Thank you, Narf. Keeping with the motif of the fighter pics, here's the battleship. The three smallest ships are destroyers, the two bigger ones are light cruisers and the second biggest is a cruiser. Interesting note, the word 'Battleship' is pronounced exactly the same as a Praetorian expression meaning 'The second-worst day of your life.' Three guesses as to how they say 'the worst day of your life.' http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/evil.gif

I know! I know! Dreadnought! Because any days that starts out with one of them showing up on your doorstep can't help but be a bad one. Imagine:
Little alien looks out his viewport.
"What the hell is that!"
"It's a Dreadnought, sir."
"Oh dear. This is gonna be a bad day for me."
"Me too, sir."

Actually, the term for the worst day of your life in Praetorian is "Batael'shun'ta". Although due to a rather unlikely coincidence, Dreadnought, (pronounced "Dreed'nacht"' in Praetorian), translates into "The final moment of your existance. Aren't xenolinguistics fun? And speaking of Dreadnoughts, here's the Terran one!

Fine ships, but they seem a bit glossy, don't you think?

Nothing wrong with gloss, mind you, but IMHO metal should be rough.

Well, compared to the big guys, that Escort IS pretty primitive. I've updated the pic, BTW, to the finished Version. And I'm afraid the reflectivity is here to stay, since these ships are based on the GoF Terran ships, which were well documented as being quite shiney.

See? They're supposed to be shiney. Now that I've got the warships done, I'm afraid I'll have to put the project on hold for a little while to concentrate on getting more work done for SE5, but I'll be picking it up again with the carriers in a few weeks...
