[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Nim: [qb] [QUOTE]Now, I've really only put in half the components that make out a Honorverse ship in my design, simply because you guys wouldn't care if there were 2x4 phased gravitic arrays included or not, and because the ones who [i]would[/i] care (Honorverse fans here on Flare) probably are more interested in sacks with doorknobs in them and my home adress. [/qb][/QUOTE]Dont be silly- it's nothing but the best for you, Nim. Socks with D-Cell batteries all the way: you'll last longer that way between beatings. ;) I really so like what you've come up with there but I'd make some tweaks and I have a few questions: First, I'd spread the weapons out a bit- never a good idea to clump everything together if you dont have to- do they not have area of effect weapons like Nukes? you'd think such a weapon would wipe out tightly clustered weapons all at once. Are the hammerhead and fin structures part of the drive system? They desperately need some detail to both give a sense of scale and so they dont look like wings/fins. I kinda hate pointless aerodynamics of spaceships. So...in combat, this thing rolls over like a baker's rolling pin? (your design less so than the dildo versions, thankfully). You mentioned that the dorsal/vental aspect are sorta super shielded by the drive, right? You'd think they'd rev up to speed, change the ship's attitude so the shielded aspect faced their enemy on approach and only [i]then[/i] broadside roll thingie. No need for "crossing the T" manuvers in space, after all. ;) Maybe add some weaponry on long boom arms to cover the shielded aspect- and of those get blown off, it's no big deal (thins assuming the weaponry is smallish compared to the ship's overall size, whhich seems to be the case for there to be so much of it in that narrow hull). Personally, I favor that "Nebulon" version as maybe a nice companion cruiser. [/QB][/QUOTE]
