That ship is awesome!
I especially like the (what I presume to be) giant anti-shipping
weapons mounted right above the launch bay.
Are those pieces mounted on the side of the ship hatches for
fighters, missiles, or are they something entirely different?
You seem to have conserved a lot of pieces by using that SNOT
technique, now that's engineering I can, and will steal, err, use. ;)
It's also a great way of breaking up the blocky feel of a ship.
One complaint though, you've made me dislike all of the 90° angles on
my large ships, especially since you appear to have about the same
amount of pieces that I do. That was QUITE inconsiderate of you dude. =-)
You've done a great job once again Kenneth. Keep on building!
