part of the questline I'm working on involves a ship from the Altmeri Dominion. Nord/Imperial ships are clearly heavily influanced by Norse and Roman ships...has anyone modeled something to use for an elfin ship? I'd imagine something with a double or tripple hull (Catamaran or a primary hull with two outriggers), very streamlined, with swept-back decorations on it.

It would be silly to use the Nord or imperial ships for an enemy craft.

According to the lore, you have your work cut out for you:


Description of an Altmer ship:[indent]
Made of crystal and solidified sunlight, with wings though they do not fly, and prows that elongate into swirling Sun-Birds, and gem-encrusted mini-trebuchets fit for sailing which fire pure aetheric fire, and banners, banners, banners, listing their ancestors all the way back to the Dawn.
This is Old Mary at Water.[/indent]

So they're basically the Romulans of the ES universe eh, with PlasmaAetheric Torpedoes? The bit about the wings seems to imply that I was right in my Catamaran guess.

Wings, not catamarans. Sunbirds are birds.

But a boat is not a bird. a boat with "wings" would be some kind of Catamaran most likely, otherwise it would be topheavy and capsize.
