i appreciate the suggestion about the shape - but no, i won t change it to be thinner in the rear.
the ship doesn t need to be physicly lighter in the rear - it just needs to feel lighter. - and it is. the front section is a massive module. - the forked tail is a rather graceful arrangement of hull that might be the fuel depot or something else.
while it is true that other capital ships like the juggernaut feature a much more massive front section and a thinner rear - this ship is supposed to be a "next generation" medium warship. - for the first time, the rear plates do serve a purpose and are not just very thick armour plating.
but i ll conduct other changes.. like adding modelled hardpoint locations.
