Description
For the last 5 decades, the Northern Alliance had been struggling to keep up in terms of both techological advances and productions with their southern rival the League of the Blue Emblem. But what it lack in military units, they made it up with their countless bases all over the world, all well hidden and well stock with supplies.As the relationship between the two major powers continue to deteriorate, the Northern Alliance begin to deploy it's ships to the bases in preparation of waging economic warfare.
But most of the Alliance ships were unsuitable for long range deployment, due to their older designs, many will be limited to regions in range of the bases thus limiting their effectiveness in a economic warfare.
Here a Derfflinger-class battle-cruiser of the Northern Alliance arrived at it's new home for the upcoming war, although it will have a hard time trying to maneuver within the base itself.

Been a while since I did a skyship, did this as a practice during my free time

Thought this was related to Skies of Arcadia, the northern kingdom of Valua.

Hahah it's not. But many had mentioned that to me.
Sadly I didn't get to play Skies of Arcadia in the past before...

Ha! That looks like a cross between a battleship, a german u-boat, and... that's it...
No idea how it flies, but it's still cool and I like it... :-P

This reminds me of the game Skies of Arcadia that was on the Dreamcast. I'm a sucker for airships and steampunk. Great job!

Well it was on Nickelodeon so it has aim for a younger audience. It's one of those kids shows that is a little more mature (Like Avatar the Last Airbender), but still fun to watch. Kind of like a bridging show to start kids getting use to the T.V. they'll watch in their later years. It's still a good show. I haven't seen it in a while, but I still recommend it for something new to look up.

I just love futuristic war renderings like this-! Your artistic skills are really something to be marveled at, too!

Amazing work, I love the detail you put into these. Also love the whole flying battleship concept. This one reminds me of the battleship/dreadnoughts and cruisers that came out in the 1920s, back when big guns where king. Except it kind of look like a pocket battleship version, might just be the perspective though.

Very nice, very nice. Looks like a Great War battle cruiser with some intresting additions, moreprominant being the fact that it's flying.

Yup it is based on a great war battle cruiser

Nicely done. Only thing is, how does a flying ship such as that defend itsel from attacks from below?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well it don't 
In the world I created for this story, the clouds are almost like the sea in general, so getting attack from below are pretty hard, without radar submarines type ships will run the risk of running into mountains (which there's plenty of it)

Aha, that makes sense now. I'm still imagining some rather adventerous gunboat captains braving it out and attacking from below, but I guess that just adds a little spice.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yup it will take a lot of guts to pull off a move like that

Suited better for a smaller, more maneuverable gunboat that can get out of the way when it needs to.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well the small ship will need to carry a big enough gun to blow through the hull armor
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
True. Could use some sort of torpedo equivalent though.
