    Formerly the Stingray Carrier, I decided to upgrade. I'm working on a fully immersive interior and the exterior is only about 30% done. What you see now is about half the size of the ship. I have a long way to go but decided I should get some opinions, hope you enjoy it.

    This is the USS Silverwing, soon to house my Blacksheep Squadron (another WIP). This carrier is armed to the teeth and has enough thrust as is to turn at a fast rate as well as enough firepower to blow through a planet no problem. I have tested the shields against my medium fighters and it takes quite some time to break through and start ripping into the ship. I'll be adding many turrets and a few buildings on the carrier wings as well as towers etc. All the fine details and interior well come after the frame.

    If I might make a suggestion, a hangar at the end of each of your flight decks would make quite a bit of sense. Right now, they just look like two nonfunctioning roads. Other than that, really liking this ship, good design on the bridge and the aft portion looks especially elegant.

    thanks! Yep there well be flight deck buildings and towers on each side , already have them mocked up on another model just need to transfer \'em over. Basically for now I\'m just framing the main ship, weaponry, boosters, power etc. I did start a little detail at the front of the flight decks but decided it would be better once the frame is complete. I\'m glad you like it!
