Just to point out, the Hurricane is 6km in length only. Its actually a very slim ship. To compare with the Hecate:


I suspect the Big H5 is a mostly weapons platform. Just thinking of how much space in the ship is completely devoted to gigantic spinal reactors to power its huge weapons leaves me to imagine that the thing has a disproportionately low crew capacity. Especially considering it lacks a dedicated carrier capacity. Maybe... 15,000 crew.

On another note, looking at the nose cannon and the Hecate.... hehe I'm pretty sure no FS Destroyer would want to be in the H5's sight line. Though I'm pretty sure that the Colossus could probably give it a run for its money in terms of broadside beam cannons. On the other hand... I'm pretty sure the Colossus wouldn't appreciate 13 750m long turrets firing 700m long plasma bolts at 6km/s every 1-2 seconds that much...

Vengence, you have a thing for overkill, and I can respect that.

And that model looks REALLY damn good. I don't know what it's being made for, but I can't wait to play it.

Necro post a bit, but I'm rather interested to see how much progress has been made since May 6th. Is it finished? ^^ I wanna have it.

I'm a bit busy with other projects which are at the moment more important. Depending on how things go I might be free to work on it more.

As for details on the model... the tower is becoming frustrating as I can't think of how to make it.

[Commander Zane]

Bridge towers are always a fun part of the ship.

The problem is to make it look slightly retro as opposed to the successor VI model. The VI model is very angular and streamlined backwards. Also thinking of the interior of both ships and structure... the V model likely has a gigantic spinal generator to power all that Dakka. Plus the engines and stuff.... this leads me to believe that there is very very little space for crew. Cramped even. So the tower section has to look big enough to be able to accommodate most of the crew as most other places are too cramped for creature comforts. Granted the VI model (having less dakka) has a ton more room to spare. So... the tower section has to be big and retro... I need to find good photos of Iowa class battleships...

If you're looking for Retro to that style you could try looking at Space Battleship Yamato's orthos (Other ships as well not just the Yamato) on shipschematics.net, the images are a little small and fine details are hard to make out though.

Heh well its all relative. The Hurricane V is still very advanced... for something 250 years old  .
