Feedback appreciated (entire point of this thread).
Not fully ready for submission, but it'll be there soon barring any unforeseen consequences of this thread (for which we are certainly not prepared).

Impressive stuff I must say. You nailed the Rheinland aesthetic and still made the ship look advanced and new. Loving the idea of that massive turret, it looks fantastic on the model. I actually like this look more than the current RM Cruiser, that big massive curved belly section and the columns near it never looked right to me. Excellent look, love the general shape, especially how the engine module works on this one. I think this is like a real, proper, modernized RM capital ship... keeps the look and style of the battleship but does it smaller, cleans it up, gets classy and new and what not.
Also kudos to making some fantastic looking Cerberus guns, finally it looks like they are serious weapons and not a bunch of green bamboo tubes taped together.

very good! It looks Rheinland-ish, it isn't OP and Rheinland should have a BC

Hah I just noticed the fire control turret... cute idea, a radar dish that just turns to face targets. I like that.

Looks awesome ... and this is really gonna happen? In the next update or so?
Liberty has a BC so Rheinland needs one too :cool:

Not bad. Not bad indeed.
Overall it could use some more "details", look at the RM Cruiser for comparision and you will see - even without textures - the ship already looks like more than "a block".
My biggest concerns are the front and the mid section. Both lack those details and look too "flat" at the moment.
The mid section I dislike a bit because of the strong resemblance of the RM BS. Not every ship should be modeled after it.
The rest of the ship is alright, as I said, the level of model details should be increased though. More windows (I know they don't make much sense, but look at the other vanilla vessels), more different sections etc.
The Cerberus turret is just perfect, nothing to complain about there, same with the fire controll, though I have to ask, where it is supposed to be used?

Very nice model. I approve.
The stats seem to be balanced, too.

It sits right behind the main gun.
Not intended to be used anywhere else.
(Though it was amusing when I accidentally put it on every one of the ship's hardpoints)

This looks great.
Nicely done!

I kinda like the flat middle section, actually. Makes me think of WWII German tanks like the KT and its frontal sloping.
Overall, I really like it and the turret!
