Taking a break from the hyperion till i get a better computer to handle it and instead working on a scaled down version of the Ardent Prayer (halo Covenant corvette). real scale, it\'s supposed to measure roughly 450m, but this is scaled down to about 250m. the exterior is still WIP, same with interior, but hopefully it will be done soon and i can add the systems to it. (interior will be basic: just the bridge/control room, a interior docking bay with small fighters, upper EVA docking bay with small fighters, and hallways to connect them)
since it IS a small capital ship, it needs protection using turrets, and i will be adding a large number of turrets mounted inverse-broadside within the arches of the lower ring. hopefully a swarm of turrets flushmounted inside this ring will be kept protected from enemyy fire from the main ship\'s shields while dishing out enough shots on target to make it a significantly difficult target...
pictures!
UPDATE STATUS:
interior is starting to take shape, exterior still needs more work, but getting much closer
See all the glowing dots on the bottom? each of those will have a twin barrel turret docked neatly inside the arching shell.
