Biggest shipset *ever*. Meta-compatible. Released!

It looks wrong? Oh. I just thought it looked nice. But now that you mention it, it does look kind of strange.

Less technobabble, still an explanation:
The Bartelians' on-board computers on Carriers (Carriers, not Light or Heavy Carriers, just Carriers) continually makes slight course modifications to adjust for the spin. Essentially, the ship makes a constant turn left when traveling in a straight line. Not that it flies at an angle; it just compensates continually.

[Suicide Junkie]

In order to not spin, your thrust would have to be going out in line with your center of mass, and the ship would be basically flying diagonally.

Course corrections aren't really possible when you can't turn right, or even slow down a leftwise turn once you start.

What you'd need is some smaller thrusters on the far side to counteract the torque provided by the main engines.
If the extended arm of the one-sided carrier bay isn't too heavy, (probably mostly open cargo/launch space), you'd only need a small thruster at the end, since torque is force cross (vector multiplication) distance.

Updated Bartelians, with glowing engine flames, secondary thrusters on the Carrier fighter bays (only Carrier, not CarrierLight or CarrierHeavy, just Carrier) and a Heighliner pic. (Don't worry, I've named it Highliner to have it appear in the Highliner Mod, but the actual 'Liners from the Dune universe are called Heighliners. That's why.)

Preview of the future ship pics. RAR file with all that I've currently got. It's prolly gonna be quite a while until this revamping is finished..... :-/

Nice work mate. You've put a lot of hours into these, I can tell.

[Strategia_In_Ultima]

This small compilation was done in ~30 minutes, 45 max.

If you're talking about the shipset, well, yeah, that's been at least several days of work doing approx. 3 hours (I guess) a day making these models, so I think at least somewhere in the vicinity of 10 hours.

Thank Cthulhu for the fact that DoGA's so easy to use!

edit: 'Nother update; a 1024x768 JPEG rendition of the 128x128 bitmap of the Colony Ship. One of my personal favorites; what you think aboot de colony dome?

1024x768 rendition of the Light Carrier portrait;

A Light Carrier, escorted by a Gunboat and two Corvettes, is flying over a planet while the entire group tries to avoid the heavy ground fire. One of the Corvettes has received a hit to their right wing.
