Civilian carrier. Done on 22 May 2016, Texture rework pending.

I generally like way you made it look so far , but i do have some suggestions :
-Stretch it a little , to be longer but thiner , that will give it more elegant line , big part of ship charm is not only good stats but good look also ,
-You may want to change front of ship to be more round like on top and flat on bottom , similar to one on Galactica,
-You may also add docking bays similar to ones on Galactica in place of those extra side engines , and you can put 2 extra engines below and little in front those 2 on rear end of hull ,

-Give it rows on windows in front part , like in a liner , since it is civilian explorer/carrier and it is logical to have some luxury facilities , but not on middle and back , those are battle parts of the ship , more armored without windows and luxury things ,
-You may add some kind of command bridge on rear of ship .

As for stats , i recommend good armor and weak weapons , carrier need to survive not to give a punch , be able to defend against snubs , and possible give limited support from long range . Also since he will be heavily used as explorer , i recommend to increase cruise speed to 340 , not to go at snail speed trough systems anymore , but can still be cached by all ships , and to have increased cargo to be able to mount both Survey module and Jump systems .
So something like this :
-Medium armored BS and agility , around 1.000.000 HP , 7.000.000 power core , Cruiser Shield , no truster ,
-Only light BS , Cruiser or Gunboat weapons ( for solaris ) , maybe 2 to 4 slots for BS Flaks , or 4 FIGHTER Missile slots ( so it can chase off Bombers that attack at 50 meters ) 1 BS or Cruiser Heavy slot or Forward gun for long range support , no primaries ,
-2500 cargo space , NO CM slot ( cant use cloak or cloak disruptor ) .
