Whoa, this thread fell to the third page. Can't let that happen now, can we?

Like it. Even though im wondering about one thing:

While the ship looks like a capital one, the guns are so big it degrades the ship to a corvette or something, because of the comparion. I would add about a douzen of those turrets, but make them smaller, actually a LOT smaller.
Unless of course, that ship is no Dreadnought but barely a corvette or cutter or whatever.

I don't really like the blue light ring. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif Other than that, nice turrets, perhaps make them a bit smaller as not to make the ship look so small.

Assuming those are typical human-sized windows on the supertructure, it looks like those aren't particularly big ships, which would sort of go along with the turret size (which would still seem a bit big). It'd be neat to be able to tell the relative sizes of the ships in the fleet by keeping the turret sizes relatively constant... so ships with this turret-to-hull size ratio would be the smaller ones, and the huge ones would have more turrets but they'd be smaller compared to the hull. Just a(n obvious) thought.

I have to agree with <font color="red">AT</font> on this point. Not to be critical, but the blue light ring seems to take away from the appearence of the ship, not add to it.

Other than that, not bad at all. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/cool.gif

The top one seems to have shiney skin on the bridge.

Narf: That's just the light.

AT: Maybe I should get rid of the glow rings.

PvK: I use the bridge for size reference; for example, the escort would share the same bridge size-wise as the battleship, more or less.

Rag-X: No. Honestly, that would just look terrible. On any ship, whether it be Destroyers or Dreadnoughts.

Er, yes. But the light wouldn't reflect off a non-shiney surface.
