Not too bad.. maybe an operational stealth fighter?
It'd have to be larger than the Pegasus, first off, since they have similar proportions, probably slower and marginally less maneuverable... and better armed.

Yeah.. sounds good. How about a Stelth Bomber?

I prefer covert strike bomber myself. Lots of payload and shields but very little armor and a low weapon compatibility.

For the SuperJug, I'd advise shortenning the forward spikes and having an elbow that bends each towards center. As far as an advanced reactor, you could take a page from the Romulans or Minbari and have it powered by a forced quantum singularity.
For the cruiser thing, as you said it is kinda shivan but also kinda terran, so why not advertise it as a hybrid. If you don't want to use it yourself, there are enough new campaigns out there that want hybrid shivan-terran craft that it would be well recieved.
Your fighter is starting to remind me of some of the Ancients ships, even you hybird cruiser seems that it could be reskinned as Ancients. If anyone it still planning on using the ancients mods, this fighter model could make a good replacement for the existing ancients support ship (look through Inferno's models and you'll understand).
Later!

I was just starting to add turrets and I saw that too. I think I will call it a Hybrid. does anyone know of a readme for adding turrets in Truespace?And also when I get my ships out anyone can use em.

to moonsword;
while u are a pro, working on one of the best campaigns i have ever seen, that doesnt mean u can grill people who are having a try at campaign design.
while im disgusting myself (sounding like meh english teacher)
that was takin the term "constructive criticism" to the extreme.
hes made an attempt at making a dreadnaught. while it doesnt have quite enough polys and the spike config reminds me of some other shivan ships, its still not bad.
i agree. 80 sathanas really took the sting out of the word juggernaught, but if he wants to continue with the motto "bigger is better - and damn more appealing" so be it.
EDIT: freespace oracle has a walk through for turreting

One, first off, I wasn't the only person grilling him on that one. Second, I prefer to be frank and very explicit. Third, believe me, I won't be the only one who responds that way... and that's actually my last comment on the subject.
And fourth, leave my affiliations out of this. They have nothing to do with my opinions on the subject.
EDIT: Fifth, if I was out of line, I think some of the people already registered would have said something... as opposed to you registering and your sole post so far is this.
Sixth, if I was belittling or grilling him, believe me, I would have bothered to add in the part about how the model's actually pretty nice.

It definitely needs more polies - we have HTL now - make use of it. Shivan ships these days should be still be spiky, but if you look at ships like the Cain and Sathannas, it looks like V were going far more for curvy-spiky thank straight out spiky spiky.
Err... yeah. That made sense.

Can you get me the website for the freespace oracle. I have been looking for it a long time , but can't find it. Any help would be great. And I have kinda put my Dreadnought on hold for the time being. I go with smaller thing like Cruiser or corvettes for the time being and so many people would like to have more of em.

As long as no-one starts hurling personal insults, comments are ok, both positive and negative ones.
