I like the design - well cool mate :D :+
Ive noticed in the last couple of designs the cockpits have been situated at the front of the ship. Its making them look more like aircraft than Wipeout ships - Just a thought.

It was intentional :D Since Harfang is the name of a bird of prey, i wanted to give it this aspect. Also, most WipEout ships are arrow-head shaped or dual hull. I wanted to differ from this and try to design a ship with frontal cockpit. When you'll see the side-view of it, it'll be more related to general ship design from original WipEout crafts :)
Sweet :D
I love the name 'hayabusa' - I beleive its a japanese bird of prey :)
Anyway - Look forward to the next sketches :D
here is a helicon mockup - http://wipeoutzone.com/forum/album.p...&pictureid=968
@ Mu5: Holy Macaroni that was fast O.O i only posted up the sketch like... yesterday,,, and it was a messily drawn sketch at that.
Awesome work, the playdough effect is probably a startoff thing but im guessing it itll look like metal in no time. (btw looked at the other stuff you made in ur album and they all look like gold bona-fide SCREENSHOTS. Whatever you use to make those things you must be awfully good at using it xD)
@Ace-Flo: Great idea for the Indian team alternative, and ive responded to your private msg with some improvements i think would be worthwhile. Hope the devs pay attention to this thread sometime.
Team Name: IPAG D
Team Location: IPU SpaceCenter1
Motto: "Hello World."
Team Colors: Silver and Bronze
Emblem: A silver square with a bronze hand inside. On billboards the hand waves then writes "HELLO" in squarish font.
Stats:
Speed - 4/5
Thrust - 5/5
Handling - 4/5
Shields - 2/5
The SpaceCenter1 is the capitol of the IPU (Inter-Planetary Union), a network of MegaStations scattered around the Solar System. The IPU was created in 2099 by Albert Hammond, a British entrepeneur who believed that the only way for humanity to have any influence in the universe was to create permanent metropolitan areas in the vacuum of space. Having officially declared independance from Earth in 2156, the IPU have kept good distance from the blue planet as to avoid any extraterrestrial conflict (the only major battle they have had with Earth Forces was over the occupation of Phobos, a Martian moon). Having seen broadcasts of Anti-Gravity Racing from the IPU Planetcast, an entertainment network focusing around terrestrial topics, the citizens of the IPU have demanded participation in the sport. For over a century the IPUG (the 'G' is for government) have denied these demands due to their iffy relationship with Earth. Many have lost hope that the Union would ever be able to leave a mark in the world of speed that is Anti-Gravity racing.
But now everything has changed.
Due to the lack of support that the IPU needs, Earth has agreed to let SpaceCenter1 move permanently from its home (anywhere between Jupiter and Neptune) to Earth orbit. In exchange, the IPU needs to compete in the AG Racing League and host a race each season on a circuit housed within SpaceCenter1. With this, the IPU can finally establish an ongoing relationship with Earth through economic partnerships and allied endeavours. The IPU's IPAG D (Inter-Planetary Anti-Gravity Development) has been training its pilots thoroughly, both in flying the silver and bronze IPAG D craft and in handling the intense gravity experienced while sitting during press conferences. With speed and agility taking priority, the citizens of IPU can be, for the first time, proud of their AG Racing Craft, the Terres.
The craft, with an experimental Mono-Beam design that is sure to turn heads, was put through many trials at the official SpaceCenter1 circuit. IPAG D, taking their precious time, tweaked every performance aspect of the craft to near perfection over a course of several months. Shields, however, have been notably lacking. IPAG D has no worries though, making sure that even weapon fire can't touch the quick-reflex handling of the Terres. Surely fellow AG craft will have trouble dealing with IPAG D's AG machine. This is going to be a great year for racing. Earth, meet IPAG D.
@Haywire - 'Holy Macaroni' <-- LOL :D
Cheers mate :)
Just read your PM Haywire, and taken onboard - the new stats to the Team Tez Dharkan are as follows:Quote:

btw, just seen the scarab design ship which MU5 designed for Haywire_Guy, looks coooool!!! Nice work there!
Also - I thought I'd add here that concept models for Team Tez Dharkan will be available for viewing some time soon - member affiliates of A.L.T.E.R.N have been working on something...
Would like to express my thanks to Mdhay for helping me with this!
@ Ace-Flo: lol the Egyptian Scarab design was created by Venom and digitized by Mu5, credits go to each respectively and i took no part in any of it.
Mu5 graciously digitized the helicon craft, if your referring to that.
No, it's perfect :+!Quote:

The other design is very stilish, but probabbly I prefer this only because is the my original design, not for other reasons :beer.
Thanks for all the contributes mates, very thanks, this means that am not the only WipEout maniac on this planet :beer!
