Yaihi'l-class Destroyer

Yaihi'l-class Destroyer
Inspiration comes from the famed Star Destroyers and a bunch of ships from the Elite video games (which I have not played but intend to once my computer can run the newest one ).

Description:
After a bout of new technological advances, engineers at Alcel realised the battered & gutted Buurenorar-class ship they held at the yards for testing wouldn't be able to hold itself together much longer. The Yaihi'l-class was designed to be stuffed to the brim with fresh tech, and is easily refitted to allow the adoption of new discoveries.
Currently in the way of shiny bits, however, it carries three of the best energy projectors available - the Mark 2 OLEP - alongside 10 of the new Mark 2 Missile Launch Systems. Most of the interior of the ship is stuffed with generators to meet the brutal power requirements of the Mark 2, and any extra energy gleaned from the molecular shielding network is fed to the OLEP systems. The venerable Alke railguns and Mk. 1 Energy Batteries still have their place on the Yaihi'l... for now.

Hmmmm... nice. Not as good as your usual stock, I must say- the design is just a relatively simple SNOT triangle with normal bricks on the top and bottom- but it's still overall pretty good. My main two concerns are the height (it's perhaps a teench too tall IMHO) and the detail (perhaps a bit cluttered?).

So is this ^ basically your inspiration? Whatever the case, looks good! Kinda Star Destroyer-reminiscent.

Even tho it's a bit small compared to actual Star Destroyers, this looks like it has a strong bite either way!

@Tetra: It isn't supposed to be good so much as it is an ungainly chunk of metal thrown together to do weapons testing. I've partially rationalized the bulging underside to myself as part of the reactor systems... I should probably mention that in the OP.

@Arik: Yup. It's a little bigger than the Elite ships, and not as merchant-y, but I think if it had ended up looking more like one of those it would seem less like something I made.
As for Star Destroyer looks, I thought about adding a bridge to it, but I didn't really like the shape it had... and the impractability - it's like saying, "Here, come shoot this!"

@Talmid: And a bite it has. Once I get my other tech updated, I'll refit this so it has completely second generation (at least, for me) weapons, and it'll have an even bigger bite.

When you do your side and front and rear views and extcetera, you should make them front with a slight tilt to the side and up or a side picture being with a slight tilt to the front/rear and up, it helps to make out detail alot better.

Thanks, Ant. I'll keep that in mind for my future ships.
