I am guessing that the admins did a wipe of the system because I cannot find my original thread; therefore, IA’ll start anew.
For those longtime members, you may remember this ship, for newer members, I hope you enjoy where this is going.
Originally started as a test bed for materials and textures, I started with this design.
Yes, itA’s a flying Aztec pyramid with a ton of guns, different but just too weird. So, I changed my mind. Inspired by something I saw somewhere on the net, I came up with this ship, the U.E.S. NAVARONE.
Again, this is a gunship or more precisely a battlecruiser; therefore, it must have guns, right?
Of course, one must be able to communicate with headquarters.
All this was where I ended this project a few years ago; however, a few days ago, I was cleaning up some old files and ran across this ship. The more I looked at it, the more I realized there was somewhere else I could go with this design. Why stop at just a battlecruiser, why not create a fleet of ships, or at least one of each design, such as a carrier, a dreadnaught, etc.
Thus, I am creating this thread based on that idea, to create several ships based on the same platform, using the same basic components, but each ship would be different in some way to give it its own uniqueness while still fitting in with the rest. With this in mind, I began construction of a carrier and a few fighters; hereA’s the result.
IA’ll post more as I complete each ship. By the way, the carrier is called the U.E.S. ODYSSEY.

Nice work on everything so far. I especially like the Navarone.
Amazing work and welcome back.
I also "snapped" a few pics of a few fighter squadrons.
Then I tried a new background to let the ships stand out better.
Enjoy.
Well, looking at your ships, there are 2 general ideas I get.
Either, the enemy is emploing a great number of small vessels, requiring an Area of Saturation fire.
Or the enem is using very big ships where you can't miss and the more guns fire, the faster a big beast goes down.
I started working on a shuttlecraft last night, may have pictures soon as it will not be very intricately detailed like these ships.
Since we're on the subject, I've been trying to figure out what other ship types would fit "my universe," any ideas. Keep in mind the basis of these ships, ancient to modern day naval ships.
Point of Suggestion; Perhaps keep the shuttle unarmed? Or maybe two variants, where one is unarmed and another is converted for gunship duty?
As for other ships you've
Battlecruiser, Frigate, Corvette, Light Corvette, Cutter, Gunship, Medical Ship, Transport, Hauler, Tanker, Tug, Stealth Ship (Space Sub), Dreadnought
Keep up the good work!
Well, let's see what old age navies had (besides the already mentioned). Fire-ships (sometimes called Torch-ship), Carracks, Galleys, Galleon, Galleass, Man-of-War, Mineunters/-sweepers/-layers, Monitor, Sloop, Cruiser.
Oh feck.....how many closets did they have to raid and nannies to conscript to make a cloak that big? :P
