Guess the Shivans are stupid to focus most of their weaponary at the front then. (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

Yes, but don't forget that the Omega is somewhat less maneuverable than a greased pig on a skating rink...All Shivan ships are maneuverable enough that they can bring their main weapons to bear relatively easily.

Any renders of other ships besides the Starfury, Omega destroyer, Minbari cruisers and the others we've been seeing around here lately?

Maybe a Warlock destroyer in action or an Omega X destroyer or something else?

Hey Reaperman! Something I've noticed with your renders... I think if you could, you should try and improve your thruster glows. They just don't look hot enough to be engines. Just a pointer. If you'd like, I can alter that pic above and show you what I mean.

Like this. Okay, they're FS2 Terran engines... but hey, they look hot like engines should...  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

Actually, Omega Class Destroyers are very maneuverable. On the show you can see them turning around in just a few seconds. Actually, they are almost more maneuverable than the gravity-drive based ships (as are the Starfuries)...
