Greetings All!
I have myself a nearly finished ship that is in need of some constructive criticism. So, without further ado, I give you: The Eye of Eridani
It's supposed to be both good-looking and functional.
The giant eye beam is just a low power salvage array meant just for the cool looking effect, but it also has plenty of real weapons. A 4x heavy long-range missile volley, a heavy long-range beam, a light heat-seeker volley, and a 4x medium continuous beam array. Plus 4 free-floating light long-range beam turrets and 4 ugly looking PD turrets.
Defensively, I've crammed in 1.4million shields w/ 15k regen, 1mill armor, 36mill power with 1mill regen, 20% ion defense, and a radar jammer.
(But, I've never actually been in a pvp fight, so I have no idea if those numbers are good or not. It kills pirate stations just fine...)
On the aesthetics side, I'm very proud of my great eye, the free-floating turrets, and the engine-beam tail section, but I could use some advice on how to make the talon and saucer sections look less boring.
This is my first serious attempt at building a ship, so I'm sure I've made plenty of noob mistakes. Feel free to point 'em out.
(Oh, and pay no attention to the little shuttle thing attached to the top of the sphere. I was just using that to take some screenshots.)
