The deficiencies of the Bretonian Battleship in a Battleship's primary role, that is, killing other Battleships, is sorely demonstrated in combat against the Kusari Shankopotamus. Multiple people have contacted me over the last six or seven months and asked for something bigger; I even had a model at one point, though that got thrown out because the concept was wrong. The general idea currently is to create a ginormous fish of death that has so much armor and firepower it makes the Death Star look small; ideally slightly smaller than the Rheinland battleship; it should be able to destroy a Kusari Battleship with a sizable amount of hull left. So, it came up again with Markam, and a few days ago I took another crack at it with my graph pad and came up with that, which has the working title of 'Leviathan.' I'm currently on pseudo-vacation, so I have no intention of starting this for a bit (not to mention I have other projects that need finishing), and making this ship is going to be a monumental, albeit very satisfying - I love modeling for Bretonian textures - undertaking. Cheers. Discuss.

Incidentally, Tic, the resemblance to the bow of a Royal Liner is unintentional. It's built like that so it looks like a giant, toothy sea monster, which I thought was appropriate for a Bretonian ubership.

Well it does look like that, but i don't really think a same design would be used for a liner and a scary dradnoght. If it was me i'd redo the front part a bit, make it maybe a bit more similar to the Bret BSs front part.
I mean, if people see a Royal Liner ingame, and then see this model, it' might end up with "Oh look, it's just heavily armored giant Royal Liner.."
but before you seriously model it - maybe it should be discussed if we need a heavy bretonian battleship. - the current bretonian battleship is a small sized battleship with medium powercore.
