hmmm, lemme get that drawing of mine i made a while ago, doubt it will be a winner, but it might "inspire" someone...
since i can't link up the scanner, i have to take a picture of the drawing with my digicam, not the best thing you can do for quality though
I *think* the design looks fairly cool, it's sleek, it has big gun turrets, and the rounder shapes could pass for vasudan
the "shape" that stretches from the front to just before the bridge is actually a thicker piece of the hull, say, armor, designed to protect the energy supply for the big gun turrets and their command centers.
as you can see, it is also "laid" over the hull.
below the front piece of that armor are the 2 BIG torp launchers, consisting of multiple smaller ones, a cluster on each side.
the rectangular shape in the middle of the armor "skirt" are it's fighterbays, nicely tucked away in that "cavity", protected by flak cannons and 2 AAAF beams to keep any baddie-bomber away.
the broadside torp launchers are not visible, since they are located just below the armor "skirt".
It has 3 big turrets on the top, 2 below:
1st is located "behind" the front thruster, so you can't see it
2nd is located on the lower part of the engines on about the same place as the upper-engine gun.
the guns facing forward on the engine pods are.... big guns that can cover anything in front of the ship, and an arc that i have not yet determined, they are not "fixed".
the upper guns are the hard-hitters, the lower guns are more rapid-fire-area-suppression though...
perhaps put beam cannons in place of em?
ps.someone might think that I overdid the engines though... i could agree
pps. it was not designed for this competition, but i thought: "what the hell, perhaps someone can make something out of it."
