Vorastra Titan Engine Location

from Sins Forums

Hi, 

Never posted before, but this I have to ask - please change the location of the Vorastra's Engine! 

I know this is so minor it seems ridiculous, but it's driving me nuts, ruining what would be a great ship! 

Anywhere but in the middle of the metal underbelly would be great - maybe in the wing arches next to the body? Or at least texture in some sort of exhaust the thrust seems to be coming out of! At the moment it just looks stupid (to me anyway).

Notice it doesnt even actually have an engine, there's just the flame coming out of nothing at all.

Yeah, that's my problem I guess- it could stay where it is if there was just something for the flame to stick out of! Also, why is the flame so small? It looks like a frigate engine is powering the titan 8(| , especially when you look at some of the engines on the cap ships...

Just get it rid of it completely, if you are not going to retexture. Cylon baseships have no engine-trails as well. Nor does Orkulus. And they are ok.

That bugs me too because it smashes my Advnet Psitech drive theory for the Discord Battleship! >:(

 

I agree with Timmy, either give it real big badass engines or none at all.

I have to admit this really bugs me too, even though it is just a trivial little thing. It just looks really wrong, not just the placement, but how would such a tiny little engine push that thing.

They probably just overlooked it... Talking about engines by the way, they should put the engine trail of the new Advent battleship a little more upwards. right now it doesn't really line up with the texture used for the ship.

Looks fine to me.

 

Psitech engines WOOHOO!

There seem to be two depressions in the back of the tail. Is that where the engines are supposed to be?

As I stated, that is clearly the exhaust from the overworked psychic interns... it's obvious!

Of course! Moving the ship, reinforcing the hull AND using psychic abilities on enemy ships all at once has to have a toll on the crew.

 

No, but seriously, it could make sense in a way, but not overheating...

SO what do you think the likelihood of someone on the dev team seeing this post, thinking 'yeah, that engine is obviously in the wrong place, and its WAY too small, lets do something about it,' and actually doing something about it. I didn't realise until recently just how small the team actually is...

Very small chances.
