1) Textures are staying as they are. Unless someone's got some gold plating and better lights of course.
2) The Serenity class Battleship is NOT BASED ON ANYTHING IN ANY SCI-FI FRANCHISE THAT CURRENTLY EXISTS. Stop trying to draw comparisons with other ships, it's gonna drive me mad, mainly because I spent time making sure it wasn't related. You can't have a ship that doesn't look at least a little similar to something else. It's not possible.
3) The 'Rudder' isn't. I haven't yet fully decided what it is, but she looked 'empty' down there.
4) She's got no turrets as yet. I'm still in the process of making them. She's 6km long, so it's quite a job, considering the amount of firepower she's supposed to put out.
Just so you get an idea, all being well the Serenity class Battleship would slaughter the
Colossus in a broadside. Simple as that. Also, bombers wouldn't stand a chance for two reasons:
- The anti-fighter weaponry on board the ship itself is formidable. By the later stages of the war, anti-fighter lasers (weaker AAAf beams but with faster recharge times) are commonplace. This was to counter the massive amounts of Swarm craft.
- The Karran fighters would eat their GTVA equivalents for breakfast. In this TC the 'play' button has been pressed and the ships are a hell of a lot faster than their FS equivalents. The Gencore Phoenix does about 250m/s. And if you think that's fast, try playing Starlancer. They do 300+ m/s on average.
When I'm ready, I'll post a pic of the Senshi class Heavy Cruiser. If you don't like that, well........
