Sorry Jinx, but this ship wouldnt fit at all.
Most of your ships are just sexy, which fit best and some just look the same.
And some just dont fit, like this one, it looks great, but it really doesnt fit :/

Zoner Battlecruiser.
Awesome.
(It probably won't get implemented, but it looks good. Well done.:))

How about a zoner transport?
zoner battlecruier! - JIVA - 09-06-2008
firstly - no worry, it won t be submitted....
secondly - we will prolly get a zoner transport:

the order gets a cruiser like carrier if everything goes well - and the zoners have more than enough ships as it is anyway. - so yea, no real need for another ship.

The carrier design doesnt seem like a ship I can RP with as a
smaller recon cap ship for the Tenabras. Though as swiss said
if the current one you showed had a little more Order resemblance to it.
That would make one awesome Order Destroyer/battlecruiser.
Since to me. having fighters then a battleship than a carrier
I would think the carrier is a little stronger then the battleship
which would make it the order having 2 battleship type
ships and 0 cap ships below that.
EDIT: If you do continue it and make it into an order ship.
I think the front 2 parts (That are flat then go to the front point)
of the ship should flatten out and curve like the osiris
Than that side large square. I would assume is the docking
area for maybe a wing or 2 of small fighters/bombers.
That could stay it looks rather nice.
The bridge could maybe resemble that of the osiris a little more
rather than a liberty dread resemblance.
OH! and maybe you can replace that back center part
with a bigger main engine that looks exactly like the Osiris one.
Except smaller. (See that section under the bridge right in front
of the engines to the Osiris.) You can replace the whole middle
back end with that and make the top look like your current
design. That way it has the Zoner (ish) look to it.
In scale the ship could be about the size of the Outcast Destroyer
maybe a bit longer. and of course bulkier.
or if it would be a cruiser, about the size of the Liberty Battlecruiser
if not a tad smaller.
*Drools* dang now I want you to continue to make it!
edit: if you dont continue it can you at least change it to look
like what I just said and texture it, I'll pay you for it. I just want
to see what it would look like and maybe play with it on my sandbox mod.

i added 4 large satelite dishes, and a massive sideways sensor array ( like the sleeper ships bridge ). the front of the ship is "sharpened" and i added two thick shields around the back engine.
i ll texture it and hardpoint it for stewcool - but i m not sure if it should be a submission - or even a serious ship anyway. - i agree that it does NOT look too freelancerish. - it looks too modern, and not modern in a way freelancer looks modern.
anyway - i ll texture it in a dark osiris skin with silvery linings, - so that the larger plating parts support some sort of a passive stealth look.
edit: - its ironic...i know... - the outcasts will loose their pencake destroyer when epyon finishes his concept - and if i feel like it - the order might gain a pencake battlecruiser:D... that is supposed to be a deep space explorer. - bit like a more battle-ready spyglass with all its antennaes and satelites.
edit2: if it was finished - it would definitely be a joint project between zoners and the order ( the similarities with the new juggernaut are just too much - but the juggernaut has its retro look, this ship looks like a totally new project only based on the zoner designs ) -- for reference ... the jug is below in my sig.

Beautiful sexy looking ships, the both of them worthy of space.
the tractor thingy sticking out the side like the outcast destroyer though..
It bugs me, seems to set the ship off balance someone maybe it's just me
i like things symmetrical
zoner battlecruier! - Jinx - 09-07-2008
well, thats the point. - to make it less symetrical. - its a little trick to achieve a more harmoious shape ( or at least - i use it as a tool to achieve that - sometimes it works, sometimes not ) - its the same with faces ( real faces )
a perfectly symetrical face looks odd, only when a face offers slight non symetrical characteristics, it becomes - interesting. - ok... this huge sensor array is hardly what you d call " a slight non symetrical characteristic " but stewcool asked for massive sensors - so he got massive sensors:crazy:
well - and yea; its supposed to look like the outcast destroyer. - now the point is. - the outcast destroyer is a great model ( or lets say, the homeworld 2 battlecruiser is ) - but we will loose it once epyon replaced it... - so why not keep the concept of it alive .... with the outcast enemies hehe.

A battlecruier? Some sort of new capship? :lol:
zoner battlecruier! - Xing - 09-08-2008
no, only a few faction actually had the battlecruiser class...
well, I think only the BH and Liberty really...
