Description
I've been working on this ship on and off since... about a week or so after I first began work on the Battlecruiser.Mostly off.
It's basically... an improvement? embellishment? on my old Cruiser model from the early days of the UEF Universe. While the model had been refined over time, I've always found it to be somewhat... lacking, in ways. So here we have the Frigate. (I can't make it a Cruiser due to the creation of the Battlecruiser)
Thoughts? Suggestions?
There's always room for improvement!
Bryce 5.5
Enjoy.

ya i didnt mean it like that i just meant we should talk more i like your style i do and your interests in space vehicles is shared by me also and we have very different views on certain design elements concerning the subject matter and it would be good conversation so ya lets keep in touch

im not trying to sound like an ass but i dont really like it the guns details are dwarfed by all the uniform shapes of the chassis i mean the things are huge outfitted with man lots of vents for chambers and such right? and the rounded parts that seemingly serve no purpose dont look good and compare the main body size to the guns it supports why make a huge ship with a huge crew capacity and only arm it with minimal stopping power why not base the design around a major role such as ion cannon frigates a military vehicle is only as good as it can kill make the guns its obvious purpose
i dont mean to be mean in fact i would like to maintain our friendship im going to start a ship model right now i haven't done one since high school and it will be fun

You may have a point. I shall think on this.
Maintain our friendship? I've never even met you before.

Wow you are taking modeling with primitives and booleans to the extreme, this actually looks pretty good. But, you should seriously try modeling with polygons and maybe some NURBS, they give MUCH more freedom and can be textured as if you are painting on them with a pencil. A good and cheap modeler would be Modo, try googling for it if you're interested.

No. The only ship capable of transporting fighters is the Carrier.

i dunno, maybe it's smaller than i think it is, but it seems a little too big and/or blocky to be a gunship
gunships are larger than fighters, but even then it's not by a huge amount
i guess it would help if i had scale reference

It's a capital ship.
I may well change the name, that is also a work in progress.
