That's no moon...

A "doom star" for Sven Olsen's starship combat game project (same as ship designs here). This one doesn't use the same top-down perspective as the other ships and bases, but Sven felt the top-down concept was too flat and wanted more of a 3D feel for this one.

Nomad Moon much? :D This thing just reeks of Homeworld influence, especially in the paneling and the hull plating. And the blue hangars, and the little orange antennae...

OK. I'm calling Hiigaran-made Nomad Moon parallel for post-HW2 era on this thing. Who's with me? XDDD

Also, really nice design in general. Very easy on the eyes, and has a real sense of toughness, like a Star Destroyer.

You say that almost as if Homeworld influence were a bad thing... :D

Homeworld awakened us to the truths that fighters leave drive trails and hangar bays are blue-lit, and though I think the concept of orange/yellow construction/gantry structures with white stripes predates Homeworld, I am only too happy to conform to that orthodoxy as well.

I must admit that I wasn't thinking specifically of Cataclysm's Nomad Moon, as much from that title was purged from my memory. What I do recall was that the hangars in Cataclysm were green rather than blue.

Aahaahaha it's not a bad thing at all, what were you listening to? :D

In the case of this art, it's actually a very nice influence.

Anyways, yeah they were green-lit in Cataclysm. I have no idea why. -_-

Well the Nomad Moons if I remember were the Taiidan Republic's idea of the Death Star... I remember Onslaught, that one "all non-playable ships from Cataclysm" total conversion mod, gave you Nomad Moons in place of the Dreadnaughts. Vast improvement I'd say... So that's where my primary memory of that is from, and why your Doomstar made me think of the Moons right off.

I think some of Cataclysm was good, some of it wasn't, and in general there's stuff I'd just pick up and leave the rest behind of it.

And yes, fighters will always leave trails, hangars will always be blue, sensor antennae will always be orange with white stripes, and there should always be a wired-in woman in charge of your fleet as Command. So say we all.
