The Dramakulian fleet is now operational and the first effects are being created.
Thanks to all participants on that task, and specially to Yann for creating the models.
In the movie, the P-Fleet makes the Dramaculian angry, which leads to an interstellar war.
We need a complete fleet with smaller and larger ships. The ships must be white and bright, which is a dominant color in dramakulian culture.
We the following ships/structures:
-Flagship (the largest and most powerful ship)
-Cruiser (a large ship, needs an fighter hangar)
-Destroyer (medium ship)
-Fighter (we have some sketches for that already)
-Space Station (where the HQ is located, only thing requires is an observation dome, where we will actually see the inside)
You can either draw some sketch or make high detailed 3d models.
We have a 3D modeller which can do the modelling after sketches.
Edit: Added picture of The DRmakulian boss and Dramakulian soldiers
Here a first try for texturing the cruiser. The end are colored redish, the yellowisch touch from sketch din't really fit. The hangar door area are illuminated with UV light, so that the pilots can find them (Dramakulian have a quite bad vision compared to humans)
This is the undocked mode.
The cruiser is arround 280m wide. (Size might increase to fit the story if needed)
Here is the station. It's 5 km large.
First image is view during day. In the second image it's shown during, also when it's in the planet shadow. So the UV lights are turned on, so everybody sees it size. It can then easily been seen from the planet below.
The observation dome/lounge will have to be redesign and reloacted to fit into that station.
Here the texture light fighter, also the cockpit not yet finished.
The length is 15 m.
Here are the combination of the existing ship, more might be possible, but it might not be really useful.
1. Covettes
2. Cruisers
3. Cruisers + Focus Module
Here is the Focus Ship, length 300 m.
Eight cruiser can dock at this ship and focus thier primary cannon into the ship, which are then combined and emitted at the front, to damage heavy targets. Up to 8 of the cluster can be chained to create even a even larger beam.
The docking is a bit tricky, so it must be done before battle. The undocking is easy and happend during battle, eg. a module is damaged.
The focus ship is unmanned and control remotely by a cruiser. It has no own weapons.
Due to balance issue, the cruiser must be docked in a symmetric way, since the engine power is generated by the module. The cruiser engines are use for manouver only.
Here is the Flagship Texturing. Not yet completely done.
The Flagship is more coloured than the other ships. The Dramakulian try to impress their enemy that way (It's how dangerous animals do that on their home world). Does it look to kitschig or all I continue ?
The black structure in the middle, is a heavy planetary bombardment cannon which is then diverted by the structure the middle. In the same place a bit lower you find the fighter hangars. (The red/yellow doors)
The round blank structures on the side are heavy anti-ship cannon.
Edit: Added new version, less colourized.
Please comment it.
Here the new fighter with textures. The fighter is 18 m long (size of a F/A-18)
Here is the Corvette.
The corvette is 80 m wide. The docked mode will be showed later.

I had to increase the size of the cruiser to 500m wide, otherwise it was too small comparted to the P-Fleet vessels. It would have make the dramakulian too powerful, with small ships. Also one scene required the Twister to tractored arround, the small ships just didn't look good.
Looks good. The red colour works well, it's a bit like the ship from "Red Dwarf".
Should there perhaps be a small obvious "bridge" so that people don't guess this is a modular craft?
