Well, in that case...



As I said, very Terran.
NOTE: It will look only vaguely like this when done.  I'm currently in the process of texturing lith maps for it....

That said - who cares? Nobody has copyright on ship names... unless it's already part of FS2 (it'd be kinda weird of the GTVA to have two Hecate class destroyers... both entirely different). I imagine the only problem with naming is keeping tabs on who did what.

So?
Terran ships = mostly blocky.

I'm sick and tired of sleek, alien-like ships.

Actually in FS the trend is obviously away from blocky designs.  The Orion was blocky, but detailed.  The Hecate, the Deimos, and the Aeolus are not at all blocky, although they have edges and a more industrial feel than the Vasudan equivalents.  "Sleek" and "alien" are not synonimous, nor are they in any way linked.

And Raptor, it looks like a reproportioned Hades with no detail and super-repeating textures.  The design isn't bad, but break up those surfaces somehow.

anti capship torpedos could be good, if they were fitted with subspace drives!

Then you could just jump the torpedo in to the bad guys ship.

Kinda cheep if you ask me.

Those er.. "rib things" (the small pipe-like bits) are a little experimental. I'm not sure they justify the polys. As they appear in the pics, they haven't been booleaned onto the mesh - pushing the polycount up to ~9500 polys. Booelaned it'll be less. Not sure how much, though.

I like your design Ryx, except I'd replace the submarine style bridge, with a setup like the Fenris' radar dish. (It is FSUP, so most capships might have their own AWACs systems?)

Torpedos are so heavy firepower that they would have the armor of an asssaault bomber - if not even their own shields.

I would not think the GTVA could afford making heavily armored torpedos with shielding just to see their investments go just like that. Even the Helios is rarely seen and is only deployed in situations where it is most needed becuase of its high cost to produce. Plus if this is after the Capellan Wars then it turns from rare to impossible. More money will be spent on repairing damages and getting the economy back in order than worrying about massive armnents [spelled correctly?).

Thats my opinion.
