Hey Rico, glad to see you posting again, even though your not back:).
*INCOMING TRANSMISSION*
*one word, pronounced through his teeth in a low voice - "Cardamiiine!"* :wacko:
Your Master has thought you well. There's something I'm cookin' but for now it's just test renders. Anyway, so this doesn't stray (where was that "offtopic smiley"?) off the topic next in line was this:
the battleship had to be 316m wide x 322m high x 2047m long (in feet: 1056.4ft x 1036.7ft x 6715.8ft) in order to have a decent Sabre (12.5m x 8.5m x 17.2m == 41ft x 27.8ft x 56.4ft) squadron fit inside the flat front sections which are the only thing that looks like a fighterbay to me (I don't see any other use in that design, not bashing Eppy's design here, in fact I like it very much - looks like a sword:)). In fact if you go to Wikipedia and look at the Nimitz class supercarrier, you'll see that the size of that thing compared to the planes it's carrying is pretty much the same as the "fighterbay"'s compared to the Sabre. Besides the fact that, ingame, you could fit a few dozen planets in the battleship :wacko:=> Outcasts can Planetnap planets and, in a controlled environment, inject Cardamine into whole ecosystems without the trouble of fighting the locals - key to Outcast domination of Sirius :yahoo:- that's it! - don't forget the bulkheads and the rest of infrastructure needed to hold the behemoth together and add the hull armor.
Where was I? Does anyone care for the number crunching?

Might use that sentence in the future.
