Small update again
Reason: The ship is one chunck without any holes - Easier to get overview of the concept now.

Change list:
- Added small wings/fins to the back to give variation from the standard changes in height of the hull.
- Added engine area and made some pretty standard thrusters - it fits the theme/style good, but it isnt very original.
- Overall clean up




To do list:
- Redesign weaponery (and add more weapons to weapon platforms)
- (Maybe add more modules)
- Add antennas/sensors/whatever to give detail to help with illusion of size
- Add tubes/bridges/restrictors
- Optimize

Now that the concept is more or less shown I would like some C&C to help find out what works and what dosnt work.

Meanwhile I'll start focusing on a fighter design. Or maybe do some covettes or frigates instead, cause fighters (even large/heavy fighters) will be VERY small compared to the cruiser so the difference in texture maps will be crazy and I wont be able to show it fully.
I have even considered doing a destroyer.
Also it seems like everyone is doing carrier/fighter so doing something different like two medium/big ships would be different.

If I stick to corvette/frigate I can still dock them in the cruiser which will be rather cool.
