Replacement for the Zoner Carrier?

[Jinx]

the current carrier is based on my taste - but i m aware that it doesn t quite fit in. - it was mostly done to quickly replace the battlestar advanced.

i don t mind replacing a ship with a better one. - but quite frankly, i d expect something better from Luis. - this ship looks about as uninspired as the one i did... and also quite low on general details.

by the looks its a bit too much looking like the starlancer era.

the following is all about taste - so there s no good / bad, right / wrong:

- the tail is rather strange. its simply scaled down to a spikey bit - but onion shaped instead of rounded.
- the hangars are huge - but only two blocks. - especially the front and side view displays no creative lining. - from the side, they are straight boxes ... and from the front, they may rather be bend down at the sides to create a / \ shape rather than a - - shape. it would help breaking the horizontal / vertical lines that dominate the model too much
- the difference to the current carrier is too little. - if there s a replace, it might as well be something really new based on the zoner lines, - the aquilon is not really zonerish ( it wasn t sure what faction it would go to at the time it was made )

all in all - luis has made some excellent designs already - but imo, this is not one of them. - this comes mostly from the proportions that i don t like.

its extremely wide for its hight - and appears too short somehow. - as if it had run into a wall. - if the there was more detail added to increase the hight of the ship.... and it was elongated by at least 20% - it might look much better, imo
