How do you like it?

[Ghost]

I like it, although it'd be nice if you had chose a name that didn't make everybody go "STAR TREK" everytime they heard it.

I'm finishing the texturing now, and then all that's left is to add a few turrets and conver it..

Of course, I'm never quite satisfied with the texturing..I allways think It could be done better...

Looks nice, but I wait for someone to make galaxy carrier. It would be awesome.

I don`t think so, it`s only 25m long.
Seriously though, it`s a nice, blocky terran ship. Quite simple design, but I like it

I've said it before - looks very HW2ish. Trashman, I seriously think you should go into MODding for HW2.

[edit] ...Why can you see a Trillian window labled "HLP"? o_O

I like the basic design. Looking at it makes me itch to improve it though.

As for "New Galaxy", I didn't read that as a ship class (a la Star Trek) but as "a carrier design for a new galaxy" i.e. a new universe.

The only Trekkie I personally know is the hottest bisexual chick I've ever met. Given that I know her partner, I'm pretty sure she's definately NOT a virgin. Bonus Points: She's a SCAdian too.

Now for the serious criticisms:[list=1]

• The engine array is bland. Instead of a rectilinear grid, why not use two or three different sizes of engine?
• What's the T-shaped tower coming out of the side?
• A runway? In space? What's that giant maw at the mouth of the ship for then?
• only four turrets? And worse, two of them fire across that runway on the dorsal surface.
• Not enough vertical detail on the top, and likely not on the bottom either.
• Right now the vertical profile is a rectangle. A some width changes would make this look a lot better.

Btw, doesn't that ship looks like it's out of the 5th Element or something?

//// Hmm...I kinda like it this way..it does have different engines to the sides

• What's the T-shaped tower coming out of the side?

//// A wing-like thing..the ship has 3 bridges/control towers - the central one, on the front above the main hangarbay and on that side wing thing

• A runway? In space? What's that giant maw at the mouth of the ship for then?

/// Ever heard a ship can have more than ONE fighterbay (vasudans are so smarter then terrans in this regard)

• only four turrets? And worse, two of them fire across that runway on the dorsal surface.

////I have jsut begun turreting it.. it will have  ~60 turrets once I 'm done

• Not enough vertical detail on the top, and likely not on the bottom either.

/// I like some of my ship a bit flatter

• Right now the vertical profile is a rectangle. A some width changes would make this look a lot better.

Well, in my opinion...

1. I think it looks cool...
2. For example, a docking structure, solar/sensor array, lefover parts. Dont care, it too looks pretty good, even if it is useless.
3. Marks an area where launching ships accelerate, and where you should not go in order to avoid collisions. Besides, Orion has it so it's cool.
4. Take another look. And the two you mentioned would be needed to protect the launch bay and incoming/outgoing ships.
5-6. Well it doesn't have to have sticks and structures littered trought the surface. Star Destroyer looks fine even if it is just a flying cone.

Looks great I say

Edit: Damn. you beat me to it...

[StratComm]

At least the Star Destroyer had a little variety, like the huge F***ing tower that stood up on top.  And the general greebling bits along the sides.  And the hanger underneath that had some real depth.  Etc, etc, etc.  Detail.

Here I see a cigar that someone stepped on and painted grey.  And again, we're back to the same old Trashman-StratComm debate on style.  I agree with Mikhael on about every point (in particular #1 and #6), but that's just my opinion.  I will say that the most fun I have with designing ships is coming up with a good engine arrangement that incorporates anywhere from 3 to 6 different sized engines.  (And a ship should use exactly one engine texture, as that's not a system that you'd see mixed and matched) But even just pulling those engines on the ends of the top row down a bit would break up the grid and make things worlds better there.
