I liked the pics, but they don't say "STAR WARS" to me. Not even Star Trek. But then again, the Rebellion was using any and everthing they could get their hands on to have a fleet. That's why there was no uniformity in the look of the ships in SWVI. Only the fighters were uniform, given the different types: ie, X-Wings were fighters, Y-Wings were fighter-bombers, etc. If you included them in a Star Wars set, I wouldn't complain. But then again, I rarely use carriers and fighters.

While the games are not Star Wars canon, from TIE Fighter on up they introduced the Imperial "Escort Carrier" which should give you an idea of how utilirian a design the Empire came up with for a dedicated carrier. It was basically a box, with engines at one end and a big gaping maw of a fighter bay at the other, along with a few weapons scattered about its hull. It is a very uninteresting design.

Your ship is somewhat reminiscent of it, widened and turned on its side and with a fancier hull. Other than the frigate, however, there aren't many "tall" ships in Star Wars canon (or the games for that matter), so perhaps you should turn the ship on its side. Ships in SW tend to be more like speedboats than say, sailing ships.

For inspiration, you could google for Star Wars ship info/stats/pics

Thanks Sivran. Good idea. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I liked the tall ship look, don't ask me why, but I thought it look unique in some way. I can use these designs for something else I guess.
