That top one looks amazing, id love to lay my greasy fingers on that.

bottom one, seen that concept before, even in my own designs, bridge looks a bit odd, like its not part of the ship, the ships seems rather big, yet only 3 small mounts for possible PD? I would add 3 more (2 between the middle medium mounts, 1 above the top medium mount) overall good work.

not neccesarily, one can use the medium mounts too for pd or choose to increase its shield to make up for it.

decisions are there to be made. if a ship only had one reasonable loadout than that ain't fun.
its good if ships have stronger and weaker point.

Overall shape looks good, but i can clearly see 4 ships that have been pasted right on top of each other, no welding at all, you need to change that.

Spoiler

[close]

Not sure if that gives you the idea of what i mean.

I made my own version of the Wyvera (the small one), if you look at the medium center/rear turret, that used to be 2 large ones, but the ship looks like it has always been like this, that's what i mean with welding, you make small details by hand so it looks like the pieces are built together without any "lines" that makes kit bashing apparent, however that was a bad example, as i have failed with shading on the top of those curves.

the the top piece that is the center of a Medusa, add some plating and slowly change the color from the dark blue to light blue so it looks like it belongs there. by the 2 hangars down the middle, try to get the hull appear as angled plating and have it somewhat merge with the black line's shading.

The bottom Medusa, i would just remove it or build out its top sides to merge with the ship hull.

Not sure if this comment shined some light, but in short, you need welding on those Medusa parts and around the middle.

Oh well, You need to paint new hull by hand so the "parts" look like they belong to each other instead of being simply a ship pasted on top of another ship, or a very big ship cut in 2/3rd's of itself and you merge the 2 remaining pieces ( like i did with the Wyvera), obviously they wont fit, so you improvise by hand to make them fit.
