Nyctaeus was derived from latin noctis, that means "nocturnal". Night = darkness, so it makes Hecate my... Patron ship?

No it has to be mine. Hecate is better than Orion, that's why.

[The Hecate] is not a streamlined/nautical design like the Orion
Oh yeah, the Iceni is basically an Orion in a Deimos box. It's nuts. I wonder how would groups made out of mixed ships like that fare.

Wait wait wait. The Orion? Streamlined? That flying brick? :ick: :P
Say what you will about the Orion, but it is not "streamlined." :nono: :nono: :nono:

It's a fore-to-aft structure, as opposed to a vertical one. The Orion looks like a combatant, the Hecate looks like a mobile base.

The Hecate is still longer on its length than its height, so, no, it's not taller than it is long. Ergo, it's not a vertical structure by definition. As as for the Hecate "looking like a mobile base," that's completely subjective. It looks like a spaceship to me. A really boxy spaceship, but a spaceship nonetheless. What makes the difference between a mobile "space base" and a spacefaring command ship? Both move, both send commands to the rest of its fleet, and both function in space. They way the two "look" has nothing to do with all that. Isn't the difference between the two academic?
As for the Orion being "streamlined," let us properly examine the definition of the word "streamlined":Quotedesign or provide with a form that presents very little resistance to a flow of air or water, increasing speed and ease of movement. Similar:

"Everything within destroyer size" is still a lot. I've always wondered how much would Hecate's direct engagement force be if the bombers were something more realistically threatening, like UEF ones.
Well looks like the Hecate won't be a good dogfight arena centerpiece anymore, as every pilot will just float around and look at the textures and details :P
Nice hangar 👌👌👍👍
Nemesis-style. I was never a fan of modelled hangarbays finding them as clusters of polygons that contributes almost nothing to overall look, so I decided to implement just entrance. Large door leads to elevator to second floor, while smaller, front-facing one is entrance to actual hangar space.Nice hangar 👌👌👍👍
That's nice too, haven't even noticed that :nervous:
Also the windows "to scale" would be stupidly small and lacking in the department of Rule Of Cool. Also who puts windows on a warship anyway, especially in large sightseeing deck configuration?Volition. Tons of them :]. Unfortunately I have to consider every example of :v:'s supidity, laziness etc.

O mighty Hecate, the Goddess of Darkness! By the laws of ship forging, texture shaping and beer drinking...
I forge you a new body... And summon you to this world :]
Too bad about how the engine plumes are partially visible through the hull though... but at least that's an engine problem, not a model problem.
