    WIP update:
    I have finished 70% of the frame work and have build a lot of the interior (quite a lot), just need to add a few more rooms including the core room, bridge, gardens, execution rooms, prison and medical bay along with some others. Then Ill finish the Hull and add more detail to the hull after having fitted the systems.

    You know what I'd like to see? A big carrier (getting close to a Titan's size or to a Doomsday Device's), basic shape like the Ares, but more height and on each wing have space for either 2 Copernicus side by side or a really wide ship. Not to mention plenty of space for other ships. You could see it as a Carrier for Carriers... and at least a quarter of the ship carried should be protected by the big carrier (for having Carriers launching from Titan Carrier while both the Carriers and the Titan Carrier are launching up to Destroyers, an the Titan Carrier have docking sistems for 2 Battle Cruisers on either top or bottom and a Battleship on the other side of the battle cruisers.)

    Got it?

    Okay so you want a big carrier, with the general shape of the Ares and protected ports...sounds doable, I shall see what I can do, although ships that size take time to build, much time.

    So I found out how gifs work and decided to show you a peak of the Bar in my Wip

    Note, the lights flash in 0.5 second intervals so slower than seen here. I am 90% with the interior now and am just missing the command centres (you heard right it's more than one). And than I "just" have to finish everything else...
    This is what it looks like now:

    Okay, so the WIP is nearing completion, the rough outside is about 90% and I have started the first layer of detailing on the Hull. Weapons and rooms are finally done, and it already has some basic systems.

    I am not very happy with the back so I may rework it but I think I will keep the overall shape.


    The first details.

    The Turret design I will be using for the AMC turrets.
    Also I found this mod, it is amazing and I can only recommend it, here is some eye candy:

    That looks awesome!
    Your WIP (esp the front) reminds me of a warlock destroyer, love it.

    Ux-52 Anemoi Showcase:





    The activator re-activates the lights on the top, and only works if they are all off.



    Short update on the WIP: the hull is now 95% done and details are at around 30%, most of the essential systems have been put in, but still need adjusting. I have completed most turrets too, and still need to add the fighters and the radar dish. If anyone would be interested in filling a ship with shields...do say so because for those interested, I could use your help in filling the ship up.



    Less detailed parts:



    What do you think of this:

    Thank you, and the "peace dove" just happens to sit on a big cannon (although I may change it into a rocket launcher)...it encourages cooperation ;)

    The Kepler is certainly one of the best looking salvagers I've seen. Great job.

    Another "little" update, after a long break. I have completed a small carrier

    , and have continued work on my WIP. The rough outside is done as is the inside, it just needs to be filled, and the detailing is 50% done.

    Really nice detailing on the WIP however the green doesnt blend well and makes it seem to cluttered, red or black would look better with the current greebling imo. Great job!

    Meh, I like the green. Gives it more of a terran/army-ish feel.

    Anyways, Almond, a splendid ship. I am amazed at how you managed to do all that detail and not burn out.

    Thanks a lot. I may change the green later just to see what other colours would be like. But I must finish all the details first...I did burn out at some point and left it for a bit, I personally like to do detailing while watching a movie, it keeps things interesting.
