Description

I got some great constructive feedback on my last upload from several corners of the web and decided to adress the main issues that came up.

The first was that one moon on the gas giant is positioned so that the engine exhaust is pointed straight at, making it look to some as if it was jettisoned from the ship. So I moved that one a bit to the lower right.

The second point was related to the attached dropships (for you non-Battletech people: the spheres on the dorsal and ventral hull). For one they were attached on their own vertical axis, meaning not aligned to their carrier WarShip's main thrust vector. Meaning, what ordinarily would be their floor was now a side wall as soon as that WarShip ignited its own main drive. Ooops! Also, the dropships were far too small for their design! Both points have been adressed in the revision.

Thirdly, some smaller touchups were necessary, like the small fins at the "wings" of the WarShip to better correlate with the deployment of its jumpsail tethers, and a few pen strokes here and there. Lastly, I changed the curves value to create a bit of a color effect.
