Looks pretty cool. A nice sleek design that allows all the guns a good field of fire

I got real Homeworld 2 vibes, looks a lot like a higaran destroyer

Centurion: "Sir, I really think you should look at the other Battlestar."
Baltar: "What are you babbling about other...it's impossible!"
Centurion: "No. It is a Battlestar."

Now it looks reminiscent of a Bothan Assault Cruiser

At any rate, it's a great looking design and a very nice model

I'm not too big a fan of the scow bow or the forwardmost gun turret, but otherwise she's awesomesauce. I suspect both can be fixed by extending the lines forward to (maybe almost) a point or edge and maybe moving that turret about half its own length into a deeper notch. It also seems the ship has a more-turrets less-spinal-gun bias, unless you plan on making that wavegun a double-barrel one. I LOVE those superposed main engines though! Maybe you can make the wavegun an O/U to match?

Very nice looking, but I'm with Einy on the forward turret and bow. The turret overhanging like that just looks very odd, and the bow from the front looks very bluff and plain. Much improved renders though, you switched to Kerkythea or something?

wow, you've learned a lot about it if you can do that with sketch.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Grahf, I'd like to know where you got the textures for it, the plating textures wrap so nicely, and they don't look like they're a single repeating image unless you look for it.

Also, are you using the purchase or free version of Podium?

the colored versions seem to have a very spaceship yamato feel to them, just without the dorsal bridge.
If a black-hawk flies over a light show and is not harmed, does that make it immune to lasers?

Nice improvements there. A bit more detail, nice proportions, weapons not ridiculously big, detailed engines, etc. It's looking really nice now, well done.

Been messing around with Kerkythea and did a couple of scene renders:

And this image shows a couple of details like the main guns, CIWS system, and escape pods:

Man, even without texture, that first shot is amazing. If you ever texture and add lighting, it'd be a sight to behold indeed.

That ship is absolutely a great design!

Obligatory backseat driver art critique: It feels just a bit underdetailed in the last shot, though, in the sense that it feels like there should be detail lines on various parts to build contrast/make it seem like this ship isn't a(n incredibly well done) stone statue. That, or slightly different hues on individual parts if you want the entire ship to be monocolor.

Looking very good, some texturing and a nice render and these could stand with anyone's models.
