Because they said it was underarmed ...
A lot of people have been saying that my warships designs were underarmed. (Well, if by "a lot" you mean two, and if by "underarmed" "it doesn't have ventral turrets!".)

 With that in mind, I give you this:

I was hoping for a better image, but my renderer broke :doubt:  So you'll have to settle for this crappy screencap from gmax at the moment. I'm trying to decide whether to up the poly count or leave it with its ironcladdish look.

The other downside is that it doesn't have any rear turrets. This is obviously a rather large downside, but the fact is I don't have any place to put them.  I've given it largish engines to compensate for that, so that (hopefully) the rear will never be unduly exposed. (Well, technically it's the large engines that CAUSED the problem in the first place, but we can't afford to be anal on this, can we?
:p )

Uh....you may have too many multi-part turrets on there.....just a word of warning.

Looks rather Wing Commanderish, and not too shabby at all - as far as the rear quarter being unprotected you could always salt it a little with some single part anti-fighter turrets - wouln't look to out of place.
All I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by.
And a laughing yarn from a merry fellow rover.
And a quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over.

course it would be! it would help 'persuade' the other parties to meet your demands. just park it right outside their docking bay and act all innocent and they won't be tryin' to get away...

Oooh......too tempting!

But apart from being pink and stuff, what would it look like?

If you want a p1mp mobile, talk to an0n. I'm sure he'd jump at the chance.

IF I remember rightly, SCP versions have a limit of 15.  Not completely sure.:doubt:
