It's a new class of destroyer I've been working on.  It's not fully textured yet, texturing is probably the hardest part    How is it?

Looking good, QX! Can we have some more views from different angles?  

And yeah, texturing is definitely the toughest part.

Those guns on the top look pretty dangerous...

Holy crap!

Yes..I have 3 or 4 models done..I haven't textured them cause I don't know how  

I'd put some more of that blue Orion-ish texture towards the rear of the ship...

Not to knock the design any, but Big ****ing Cannons™ just don't seem to be very FSey, mainly because you can only get one barrel to fire at a time.

[QXMX]

Got a few more angles for your viewing pleasure  

The main guns are used mostly for planetary bombardment, and are plasma based.  They aren't quite as powerful as Beams, but they fire more rapidly.

I thought about that quite a lot actually.  I wanted to do something different.  Plus, this would look cooler with what they'll be firing  

I appreciate your comments though    Maybe they are a bit too big

Wow, nice ship - I want to see guns firing on that baby  

[Nico]

Well, I personnaly like a lot big turrets (wait for my next cruiser   ), but those ones are REALLY big... Are they that big, or the shiop is smaller than I think?

Otherwise, I would add a map on the bridge to make windows.

[QXMX]

Yea, the bottom one is big cause it's for planetary bombardment, maybe it's a little too big though

I like it  

Big guns kick ***   - and they look cool if you have the right type of weapons on them.  Only problem is that you'll be needing to make debris for them if they're that large...

[KillMeNow]

argh i cant see thme - arghhhhhhhhhhh

[Alikchi]

I like big cannons, as long as you won't just have a beam warmup at the end of the turret, totally visible   ugly

On the topic of debris, it sure would be cool to see one of those turrets flying off into space..

[Kazan]

very wing commanderish

[QXMX]

I don't remember too much from wing commander, just that their nebula effects weren't nearly as cool as FS's

Looks like a battleship to me.

GTBB Hera.  I like the sound of that.

------------------
I know there is a method, but all I see is madness.

[Setekh]

GTBB?

Where's the extra B from? Or have you come under the Derelict Spell Of Adding Double Letters To Ship Designations Where They Don't Belong?  

(However, it does sound cool.)

I believe that its what the American navy uses to designate battleships.  BB 64.

[Shrike]

However, the extra B is only used when there's no supplementary letter.  So a guided missile battleship (As an example) wouldn't be a BBG, it would be simply a BG.

Anyhow, in the FS style, it would be a GTBS anyhow.
