Re: Geez, another new design.....
Looks cool, like the first batch of designs you posted. The BG color is pretty off though, made it hard to really see, at least on my screen.
Just curious, but do the big poles out the front do anything or just for show? I like them, they give a good look, just curious.

They antenna up front are part of the communications and sensors array. I did some more detailing, however, i used a lot more curved surfaces which makes the detailing more time consuming. Couple of pics with my old design.

Re: Geez, another new design.....
Another nice design, what I like best about your designs Grahf is oddly enough the lack of symmetry that modern ships have. We have a hull, we have a system and in Flight II ships we need 12.3 meters for the cooling system and radiators but Flight III systems we get extra 20% power but need 13.7 meters of space so we need to bulge the hull here. Granted most of your ships have the nice down the line symmetry where you can cut the ship in half and both sides have identical dimensions, the hull itself is not some super sleek design. Despite the fact it's 3D rendering I could imagine someone model building this thing by hand in real life by Frankensteing three dozen battleship model kits together like the Imperial Star Destroyer was made.

Re: Geez, another new design.....
I don't worry so much about symmetry. I do try to keep the mass top and bottom even though. It seems to me that keeping your mass evenly distributed would be a design priority.

It feels very sensible and elegantly unforced in layout and detailing.
