You're not going to re-model the ships blocky arse?
The front looks completely awesome, but that rear part is somehow too "simple"...
As for the size, I like B or C most. Not sure with C because it may not be detailed enough to look good.

The rear blocky part is the engine/docking space so it shape is more heading towards efficiency then design.
And it's not really 'that' blocky, might just appear so from the images.

Make it slightly bigger than C, so that it is noticably bigger than a Rheinland battleship.
If it is C size, it will still have major trouble with asteroid fields even due to it's shape.
These ships are also meant to be slow ones I'm guessing that aren't in a huge huge hurry to get places, so they could fly around asteroid fields. Flying 50k is barely a few minutes after all.

It can't be bigger.. C is already 25% wider then RH BS, and it's the same lenght and almost s tall...

okay then I'll go for C in stead of D

people dont get crazy about the size, i think C is perfect size. if you make it much bigger than that you wont get through jumpholes. and if it was much bigger than C the proportions wouldnt look very good anymore.
otherwise a very fine model tic, hoping to see it fly around in game.

Here is a little better comparison with the C model.

When I said blocky I meant the engine part, not the docks.
After I saw this image I think you should stay with a slightly larger B. C is too huge to my mind. You should make it a bit smaller than the Rheinland BS.
My opinion...

I love it, Tic. I wish I could give constructive criticism but it's just too nice.
I think that C would be a great size for it, as, in my opinion, having a warship with a greater size than a ship intended to have the population of a city is a strange idea.
I'll take two.

That's funny, because it reminds me nothing of FS2 XD
Pre-post edit- Actually, looking at that post it does highly remind me of FS2. It sort-of resembles the Mentu-Class cruiser, but with a Terran texturing scheme.

This idea of an armored flying city has been used in Sins Of a Solar Empire,with the Vasari race.
Basically,all of their caps are cities,and I love that concept.
Your model is great and the idea is very interesting,not to mention all the possible RP you can make out of it.
Great job !
