It lokks like to a big Battleship, or something like Juggernaught. It's very big for a Carrier, too biiig but excellent for FUN !!!

I can't imagine the result when 20 squadron fighter are taking off .....

Looks good but it's rather seriously overtiled at the moment.

I'd be inclined to make that a full length, fly through hangar like the Galactica.

Make the connection between the two bulkheads bigger or simply make it seem more massive.

It is a brick - either greebfy it with more little bricks or put some slated surfaces onto it - some super/sub-structure wouldn't hurt either.

Nice start BTW.

It looks gigantic, I'll give you that.
 Add a raised bridge (like a star destroyer) on the back, sling back the pontoon (or maybe even forward), and narrow the front a bit, and it'll look good :)

I don't like the additional section. It just looks too massive to bother having an addition IMHO.

   Get rid of it and it's connector entirely and concentrate on the main ship...

Oh yeah forgot to mention. The rear engines look like hangar openings, change that please!

It's paint job and design make it look like an EA (from INF, not Babylon 5 :p) ship.


EDIT: Btw, what are it's dimensions?

Being a brick is not necessarily a bad thing. The Orion's pretty bricklike too. Creates a feeling of power, in a way. "I'm tough as all heck. ph33r me."

The darker grey texture, however, must change.

And are those hanger doors I spy? Do they actually close?

Looks too much like an installation. Maybe you can convert it to be that instead :) .

 
Textures suck. Model's pretty nice.

Some of the areas seem a bit plain and underdetailed.

Oh, can we see a size comparison?

I agree.  Make it kind of an orbital platform that launches fighters.  I am put in mind of a piece of the briefing from the Inferno mission when you engage their fleet in Earth Lagrange point.  It mentions that fighters and bombers will be jumping in from staging points all through the area.  I was thinking that they were being launched from orbital platforms and mini-instellations designed ONLY as fighterbases.

Later!

The thing that I don't like about it is that the fighter section is too small in relation to the main section.  With a main section that large, it seems like a conventional FS destroyer with an oversized fighterbay.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, since fighter combat is the core of Freespace warfare.  IMO, a carrier should be more fighterbay (and facilities based around supplying, repairing, and storing the fighters) than anything else.

On the other hand, it would make a great destroyer or superdestroyer.

Doesn't look particularly Freespacey IMO - somewhat Wing Commanderesque perhaps.
