic of the other ships in the Tiberian series... I was thinking:

What if the Nod starship could be the Scrin Ship from Tiberian Sun? After all, Kane didn't find it... he built it! He has the Tacitus after all.
C&C4? Never heard of it? Was that some sort of quick grab for money like Sole Survivor was?
Although that one might be rather difficult to do as all we really have is just the tower section and a little bit of the underground portion (although I did see a picture lying around of what it might have looked like if it was fully dug up)

Also, just an idea for the Scrin Faction Carrier ship... use the Lanius ship pieces (both enemy and player) and colour them dark blue. Those guys have the same aesthetic going on.
Although the Mothership might be easier. Big circle, little tower and a forcefield in the middle.
Heck that could be the Shield with all the systems in the circle around it, outside the protective barrier. That'd make for an interesting gimmick.

I've not even considered the other factions yet, I'm going to take this one thing at a time and this first mod isn't gonna go by fast. It'll probably take a few more weeks.

He is invincible.
He is the future...

Just saying... the Scrin Carrier might be easier to create and it would have an interesting gimmick to go with it. As much as I hate Drone Ships, a carrier with a Drone Recovery Arm and no guns might be something interesting to do a run with.

If you'd like, I could take a stab at it.

Go for it! It's not like I can stop you. I don't really need the monopoly on all the C&C mods you know.

I know but if I go ahead and take a stab at it, you might think I'm deliberately trying to get you to do the work for me when I bring back the finished result
