Or as I said before, walkways to the larger turrets or a larger superstructure. Make a superstructure that looks like the Bismarck's superstructure. That looks cool. And I suggest you leave the strings between masts, it would look SO cool... imagine, a super-advanced Super Dreadnought with a Bismarckian superstructure! Complete with lifeboat davits and primitive antennae... If anything, that will only improve the fear effect!

Closed walkways might be good.

If possbile, create an animation showing a flyby of these beauties. Perhaps you could also create one where the turrets rotate to one side and start firing volleys.

No, the main guns, make it look like actual large-caliber battleship guns. Make it look like a WWII Battleship is pounding away at an enemy. I don't really like the purple APB animation, especially from these massive gun turrets. From these, I simply want WWII-style firing.

Well as far as that starfield Idea goes, it's a really good idea but with the size and resolution I used to make that pic big for some reason eliminated the starfield I'll try again on that.

Re: The Eagle, well to be honest that is a Nazi eagle, but I erased the swatstika and replaced it with a British Empire style line in attack repose because to tell the truth the Nazi eagle (I.E. a modified German Imperial eagle, which has been used by "Germany" for centuries) is such a cool looking design, and once you get rid of that dang swatstika it's just a bird

Hmmm, walk ways to the turrets, I considered that at first but then thought about the fact that you'd probobly have access to the turrets from inside the ship since if you suffered casualties it would be much easier to get folks in there from inside the ship rather then via Spacewalk.

Railing might be a good idea, I'll check into how I can do that.

The Superstructure sort of requires that blue thing on top as it is the GFG (Gravity Focusing Generator) that is required for a warp point jump so on a "bismarck" styled superstructre it'll still be there....but I will check on making a more imposing super structure


Oh as for the emblems and all that I have attached a closeup picture of the ship so you can get an easier look at things.

weeb...

And I didn't mean getting rid of the glowing blue protrusions. Perhaps what you could do with the Bismarck superstructure, find a 3d image of the Bismarck (such as in Empire Earth, though I think that it will be tiny when compared to your image) and take the superstructure from there. On the other hand, EE isn't such a good idea, as you have no details... Try to find another Bismarck pic then. Use the exact superstructure, modify it to adjust it to the color/texture of the rest of the ship, and then place the GFG in place of the chimney.

Nice shot. Man I do really like where your going with this concept, however your current model still needs a lot of TLC. I cannot wait to see your final version. I bet it will blow people away.
