Loving the work on it so far Swallow, though I'm gonna go ahead and say I echo Thunderer's concerns regarding the fins on the side.
Furthermore: the elongated nose/central section at the front has me concerned for sizes: proportionally the Sarissa was fine, it just needed general scaling down by percentages. The extra-long prow has me a little worried as to how it'll end up being balanced.

Mhmm... now that's a sexy beast. I think I might send Swallow my altered Ranseur files to see if he might want to do something with them. Keep up the godly work, Swallow~ :3
I think the current Sarissa has to be changed with Swallow's model.
The model Swallow is working on (although a WIP) is very well done. That shape actually remembers a sarissa spear. I'd like to see it ingame along Barb's concept OC battlecruiser.
Worked on front top and bottom, removed most bad faces, shortened the nose a bit, added docking entrances to make bottom front more bulky, instead removed the docking bay under the cross to achieve more sleekness. Didn't work with the rear part yet.
Input please.
EDIT: Also I've kept the triangular shape of the hull, because otherwise it loses its original flavour and becomes something else but Sarissa...
The triangular shape is the problem, though. It makes the ship fat, and the bridge makes it tall. Length is irrelevant compared to width and height. If it could be narrowed down or flattened, then it would be balanceable as a medium battleship.
Although this version is even more eye pleasing than the current Sarissa, it doesn't solve the very problem it is being remodeled for. At least I think it's being remodeled because it's unbalanceable.
To change the general shape is, according to that, not something you aren't supposed to do, but the very opposite.
I myself would prefer if it was narrow, as that would make it better for strafing left-right, which I'm better at, but some other people would prefer if it was flat, to strafe up-down. It doesn't matter which of these two. Find the one which suits the needs of your design better.
