I needed to make a big enemy ship to the context of what I'm working on. I made this I think its defenitely in the Mass Effect, Star Wars, or Eve Online genre in size. The front port is actaully a energy beam gun that creates a massive electrified beam. I stacked the destroyer by a galaxy class for scale. I just have to put some textures on this. I made a low poly design with clean topolgy and it will be part of the Arclasin vessels thread

DonAât know exactly why, but the front view makes me remeber the movie Scream: http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_ArqvQH-bqws/S6iOp7KAYWI/AAAAAAAAALs/wthzbq2i_Pw/s400/scream-4.jpg
lol. It does look similiar. To me it looks something like a Egyptian mask. Someone might see this as a face of death.
As for the scale the description giant, huge, and massive is the direction I'm going for.
I played Eve Online but not long enougth to learn all the classes and their respective sizes. Since its a steep learning curve. As for the models, I stacked 82 cubes that are segmented to about 3 sections averagiing 3.33 meters. So each cube is 10 meters. That equals about 820 meters in height. To test the theory I put the Galaxy class against the same scaling ruler roughly and the saucer windows matched for each deck. So I think it's pretty accurate give or take some meters.

Frigates are typically smaller than destroyers. If they are three times the size then I'd say that qualifies as cruiser/battle cruiser.
I did the basic of the Arcasin Battlecruiser. I would like any feedback. For a moment you see two fighters pass by. They are the fighters which I am doing the animation now.
