First off, a minor warning: this IS an Atrocity of design - to me at least. So consider this as a minor ugliness warning.
This definately is one of the most random peaces of work that I have ever produced. It sort of 'evolved' on it's own while I was listening to the Still Seeing Breen music video, and I sort of let it grow. I really dont know what the hell inspired it, or how it got to where it is, but well, i'll let it speak for itself.
Oh, and comparing it to the Colossus wont prove your point, since I already know it to be true. I have NO idea how it came out to look to similar, but yeah, little choice in the matter :p
And yes, I AM aware that it suffers from the dreaded AC Sillehness. I'll put up an un-turretted model a bit later - this is just random turreting. I still havent put in the AA turrets, which is going to be a polygon producer.
Total length: ~5 clicks.

If you got rid of the big square thing on the bottom, and fixed the front it wouldn't look half bad :)
-
If that is ugly, I want to see something good! My only suggestion is about the curved connection strip on the bottom; remove it. While from below it looks great, it looks horrible from the side.

It is the HOMUNCULUS!!!
I'm rtealy not fond of that big blue window thing on the top TBH, other than that, i knda like it.
-
It looks like a large gun of sorts.

Actually, I kinda like the big 'Gun Rack' thing on the bottom, it's utilitarian without any concern about aesthetic value. A lot of our modern fighters/boats looks 'graceful' simply because they are pushing their way through a medium and need least resistance, I'd expect spacecraft to be far less 'pretty' ;)

Actually, this among your first ship models that doesn't suffer from The Dreaded AC SillinessTM.

*pokes Ngtm1r.
Explain yourself, dear sir. How can that not suffer from the silliness?
-
As has been stated before, the Dreaded AC SillinessTM is a description used to identify things which do not appear able to physically carry the ammunition/generate the energy for their weapons. While certainly approaching the Dreaded AC SillinessTM, this ship could in fact carry the ammunition for its weapons.
Just not much of it.

I fully agree whole-heartedly with the above statement. :)
-
I think that looks great. It looks more unique than alot of larger vessels I've seen (nobody take offense to that).

Okay, this is a little old topic but I'd like to say my opinion regardless...
My first impression was an unpainted Colossus 2 - this time with enough turrets for its size. :D
