Not sure about the name yet, or the size, but it should be a little larger then the Neghvar considering it has to have the room to carry and launch fighters and Brel scouts from the rear bay.

This ship has three launch areas....in the nose for the ship itself, shuttles and smaller support craft. This is also the recovery bay for launched fighters. Next, in the neck, is the launch bays for the fighters...there are also drop launch doors underneath. Finally, to the rear, is the squadron control bay, where heavy ships, including brel class scouts are launched and recovered, and repairs are made. There are movement halls that run the length of the ship, one each on each side.

Let me know what you think sofar.

Maybe you could move those nacelles a bit more forward, it looks much too unusual, but then again, this has to be a non-standard design...

like it but something about the nacells-maybe should be shorter and thinner-and the thing that sticks off the side of the nacells-maybe should be removed. Great as always!

It looks very "clunky," but I guess that's how it should be. It is a large carrier, after all.

There's something about the aft portion that just doesn't sit right with me, but I can't quite put my finger on it...I think I'm just tired.

The head section looks a bit wide to me. I think that if you're going to have it that much wider, you could have a hangar in the front too (a la Babylon 5 ships)

.... although there doesnt seem to be enough depth in that section for it. That could be the problem. If you look at it in the side view, it doesn't look bulky enough to have enough hangar space. Perhaps.

Yea, the bottom does look rather flat. Raven Night probably just hasn't modelled the ventral side yet.

I think it is all a matter of scale although i did think it lacked some depth. apart from that i cant fault this ship, awesome work again Raven.

He has a hangar in front, on the sides and in the rear.

Starforce. Instead of saying "it sucks" why not state what you think might look better??

That's what carriers are! Lots of belly and bulk, but not so much in the way of arms.

Yes, this ship is supposed to be flat and wide. It is not supposed to look sleek, as it is a carrier.

Look at the nacelles; almost totally like the Excelsior or Ent-A...

Other than that, looks cool.
