The perspective on the chickens could be better- the feathers look wierd. And the light mauve background might be nice as a lime green.

SMALLER DOWNLOADS ARE A-1 SUPAR!!!!

Iverach, you know you can get a still-high-quality image(can't even tell the quality difference) with a jpg save quality at 8... the quality starts making a noticable difference at 7 on down... but with 8 you can get a 100k about download at 1024x768... 500k jpgs are just not cool

Actually, the beam ain't bad.  Maybe add a few fighters duking it out, but an otherwise good pic.

Nah..Terran pilots are the best, so all the Shivan fighters would be dead and the remaininig Terran fighters are harassing the Lucifer with their puny Prometheus.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Why Kaysers? If you are aiming for hull damage only, isn't the Maxim the best for the job? I thought it delivers more damage to hull than Kaysers.

Actually, if you do the math from the weapons.tbl, the Kayser does more hull damage per shot, but the Maxim per second.

The Maxim does 20 Damage with 1.3 Armor rating = 26 hull damage per shot. It has a Fire Wait of 0.15 which means it fires 6.67 (rounded to two decimals) shots per second. This means that 26*6.67 = 173.33 (rounded to two decimals) hull damage per second.

The Kayser does 28 Damage with 1.0 Armor = 28 hull damage per shot. But since it has a Fire Wait of 0.25, you only get 4 shots per second. 28*4 = 112 hull damage per second.

Per shot, the Kayser is better,
Per second, the Maxim is.

(and yes, I created and Excel file to do all this math so I could figure out the stats for my new weapons  ).

What's the subsystem factor on each of them?  Cause I know that the Maxim is very devestating on turrets and such.

Yep, that Orion's gonna whup that Lucifer good. That'll larn those Shivans...

BTW, Orion is better when renders leave it with that sort of gunmetal grey tint (ie. as with this one). Gold and blue spaceships BAD!
