TBH, now that I look at it, it could make a neat warship with the right loadout. This ship looks like it could be tabled for a lot of different roles.

Looking at the 3D model, the "head" has a more Hecate-y feel than I remembered.

EDIT: The four cannons in front still makes no sense to me, and no rule of cool is going to cut it. Is it a logistics ship or a warship? Because the immobile cannons in front make little sense for something that's carrying precious supplies. When it faces a threat, is it suppose to blast its attacker to death head-on?
It's not purely a logistics ship. More of a general support ship that provides fire support for other warships and logistics support as well.
I recognized that, but even so. The four turrets would make more sense if they could aim instead of being immobile. Being as long as it is (and rule of cool dictates that longer ships turn slower), it seems really weird for it to have to turn in order to get its guns to have a line of sight. If it were in a transit and ships jumped in and attacked it from the rear and below, it would take an unbelievably long time to get its guns to bear. That's my opinion of it, anyway. It looks really cool otherwise.

EDIT: I suppose what I'm saying is that because of the way the ship appears, it doesn't look like it could work as a hybrid warship/logistics vessel.

Whatever. I've had all of this in thought already and the four guns at the front are of low calibur and not the strongest asset. They just help.

Personally I hadn't thought about replenishment/tenders in the fleet.  BUt if we look at our own modern navies they play a huge role in keeping the combatant ships in the combat zone.  I love the idea for the doors it opens, and execution of that idea for nothing more than the "cool ass ship" factor.

EDIT: if I may, this part could use some improvement, as it looks just randomly plugged in.

I was wondering if you'd consider a version/variant with the front guns replaced by a fancy looking antenna cluster that could be passed off as an advanced sensor array.

Plz don't kill me!

hmm... i see it as the UEF's logistics unit :D

The UEF don't need and so don't have logistics vessels. They're operating on the home front, with their main manufacturing bases a jump or two away.

Rule of cool anyways...  ;)

http://p3d.in/68J6W Added turrets and shizz. The forward guns were a bit unfitting and removed, comparison is to the Anomei (scalewise).

Oh noez! ya didn't just say that!

Nice update, yeees.

Only one recommendation, and that would be to add some kind of short base to the two columns, it would make them feel less out of place. (Unless it's supposed to be the arms that keep a pod in place, they make sense then.)

Anyway, awesome is awesome, we should call you Hawedes.
