Start on the CA/BC/CC/Whatever-they-call-it.


Needs some fleshing out, but its a start.

Stupid question: what module can I find the Kzinti DW and DHW in?

If no one has an answer for you before morning, when I get  home from work I will dig out the rules and find it for you.

I found it, its in R2, but thanks anyways...

This is the reason why I asked..



I'm not sure where it belongs yet - it's either the DWH, or the CM (the kzinti CW). If it does end up being the CM, it needs to be scaled up some.

You'll also notice that one the DD I narrowed the hammerhead a smidge.

The DN looks too skinny IMHO. The DN has four sections: Section 1. Command pod, Section 2. missile pods 1-2, Section 3. missile pods 3-4, Section 4. Engineering/warp

If I may make a suggestion, I would make Section 3. identical to Section 2. but angle the missile pods up and down respectively so that as you look at the DN head on you get an 'X' like profile.

Also the fleet as is, looks like  skeletal animals where the missile pod arms look like ribs exposed on a carcass. This may be an intentional pyschological warfare type design akin to what the Vikings did to their dragon headed prows of many of their long ships... The skins for these ships will be very interesting. I hope you try to use the Taldren Tiger striped Mirak ship markings.

The DD looks out of place in this line up. It looks way too heavily armored when compared to the rest of the fleet. It looks like a Star Wars Episode I Republic Counselor ship crossed with a battering ram... Watch out, if the Mirak missile barrages don't get you we'll just ram you into oblivion...

Nicely done over all. The CV and the BB should be awesome to behold!

The DN does a cool wavy thing with the drone pods at the moment, it actually looks really neat from the side (thanks to atolm). trust me.

I already knew that the DD was (A) going to be different enough to not be so appealing to everyone, and (B) deviate from typical mirak design. On both cases I'm okay with it. the proportions are right - again trust me.

I'm not sure where I am going with the textures. Red with teal/green glows for certain, but the patterning is up in the air. Atolm suggested interlocking triangles, which I like. Not 100% sure though.... I could add some very very subtle tigerstriping to break up some monotony, but I'm not sure yet.

Let's see who can spot the difference...


EDIT: Crap - just spotted a floating piece on the DD - fixed.

difference between what exactly?

Honestly I think this is the only time, besides the supposed enterprise one, that I've ever layed eyes on a mirak ship I actualy liked. The bone ship idea is cool. Whatcha panning for skinns?

Just one thing: all those missile pods clear the command module, right? Wouldn't want to be firing warp-propelled missiles only to have them rip into the rest of the ship...
