I was speaking about this one, not this one

[Darius]

meanwhile, I've been working on the pre-refit version that doesn't have the heavy armor or artillery-type weapons (and is a carrier-type ship), figured to go a bit more closely with the original for this.

Ooer...what a looker.

(Incidentally, I was floating around an idea for a carrier variant Narayana a couple of years ago but I didn't progress beyond removing the artillery gun submodels and adding new bay paths)

Oh! Here's an idea. Having smaller mass drivers at the tips of the forward hull segments, Karuna-style. That way you still get the signature forward firepower as well as have room for the launch bay.

Oh, right. Derp. In that particular case though, I kinda dislike the new engine section there. Not that it's bad or anything, or that it doesn't fit for the other models posted here, I just think that in terms of fluff, why would they have to replace the entire engine section as well as the front hull?

[MatthTheGeek]

Alright are we talking BP or Ashen Wings now. I be confus.

Droid likes the 'staggered' gun layout of this ship, actually. So not sure if he'd want to go for what LAGGYSHIP's* full gun layout was with full MD railguns blasting at the front and stub wings.




*Block-One Tethys

[AndrewofDoom]

So the new Tethys is now in game wheeeeeeeee. (Okay that's the block 3 being shown in the screenshot but it's close enough).



Oi! time for you to get to work Destiny.

Get a load of this sexy beast boys!

[headdie]

that is pretty awesome

[Destiny]

Oi! time for you to get to work Destiny.

I will fool around then





Super-splat anime anyone?

[An4ximandros]

I still hold the argument that the front section must have dwarfs living in the armor

Or Shivan wannabe robots

[Dragon]

Hmm, those windows on the armor skirt do look somewhat out of place.

[Droid803]

Okay, not the best render but it gets the message across


Red box is human-sized (it's actually bigger than the average human at 2 meters tall)

I wouldn't want to be standing near those windows during a firefight, but doesn't need to be a midget to fit in a corridor in there.
The armor is pretty thick.

Also the front end looks really bland without something glowy there.

[Legate Damar]

You could put a nameplate there...

[Dragon]

Hey, great idea. A fancy nameplate would look much better than windows in there. While there's enough space inside for a human, keep in mind that there are better ways to use internal space in an armor plate.

[SpardaSon21]

Humans are a renewable source of bullet sponges.  Just ask the Soviet Union or the Imperium of Man.

[An4ximandros]

So my other theory abour the ship being gigantic was the right one, heh.

It is just big enough for rooms or compartments with their ceilings as the windows... so maybe the red shirts can have their quarters there. 

[SpardaSon21]

Ah, now I see.  The redshirts themselves are the armor.

[Droid803]

You could put a nameplate there...

The nameplate is on the lower armor plate. Double nameplate would look really dumb
And moving the nameplate would make the bottom piece even more bland than the top one.

Ship is the same size the Narayana is. (it's ~1.8km long), so yes it is pretty big.
