Considered dangerous, even when not in numbers and were constantly avoided by Besilon fleets. The Armidillo Starfighter was heavily armoured and used a shield system that protected it from practicly everything. Their only weakness was the lack of shields at the back of the vessel and the open cockpit, unprotected fromt he shields. Packed with only two laser cannons it didn't do much damage, but could take a lot. Made with Bryce 3d.

A very interesting concept you've interpreted, Sam. The skyscape is rather awesome. I just wish I could see the starfighter a little more clearly. It looks a little blurry through this monitor.
Bryce is a program I'd love to try it, and I will when I get the new computer. I suspect you're an advance user.
Terrific work!

This is very very cool! I envy anyone who can do 3D art. Truely amasing. You should be proud. Congrats on Mod's Choice too!

7 Sam ´AcidK´ Read replies: "Thank you Katie, I am proud of what I can do with 3D art and will be using this knowledge for Game Design and VR next year in university. It really is not hard to get into"

i like it. the background seems to set the whole mood of invincibility. have you ever played a game called 'Master of Orion' 1, 2 or 3? that's kinda what this reminds me of.


Great work! keep it up!

Sarah

8 Sam ´AcidK´ Read replies: "  I so want to play Masters of Orion (any one), because I've seen it on display, but never actually bought/played it/seen it in action. To be honest, I spend more time on Star Wars Galaxies to find much interest in other games (when I'm bored I do, duh duh duuuh, more 3D work"

Hehe. Sorry. ^_^
Cool piccy! The background really is my favorite, but the ship is cool too. I actually rather like how you can't quite see all of it...
Congrats on Mod's Choice!

Wow, this is really neat. I love the stars and nebulae in the background. The way you went into designing the starship so thoroughly is really cool. Congrats on Mod's Choice!!

1 Sam ´AcidK´ Read replies: "Thank you EmilyYes, I always like to stick a little background into my images (who wants to see nothing these days?)"

Whatever you do, don't buy Master of Orion 3! The story is still good, but the game fell flat on it's face due to a lot of bugs and design flaws. Someone spent more time writing the background than they spent playtesting the game.

3 Sep 200445 Shadow_spy, yes acidk, its meee.
Ok, i am not here to annoy you acidk, but that is a really nice picture! You can tell by the design of the ship that it was dangerous and looked that it could be quite stealthy in the background. Thats nice, I usually am playin an online game, making a game with game maker, or animation with squirlz morph.

Yeah same as above commenters, can't see it clearly, so I can't really judge it.
23 Dec 2006:-) Nunya Binnus
I normally don't comment on sci fi because it's not my thing, but this was too cool. I really like the design. It seems like a stealthy little thing. Well done.

Well, I cant really see the ship because of the dark background. I dont mean the background was bad. If would be nice if we saw that ship in action. Reminds me of Star Wars. It looks like a Republic V-wing from the Clone Wars yet it has good shield but poor firepower like a Y-wing. nice job!
