What the heck. I'll enter two:

The first is short wing of Misato class advanced interceptors and their home, a Roon class patrol vessel on patrol in an asteroid field. For scale, the Roon is about 1200m long, the Misatos are about 22m long (they're very close to the camera)
   

The second is Raindance Station, a naval repair facility, shipyard and rear command base. The facility is huge, with three cap-ship drydocks, and 18 drydocks for smaller vessels. If you look closely to the left of the star in the center, there is a flight of three Roon class patrol boats.

Which one? The Misatos or the Roon?

I do have to say, the Roon is probably my favorite of my large spaceship designs (except the Nate class carrier, but I deleted it's mesh by accident!  )

One of each please  

I do love the Roon thou! From that angle at least she's got a kinna "StarBlazer's" Look,...which was the old school Sci Fi that got me hooked on Anime

I'll take a Starblazers ref as praise.  

Seriously tho, if you saw the Roon at any other angle, it would lose that effect quickly. If you'd like, I'll post the URL to the series of renders from its first design (its ugly like... um... Its just bloody ugly) to the final incarnation. You'll lose that Starblazers feel, however.

The Roon comes in at 3086 plys. I can probably bring that down to 2200 polys just by removing hidden faces. I might be able to get it down under 2kpoly if really pressed.

[edit]Looking closely, I'm willing to bet that I could get her down to 1.5k polys. There's some nasty hidden polys in the turret barrels, as well as some places where there's coplanar adjacent polygons. That's just uncalled for. I think I'll rip the Roon apart in Lightwave and rebuild it. Maybe even mod it into IWar2 in place of the destroyer or cruiser.

Easily done. If you'd like to use her, I'd not mind. We'd have to think up a new name though. I'm not happy with 'Roon' so, if you want to user her, you can name her. I'll let you know how it goes.

If it matters, btw, its 4 forward mounted particle beams (these aren't gimbaled. They fire forward only) and 6 turrets (two dorsal, two ventral, and two mounted on either side of the engine section). Those long antennae are sensor booms and are retractable. She carries something like six short wings of fighters (a short wing in my head is 6 fighters, rather than the standard 18. don't ask. I don't know why).

No problem. In addition to my above edit, you could probably remove the sensor booms entirely and put gimbaled beam turrets there.

As for the Shivan thing, um... I dunno. I could give it a shot one of these days, I guess. I'm not certain I could design an appropriately Shivan vessel.
