Looks fantastic!!!

The ONLY thing I would change on it is not having the Ravana so far forward that the tubes on the right side start to protrude through the portal, but that's me.

People voted that they wanted it to stay Ravana, so I kept it Ravana AND matched it pretty closely to how far it comes out of the portal. Mine is just a higher res, so it's easier to tell.

It's not just the higher res, it's the angle. On the retail ANI the tubes aren't visible because either the nose of the Ravana doesn't come forward far enough or the angle keeps the tubes from being distinguishable from the rest of the superstructure. I think this was one of the main reasons that while people here knew it was a shivan ship, people thought it was a Rak.

With the more front on angle it's at you can make out the tubes, which makes it more obvious it's a Ravana when you see it in the main campaign a few missions later. I wasn't suggesting changing it from a Ravana, just the angle or positioning of the ship.

I'm sorry, but you need to go watch the retail ANI again. I STUDY these. I watch them over and over and over. I don't want to be braggy here, but many people have complimented my attention to detail in all the FS1 and FS2 ANIs I have made thus far. I can't go check the retail ANI for a couple more days, however, I am absolutely confident that you can see the tubes in the retail ANI. Otherwise, I would not have allowed them to be visible in my version.

Yup, you can see the tubes on retail if you look closely.

My bad. Must be the low resolution
