So, for a couple years now I've been working off an on on developing my own universe. It's still very much a work in progress, but I've been toying around with some ship designs and this afternoon I decided to try and model one of them. The result is the Ares Class.

Length: ~520m
Beam: ~200m
Height: ~72m = 18 decks

Other Stats: Still a work in Progress.

Role: Carrier/Battleship (Still deciding if how I feel about fighter craft)

The Ares Class is the biggest ship ever launched by Earth. As the name suggests, this ship is designed to engage the enemy and neutralize them before they become a threat to Earth or her colonies.

As you will probably be able to tell the neoGalactica and the Daedalus 304 were heavy influences on the design of the ship.

So let me know what you think.

It might be my color blindness but I find the sketch very hard to see, the contrast of the picture isnt very strong. But as a huge fan on the neoBSG I love the design.

One thing I always find interesting. Almost everyone designs spaceship like modern jets to some extent. Why not have the engines and wings at the front rather than the back.

I'm not color-blind and it's still very hard to see, and there's little to indicate orientation. I do like the idea of an "end-loaded" design, however.

I'm not seeing a ship on that pic. It's just a green background with a black rectangle on it surrounded by a beveled edge.

Turn up contrast, there is a fainter grey sketch in it.

Try the new link. I forgot I'd put it on a black background to get the color black I wanted. I also made the color lighter in the new one so it's easier to see.

Much better. Looks like there's quite a strong Klingon influence on the design.

Much better! Nice looking design.
