Okay, I have to say I really enjoy this ship. Razz

It looks rugged, used, and tough. The blast shields on each side of the bridge-like portion of the ship are really interesting, and the gun barrels poking through it give it a very 16th century navy vessel feel. The bottom seems a bit flat, but other than that, this is a really good piece! Very Happy

Thanks! Yeah, ever since I saw the painting of Admiral Hirken defending the Western Dependencies during the Sixth (?) Alsakan Conflict in the SW Essential Guide to Warfare, I've loved the idea of the giant external armor plates. And I like how part of the ship looks 16th century navy, but other parts of it look more like WWII battleships. Yeah, this is probably one of my favorite of my ships. Razz

Lots of ballistics. Not a bad idea, though some of the regular stuff wouldn't be bad to have. As mentioned, I like how it has that whole real-world look.

I commented on this in the LUCL, if you wouldn't mind checking that out...

Yeah, I like mass-drivers. Razz They look great, and they're really effective. I've always thought that turbolasers were a little cheesy, especially since we have to use the 1977 special effects. Razz

I think that the anti-starfighter versions would work. After all, there are examples in SW canon of starfighters getting hit by turbolasers, and relatively heavy ones, too. If those can hit--and they really don't go all that fast--than I'm pretty sure a MAC round can.

Whoa. Those big-barreled guns look like they could put some really serious dents in an enemy ship.

Looks nice, MAD! I'm not sure about the horn pieces, as they make it look a little... odd, maybe a little like some primitive alien race that somehow has mastered to space travel to an extremely basic degree and uses the bones of gargantuan animals to decorate their ships, or... uh, yeah. :PBeyond that, I think I really like it.

By the way, as I said to ARC, feel free to hop in the chatbox. It'd be nice to get this place's users a bit more active and involved in the PCG forum.

Arik: Thanks! Umm... Well, let's see. Maybe they're shield projectors or sensor masts. Or maybe I just like giant horns on my ships. Razz

Well, those are energy entities, moving at very fast speeds. MAC rounds would be easier to dodge, and while tearing through a fighter will do catastophic damage, it won't have the same energy transfer to blow up the fighter. I'm not saying it's a bad idea, just...somewhat impractical, I guess.
