This ships looks very nice. But I think an Orion successor should not be symetrical.

He is on topic... all my big ships (bar the odd  station) are symettrical - mainly to provide equal fire coverage...and I actually hate the original Orion, anyway.

Original concept piccy, showing the guns;

             

I had to dump the frontal design because it exceeded the poly limits...

My hecate looks nicer than yours

Orion would kick any hecate's butt any day  , however for this ogre, might need a few BFgreens

FEP Cannons... hard to describe, but like a barrage beam weapons... lots of relatively weak shots in a short time.

Do you know what you're talking about?  

Hey Aldo, I was just going to suggest that - those beams look really cool, with lot sgiong on and off at the same time. Have like a row of beam cannons, or an array of spike type things (like a small scale of the Sathanas beam arms) - if we could get them to spin, that would be cool, like the Belial. What a cool effect... Don't know if it would work with beams, though.

The big-***  ships I'm building will have something like this - fixed fire beam cannons mounted on rotating sub-objects...I'm hoping they'll fire ok when I test.

Final decision - I'm keeping the big guns
