Next Project: Clipper Ship

[Colonel Kraken]

Ok, I hate using Galleons for transports all the way up until Steel (in my mod at least) when the new steam transports finally come about. The gap needs to be filled with a clipper ship. So, seeing how I'm becoming such an expert at sailing ships , my new project is going to be the Clipper Ship.


Here it is:

It is an amalgamation of the Galleon sails and SM's Ironfrigate. (Hope you don't mind, SM.) I'm looking for comments and suggestions.


And here is an example from a picture:

Yes!! I'll definitely use this. Currently using your Corvette as a 'Merchantman' in this role.

I'd make a suggestion, but your Preview looks pretty close to perfect.

Wow! Well, then, moving foward . . .


Thanks,

Nice
Resembles the one on the picture wery well

Hoo-ray!!! This I've been waiting for! Galleons were used already in the 16th century, in the game galleon unit portrays even carracks from the 14th century - this is more than necessary.

 

[Ozymandias]

Excellent! Definitely fills a need as the game's naval options are expanded! (Funny how your creating some great units creates the need for more ... )

Very nice indeed. You have a good eye for scale and proportion.

Wow, thanks Zulu. But first I have to learn how to do this.

This is the best model Ive ever seen for a unit that hasnt been given feedback on. Its completely flawless.... If the animations are as good as that, this is the best boat in all civ3.. Firaxis should use that boat its really cool.. Keep up the good work..

 

[Kal-el]

Looks great, CK! Another unit I will need to add to my mod.

Ok, ok. Now my head's going to explode, it's getting so big!


Thanks.

CK, you're begging for negative criticism, right?
As I can't find anything on this ship, I have to bash you for cheating with the Late Galleass Death. The crew hid all the oars before the ship sank! Thieves!

(I don't think it will matter in the least, but I got to stop you from flying away, due to Big Head Syndrome. )

Just you go ahead and copy and paste. We'll sit here, waiting.

 

[Thrawn]

Wow. That looks nice. You better finish it, or else.

HAH! You caught it. Well, I was wondering if anyone would notice.

 

[Shady]

Looks good but it seems i cant find a place for this in my mod because Hunter's steel freighter (which i just named "Freighter") fills that role pretty good (civ-advance wise).

Keep doing your thing kraken. You're turning out really nice units.

 

[Yoda Power]

Beutiful, its big though.

 

[Architekt]

OMFG that looks amazing

With some conversions you could turn it into a steamer ship by adding pattle wheels & smoke stack for the next evolutionary phase...
