StarConflict is glad to reveal the dreadnought we all kept waiting for months! Maelstrom the wonderful created by Federation can be seen in the ARTsection. In addition, you can get acquainted with two types of cannons: Laser Cannon and AA Cannon.
absolutely stunning work, i cant believe this is sketchup models… mind blowing stuff guys
any chance the modelers of this ship could do a extencive sketchup tutorial on a smaller firgate class ship showing us Aces how the masters work in sketchup?
Surely, there’s a tutorial. I’ll fing the link to show you.
Hi vesna, please dont forget about that link
thanks alot vesna. thats one awesome read.
That was made with Sketchup…you’re kidding right? I knew people used it for games development but I’d never seen if in action. The only thing I’ve seen it really used for is for Architecture (I use it as part of my job)…but that’s some seriously wicked stuff.
Out of curiosity, how many faces does the model contain?
• Project length: about 45-50 days
• Folder with all of the dreadnought’s data: 4GB
• Final Photoshop file: 210MB
• Final SketchUp document (without anti-aircraft turrets): 67MB
• Final area: 4,745,000 polygons (without anti-aircraft turrets)
what i want to know is what is the final poly count when ingame
I’d imagine it would have to be less, to save your computer having a fit when one came into view :D. Actually no matter how many faces there are on the individual components, it should be said that by the looks of the ship alone things aren’t being done by halves. Only reason I was asking is the department I work for recently had a seminar by a chap who advises Google on the progression and optimum use of SketchUp…so I’m really just being a nosey geek :D.
yes i can post on these now how come i could not post of these before :S
) no worries, it was a pretty cheeky question.
I do however look forward to seeing it in the great beyond .
Thanks Vesna )
I’m glad to seen Karnarak work that because i’m watching this person on deviantart i discover Star Conflict 
Maybe we fight against him ^^"
Man i’d be so afraid to go against that in game lol…
bandhelix, u’re welcome )
Drfolamour, Chasethecase, as far as i know Karanak is not fond of playing games, but i think u do have a chance to see him in SC )
Maybe a big ship at destroyed ? ;3
Whats the scale of that thing anyways? Im sure they will end up having to implement custom maps 4 or 5 times the size of usual playfields just for that type of warfare.

Kanarek said it was 10km long in his post, iirc.
who knows dont really care dose not matter what the size of it is as it goes with the old saying “the bigger they are the harder they fall” except its in space so it will float 
anyways remember it can only shoot one target if u swarm the giant im sure u can do alot more than he dose thats if u have the right fittings
besides a giant like that must take forever to reload for his next kill it would be funny just seeing interseptors swarming it
