    I've almost finished the exterior of one of my recent star destroyer projects. I've been working on this for a few hours every week for the past 3-4 weeks. So far I'm pretty happy with this original star destroyer design, the only thing that I'm having problems with is figuring out the interior layout that I want to use and how to implement logic within the ship.


    Backstory

    During the Galactic Civil war, the Empire was in need of small enforcement ships under 500 meters that could act independently from a major fleet group. The Centurion Class was the ship design chosen for its relative cheap cost and decent firepower. the ship is 445 meters long, 146 meters high and 187 meters wide. These ships were seen widespread across the galaxy as planetary police vessels and anti-pirate patrollers. A number of ships were also sent to battlegroups as anti-fighter screen ships or as escort ships for cargo vessels. By the end of the Civil War these ship designs were taken over by the planets they were stationed at and repurposed for a number of roles. Some of the new roles that the Centurion Class eventually took on were cargo ships, escort carriers, gunboats, diplomatic cruisers, and refueling ships. The Centurion class also became prized pirate flagships in the outer rim during the early years after the Civil War.


    Weapons

    So far the Centurion has 6 quad turbo-laser mounts that are mainly for anti fighter and anti corvette operations, although I only have one mounted currently. There are also 3 small single barrel turbo-lasers with more to come for AMS and anti-fighter use. The ship also features a decent sized hangar bay that can fit up to ten TIE fighters or eight TIE fighters and two TIE bombers.

    Stats (likely to change)

    Looks good! The really tall hangar disrupts the shape of the hull a little, but it looks pretty cool. You should consider making the hangar go through the ship like the separatist hangars. That'd be pretty impressive. I can see some inspiration from the victory class.

    Very nice. But my star wars geek side prompts me to mention that turbolasers are generally large weapons used against capital ships. Anti missile or fighter weapons would generally be laser cannons.

    Thanks man! Yeah I really wanted the hangar doors to be smaller but I laid out the wireframe before I had a TIE fighter to dock in the ship and after I found one I basically designed the entire hangar area around the TIE fighters I was using. The hangar is also open like the Seperatist ones you just can't tell from the angle :P

    Yeah I was really going for a design of a Corellian gunships guns that I saw in a mod of Sins of a Solar Empire so I wasn't really sure what they would be classified as. The next ship that I'm working on will definitely have some actual beefy anti-cap weapons ;)
