Umm, thats how core looks in the real OTA...
And i think that the current goal is to run content from TA, right?

And i dont think that they are suposed to be insectlike becuase the logo. Aint that the core commanders head or something?

Anyway, core are computers. They have machiniry and heavy stuff. Arm would rather have something more insect like, cuase of spider tank.

The core fusion plant looks blockish and ugly, the cloakable looks better but not as good as it should.

The core should be more spikes, bare machinary and metalic, spiky, harsh strict lines, dark with contrasting highlights, red and green lights, golden, orange-yellow brown rusted machinary look, as if they arent bothered about their looks as long as they look menacing. They should also try nto to resemble familiar buildings and go for abstract unusual alien like designs absed not on what they look like but rather as long as they fit their purpose and it looks menacing ti dotn matter......

Perhaps if they also made more machinary noises, especially when moving.

While all models need reworking in all races, not just the core I am strongly against just dropping the entire feeling and design of the race. Core is my favorite race, an opinion which many share, thus making you pretty offending when you yell out "do you hate the core looks" in badly spelt manner. It should definetly not look like any insect stuff or any similar stupid ideas. Core is blocky, robotic, slow and heavy. And it will stay that way.

This thread is just a hole full of unrealistic lame ideas. Either make the race some better models based on old designs or just make a new race. Don't bastardize the race like this.

*double post* delete.

lol, no I wouldnt agree that scrapping the race and redesigning everythign is good. Just that textural a model changes are need to make them more realistic, blocky models arent pretty, and I dont like the idea of an insect commander for core either. Just put more detail into core with emphasis on machinary, menacing looks and cold ruthlessness, and not blocks and polygons.

i'll try to make some crappy concpet art, CORE should look locked and loaded whilst ARM should look harmless, until the guns come out of the holsters of the mavs/peewees

Still core shouldn't have spikes. Why would the core needs spikes? They don't care for menacing artistic looks, only how easily the thing will kill in combat, and the units should be redesigned with THAT in mind.

Core already looks better than Arm, why bother?

No I'm thinking of exxagerating sharp edges more though not too much that they look silly and spiky.

Core doesnt look as good as arm, it looks blocky and outdated in a lot fo cases

I dont think that the core units needs redesigning, as they are meant to contrast to ARM's neatness.

im pretty sure that both the races need to be re-made from a models point of view anyway, purely as a back-up set in the event of Atari legal issues.

Well atlantai that's your opinion. Should alot of people go through alot of work because of yours and maybe a few more's opinions?

I don't think so. Drop it already.

Atlantai? wtf that makes no sense as a mistake, stop misspelling my name deliberatly leftfield, insulting or degrading someone else will not win you merit.

I also point you to the topic above.

Also Core is not messy, it is blocky.

I'm figuring that those lot of people would share this opinion otherwise they wouldnt do the work.

i think that at the very least someone should remodel the commies in very high poly form... and i mean veeery high poly. i think we can get them looking more or less as good as those pics, and that would be soo freakin cool :-)
