Nice ship Zieman

Heres's my entry for this challenge, the "Oommer" (or "Behesc" as the design team affectionately calls it)

It's a good design, but it's so dark! The old Space 1999 Eagles were bright and white and they stood out and people could admire them ... sort of like the USS Enterprise, and the Millennium Falcon, and the Star Destroyers and X-Wings and the ships and shuttlecraft in 2001: A Space Odyssey ... I'm sure there's a reason for that, and it's not just because white is a good colour to use in space for reflecting excess heat. It's a spectacular game, people ... let's add more spectacle! A white ship, with those red radiators and purple patches and black borders, I think that would look really smart ...

I personally prefer the Halo universe's UNSC designs for purebred military ships.

Thanks guys .

Here's an alternative version with the turret, not-so-dark painjob & purplish colour patches (the originals were blue, the purplish tint must come from reddish system sun):

Sorry bout the response lag, was afk for a few days whilst traveling with family for Thanksgiving.

That is perfect, good sir. I would greatly appreciate being able to work with it, and will also be adding a slightly better ship with the same outer design with your choice of ship's name.

Now to figure out a dockable HQ capital ship... Thinking on modifying a Behemoth.
