Hmm. I know I have to do something to the back to offset the size of the front, but Solarian ships are big, chunky bruisers built to survive serious punishment, so I don't think something as fragile as a solar sail would really fit with the concept. I think I'll come back to it when I'm putting the finshing touches on the set. In the mean time, what do we think of this Light cruiser (attached)? I still have a few finishing touches, such as adding 'windows' along part of the gun deck, but otherwise it's more or less done. Unless anyone can think of anything else?

Good. But these guns remind me a ... b&w lollipops

Of course, it's just my pervent perseption, but... probably different texture? Turning them into the Big Freakin Guns (mean making them larger)?

Exactly which ones remind you of lollipops? All of them or one in particular? And it's only a light cruiser, the BFGs will show up starting with the Battle Cruisers...

Those on LC and escort. It's a alternate black and white rings on guns that make them look like lollipops (or ice cream). Then again it's just my impession, nothing else.

PS: I like lollipops (and ice cream), that's the reason I think

Dear God, you're right! The Solarians aren't feared protectors of the Galaxy, they're bleedin' ice cream salesmen! What have I done?! Seriously, don't worry about offending me or anything like that by telling me things don't look right with the ships. That's why I post things up here.
Anyway did a fixer-uper so have a look. This time it's a Destroyer since I accidentally overwrote the LC and now I gotta start all over! I'm going to be changing the guns so they look a little better by tapering the ends and hollowing them out but that can wait til another day.

Hate to tell you this, and it might be just candy talking, but the guns now look like a line of nerds painted white and glued together.

* Nerds are also a type of candy. Don't ask me why.

Salvo of homing explosive candies is deadly, you know

OK, seriously guys, you need to cut down on the sugar. I think it's affecting your minds. Nerds!? Seriously man, I'm worried about you.

What?? They really are also a type of candy. Little lumpy green and red colored things.

Nerds are mostly sugar. If you look at nerds closely, you'll see that the beads of candy consist of grains of sugar stuck together with some color and artificial flavor. You can actually see the bits of sugar. Bad for your teeth (I know from experience!)
