I love the turret, though from the standpoint of (probable) military design

Heh, I know what you mean about the turret... I just wanted to make it look
cool. A smaller, perhaps rounder, or more steeply angled design would have made
more sense.
That’s not to say I didn’t look at real turrets... I did, but I couldn’t
replicate the complex (to me at least) geometries and detail they
have.

Anyhow,
though it is boxy, it doesn’t *look* like a box. I like how you managed to
combine economy of pieces with good looks, you did a very good job in that.
While internal machinery might have been nice (a reactor, maybe weapons
components), I feel that given the size constraints of the vessel, you made
the right choice in maximizing crew area.
|
I’m glad you think it’s not boxy, ‘cause I do! Haha, j/k, thanks.

Additional point defense turrets
would’ve made it nicer, but as is, it’s nice. The rear-mounted missile
launchers are a nice touch, as is the design of the missiles themselves. That
reminds me: where are the “16 high-maneuverability missiles” mounted? I
couldn’t find them in any of your pictures.
|
You’re right about more point-defense systems, I guess I’m becoming complacent!
The 16 h-m missiles are beside the main comm dish... You see those round black
canisters? Yep, those are it.
| |
like the design of the nose,
it’s not boxy, but at the same time it’s not so complex that one wastes
pieces in trying to get a nice shape.
|
Yeah, I knew I had to do something different about the front, instead of just
slapping on a canopy like I usually do.
| |
On a sidenote, were the different components of the ship (fore hull, rear
hull, engine section) modular or integrated?
|
Modular as in you can take them apart individually? Yep.
The engine itself is held by 4 technic pins... Not sturdy but it works.
| |
Anyhow, in general, it’s pretty nice. I’d love to see a decently sized and
well greebled capital ship (maybe 110-120 studs?) of yours, as you usually
come up with interesting overall designs.
|
As would I, but my collection can’t tolerate it... Or could it? I’ll have to
give this some more thought.
Thanks for the feedback Jordan! I appreciate it.
