Can I just make a suggestion? How about, rather than a ship that excells on both offensive and defensive, why not make it balanced, and give it a weakness in one type of combat and a strength in another?

Raa, I haven't come up with the loadout yet, but I think the primary role of the cruiser will be determined then.  I just like to build well-rounded, versatile models to keep my options open.  When I say I want an all around cruiser, I mean design wise, not weapon wise.  

All though, a doomsday ship might come in handy...

Hey Boomer, have you ever seen THIS ship before?

Yes I have, and I still have not the slightest clue what purpose the designer had in mind.

P.S.  Aldo, if you read this, you've got to clean up your models man, those duplicate vertices are a #$%^& to work with.

That's because you're working with a 3ds file imported into TS by the looks of it; 3ds files don't, IIRC, allow multiple UV-co-ordinates for a vertice, so they split the model into submodel elements for each UV plane.

No Everyone always make them, and they rarely, if ever, actually make gameplay fun.

Sometimes it just appears split verts just for the hell of it, or so I've found

that happens even if you convert it with 3dexp?

Yeah. Pretty rare tho, and re-running through the conversion again usually sorts it out.

Regarding the model, I'd drop the Fenris link. Looks pretty good taken in isolation.
