Perhaps make it a bit longer, right now it looks like half the ship is engine. so unless it goes reeealy fast...

well comparatively, I see it being a very small ship, and yea the engine does take up a large portion of the ship - but like I said earlier, the order focuses on hit and run attacks, and needs to be able to move around quickly and without drawing a lot of attention to themselves.
Overall this thing would probably be slightly smaller than the liberty cruiser.
I still wish I could use the forward gun version though =( I liked that one.

I scaled the engine down even more, cut the 'panel' parts almost in half, and added some more ribs under the center of the ship. Comparison:

Scale is a little messed up there but it's close. The only parts of the ship that were changed in size were the back two segments of the engine - they were shortened and the radius of the rear part was reduced.

Best thing is to reduce the radius of the engine, not its lenght.
You could also make it a 2 engines ships (two smaller engines on top of eachothers). Or 3 engines, distribute them in a triangle like shape

If he didn't reduce engine length, it would have taken up half the ship.

well it looks about the size of a large gunboat or small cruiser now, IMO. The engine is still large but not so much that it makes it look goofy.

If this cruiser may have 2 or 3 engines, the engine won't look as big as on these model and take the half of the ship.
Order Cruiser - Zero755 - 07-18-2008
Definately looks better, I also like the idea of multiple engines, granted the Order mimics thier ships after Libertys, this could be the turning point where to Order really start to develop their own image

just one question Lib cruseir haven't got 4 engines?:mellow:
