Default Neo-Icaran shipset (in the works)

Well the Neo-Icaran shipset is a redo on my Imperial Icaran and then Rebel Icaran shipsets, the pre-battlecruiser hulls are proving very challenging but I did get a completed battlecruiser model finished.

Please tell me what you think

Too dark. It blends into the background too well. Could be easy to not notice such a ship in game.

Well the ship's hull is supposed to look squareish though I may edit some of that out, though it is supposed to be remeniscant of a wet navy warship.

The backend though is an engine pod so it has to be square

I like the black and red, but its a bit featureless. Don't get me wrong its a nice design and it defenitely looks wet navy, just a bit light on bits other than guns. A couple of radars/sensor gride, maybe a bigger bridge and a couple of light guns on the top side (PD maybe?) something like that.

Still I wouldn't mind a couple of those in my fleet, nothing like a giant turret o' doom swivelling round to scare someone

Dude... it looks like a COMC more than a battlecruiser! Looks excellent! Tho, you could add a few very big guns on top - look at some pics of the KMS Bismarck for inspiration. Make it look like you could stuff an Escort or two up the barrels.

Also, you could adorn it with symbols - like the Bismarck had two massive swastika's on its front and aft decks, you could maybe place the Neo-Icaran emblem on the front and aft. Could also add more symbols, perhaps not with that much meaning at all, but just for aesthetic interests. You could also add a serial number up front - like NI-BC-T5-23 or something shorter (translation: Neo-Icaran Battlecruiser Type-3 Number 23). Really think you should add that, especially if you're going for the wet navy look.

COMC? Sorry I'm not familiar with that term?

Hmm I never considered placing the Icaran Imperial symbol on her before, but I suppose that's a great idea there, same with the registry number.

Oh and they are just a retouch of the Imperial Navy it's the same old Icaran Empire, I just figured the title would sound better then just "Hey look I remade the Icarans" lol.

Command Cruiser. 20MT ship. The second largest ship of the Capship Mod.

Oh, and I'm sorry, but I believe I've heard of the Icarans before, but I never saw them. I'm just making suggestions based - mainly - on the Bismarck, Empire Earth and Dicovery Channel.
