This looks fantastic and I will +1 on @Thunderer opinion "I'm fond of this syncretism of Jinx' and Soul's models.". This is a Winner although Unlucky can surprise us more.
@Unlucky_Soul , Can you hide the other models because its lagging a lot when checking post 1?
About the model...maybe you should remove 2 of the side engines (the below ones) they are not looking fine and are definitely making the model heavier. I dont like that the "tubes" of the hangars are still visible. Just make armor around them so they wont be visible at all. The hangars might also be brought backward to look more protected. Currently its like under construction ship. Also it does not strike me as a "command ship" nor a big carrier as it should be.
The image I shown you (which pacific bumped in #21) really looks nice and logical improvement to the current model. In terms of design it looks new and modern instead old and rusty (like other bret ships). Also the GB and Destroyer prove the bretonians to have "different" approach when it comes to ship design, so keeping such strange shape is fine. (Dont think about balancing, you are not dev also Haste said something that he was able to change the "center" of the destroyer so here it wont be an issue). Currently your middle body and partially the backward engine area looks better, but the head and the "connector" btw the end of the armor shell and the beginning of the "quarters" looks incomplete.
For sake of "testing"...can you try to make a ship "Version 4" to be as in that image Pacific bumped?
PS: Tomorrow will show you my "collection" of "inspirational images" for bretonian ships. I am sure you would like them for your own inspiration. I've collected them from many sci-fi stuff - of course here we wont get imports but "inspiration" is always welcome and I see this is what we need. Because I see you repeat the "old" thread issues of moving in circles. We just need more "distinctiveness" and variation.

That indeed looks bloody amazing.

This Galaxy is vast; its wonders and beauty are almost unfathomable. But the galaxy also hides dark secrets, some of which have lain dormant since the beginning of time itself. There is a danger in secrets, both in seeking and in knowing. Some things are meant to be hidden from view. Some mysteries defy understanding, and sometimes even the things we think we know are untrue. Some secrets should remain untouched.

Until Jinx gives the green signal to use his model, I do not think it is fair to do it honestly

@Unlucky_Soul: My apology - i do not read that forum frequently anymore. You do have 100% freedom to use the old assets though - so go ahead and mish-mash the ship or part of it.
About the new models: V3:
- I like the head, the belly part, the engine part and the bridge
- I don't like the exposed side hangars, the "crushed" backward part
- The ship design is interesting and promising - could be turned in to awesome model
V4:
- I like the hidden hangars
- I don't like the "connector" between forward and backward parts and the engines - these side engines look awkward and making the whole ship look somehow small. There is very small area for "quarters" (windows) . The hangars are 4 and yet located so deep inside there is barely logical place for ships to be stored
- The ship design is strange and somehow looking small - i would not vote for it
Here is an image of the "best" parts from V3 and V4 tied together - a rough example:
If I have to choose between these version and this below...
My vote would go for this one. The design is just very aesthetic and somehow "dashing" with potential to be become exclusively better - especially the backward part which might need more "meat". Now that Jinx officially has let you to experiment with the current model my advice would be to take what is best from his model and add it some of yours. Would make more sense in RP to improve the current model instead an absolutely new ship. People dislike the ingame model because of the textures and lack of detail at some parts - its very "clean". So, adding more detail and some parts to make it better would be the goal.
I suggest you make the model from that image - it have so far the best potential in terms of "bretonian" fish and new design.
PS: There is no need to prepare polls so far. We need to have at least 3 ready models where the community could see and look, not few rough models some of which don't like bretonian so much. Also if the models are not so good in the end, we would better use the current one until "better" is done. You have the skill to model ships - there is no doubt with that - but just because people dislike the ingame model doesn't mean it should be replaced with "something" which later could be replaced as well. We need "epic" model and we have all the time we need to make such model, so no need to hurry at all. Once such model is done, then it could/should be replaced. So far, with all respect to your skills - I see no model worth replacing the current. But keep up cuz you are the only modder working on this project so far...don't allow critic to stop your work!
