Description I have managed a small amount of progress on the Alaska today. I've been at low ebb creatively of late, and so I have not accomplished as much on this as I would have liked.

Modeled with SketchUp. Rendered with Kerkythea.

This is starting to look really good. It's amazing how details can make almost any 3D model much more realistic and somehow "alive".

It still needs a lot of work.

Great detail so far. I might make you a default planet/space background because that eve planet bg is cheating!

An old mentor of mine once said to me - "Win if you can, lose if you must, but always cheat!"

It needs Teleporters, photon torpedo tubes and Galaxy Wave guns. It should transform into a giant mecha for fighting in cities and defending castles! And aa place for the Sol Jewel to shine so we can see what powers the ship!

What if the craft had a few large mirrors with many smaller lasers? It could focus the lasers to do long range damage and then have the smaller lasers do point defense when the enemy came really close.

Well, the larger arrays can pull double duty as point defense, and have much greater ranges than the smaller ones that are dedicated point defense lasers.

Yeah but you can cut down on mass by having more smaller lasers in comparison to large mirrors. The mirrors would be used for focused long range attacks while the smaller ones could be close attacks and point defense. Also why not disperse your lasers so when one takes damage you won't be crippled. Mirror can be replaced. The entire laser not so much. Plus laser banks allow for multi-directional responses without expending reaction mass.
