Here is a missing base ship:

I am not satisfied with carriers either. I wanted to make them sufficiently different for better recognition and read in some web site that tholians make bigger ships from two or three smaller ships. That was the idea behind carriers.
I think I should remake them still.

Area Affecting weapons:
Could a storm be created that would kill engines and shields?
Could it be miss labled to indicate it is a "safe" storm? Just a buch of "eye candy"?
Could a racial tech be modded such that only one race would have access to such storms.
I realize this would not work in combat but the race in quesiton could build ships to create these storms, and ships to remove them after the flys have been caught in the web.

Well, the existing image looks like a ship with 'horns' or something. If you want to combine several hulls, maybe you could hang a couple of lengthened hulls from a larger hull like 'booms' or 'nacelles' and make a 'battlestar' looking ship. Or just put a flying bridge between a couple of cruiser-size hulls, for that matter.

Looking at the Tholian fighters I had a thought. The 'small fighter' looks like what I think a Tholian carrier should look like! Can you make a ship of the same geometric design as the small fighter but of much more apparent mass? You could make each successively larger carrier by adding more 'segments' to the design, since the breaks between the triangles would be where the 'bays' would be for fighters to launch and land.

Conversely, the carriers look like good fighters. The little extra hulls that give the apperance of 'horns' look like engines on a fighter.

Other than that, the designs look pretty good. I do think you've got the light cruiser and cruiser reversed, though. The light cruise has more in common with the smaller ships, including it's color scheme. The light cruiser looks more like the larger ships. I'd switch them around.
