Of course I also have a thing for carriers, so it just screams at me "put an open fly through bay from the back that opens up half-way between the bridge and the two front side slant panels. Throw some turrents (or turrets) all over it and then add two wavemotion guns on the front face and bam you got a Star Blazers Andromeda clone... (I wish)...
Seriously, this is one cool ship as a WIP, can't wait to see the finished product. Keep it up!
BTW I managed to get Yamato and Arcadia into a stable .3ds mesh with textures apllied. If anyone can break them down into subobjects (both just over 3000 pollies right now) and get the turrents aligned (yamato has like 19 plus wave motion gun) and arcadia has like 3) please let me know... thanks!
