New Dreadnaught (destroyer?)

interesting design.  Reminiscent of the Raynor, except it has nicer guns.

Well, soon you may be seeing a new Raynor.  :)

It don't really look like the Raynor to me tho.

It's a fact.  Stupid people have stupid children.  If you are stupid, don't have sex.  If you insist on having sex.  Have sex with animals.  If you have sex with an animal.  Make sure the animal is smarter than you are.  Just encase of some biological fluke you and the animal have offspring, they won't be as stupid as you are.   One more thing.  Don't assume the animal is protected.  If the animal has a condom, or if female some interuterian device, insist they wear it.  Help stop this mindless mindlessness.  Keep your stupidty to yourself.  This message was brought to you by the Committee of Concerned Citizens that are Smarter than You are.

I kinda see a resemblance, but not much.

Yeah, this happened to me too. Is there any way we can actually see this new mod?

Looks kind of B5ish.

Does it have a name yet?
If not I suggest GTDn Rubicon
Individual ship name could include:
GTDn Praetor
GTDn Caesar
GTDn Senator
etc.
Do you see a pattern?
So as through a glass, and darkly

Many names, but always me.

Interesting design. And those ball turrets are unusual. :)

Very, Very nice work. :yes: I see it as a destroyer rather than a dreadnaught. Does it have any hangers on it?

Nope, no hangers yet.  I thought about that last night after I went to bed.

And the Polycount is up near 3000 because of the turrets... I tend to like the "extrude" function a little too much. :D It'll probably end up being over with additional turrets.  :nervous:

I said reminiscent.  It just reminded me of it.  That's all.  I do like it.

It only just now occurred to me to DL the gif file. :doh:

This dreadnaught looks pretty good, but it seems a bit too blocky for a modern Terran cap ship, though... If it was a FS1-era dreadnaught, then it would look really cool for it's time, but somehow, it just doesn't strike me as a state-of-the-art post-FS2 Terran supercap for some reason.

Same happens to me, as I have a freewebz site, so when I try and post an img I get the same effect. Is there no web host that is useful?

Well maybe considering that a hecate tends to get the crap kicked out of it when it goes broadside to broadside against an orion maybe terran command has had enough of fancy ships and wants blocky ones that kick arse again :D
