@Silus44: Excellent ships mate. I share David's enthusiasm for this: they are definitely recognizable MoO, but at the same time something new.

Thanks for the support!

I've finally finished another one, after several disastrous attempts at making larger sized ships.  This is a second destroyer sized ship with four small side mounts and two medium mounting spots at the front.

Phew, finally got this done!  I'm not 100% happy with every part of this, and may yet make more changes, but the capital ship is finished enough to put up here, I think.

Could be worse, its feels very same-y though. Due to the overuse of that one big ship on its wheel.

Good point; I can probably go through and vary each one a bit to even to make it less homogeneous.  Other item to work on right now are the gray spokes; there is a lot of potential for holding other bits of stuff in scaffolding between them.

Actually, I might even be able to simply kitbash another piece of a MoO II ship onto one or more of the doom star ships.  Maybe take some front ends or wing-guns to make forward facing gun mounts on it.  Right now it has room for energy mounts facing all directions evenly (design choice).

These ships are meant to have a little bit of a junkyard feel to them, hence open ship sections and a reliance on shields rather than armor, so having bits and pieces sticking out would both add to that feel, and make it more interesting.
