Depends how size is interpreted, but a Mothership must be seen as a parent to the Sistership. This may be in more weapons, size or another superior ability which can be visually interpreted. If you choose to have these two combine in order to create an absolute monster of a ship, then by all means but remember the mother/sister relation.

Your render is essentially your selling point, hence your presentation needs to be strong. Everything plays a part in score as so: Concept 15%, Model 35%, Texture 35%, Presenation 15%. If you wish to add text outside of your render, that is fine, take into consideration the judges time and attention span (i.e. if the text gets too long winded).

You'll need a Mothership & a Sistership. I wouldn't display multiple meshes which are significantly different because of the position of various modules. Stick with the best configuration for your final render.

Yes, by all means. Just remember, you only have 800x600 for both ships.

To be announced, waiting on our 3rd VIP judge
