Using the name (But a completely different design) from one of the fighters on my failed comic series, the Cobra Space Superiority Fighter.
Sports four Pulsar Beams, two Railguns modified for burst fire, and two swarm missile launchers.

I need to figure out how to keep them from stopping at random to fire...they do a fly-by pass, go again then stop.

thats a nice little fighter

the green ones look cool, stealth ship goodness ^^

I finished the Constitution class Assault Cruiser, honestly I have not once managed to be satisfied with this design...and I'm still not. I think it should just be scrapped. Or maybe if I can do something about the nose...suppose a closed nose would be better...

The rest of it looks pretty good to me, but the front of it is just pure fail to me.

hm...not sure. Could you make the nose closed but have each side angle back arrow head style->? Might look lame but would give it some good shielding since it sounds like it would be at the head of the fleet...

Ok, I tried this, and am somewhat content with it now.

The only thing now is that it's starting to look alien to me...
Shit...layering error...that'll be fixed though.
Should I leave the nose as it is or remove the other parts and make them really small? Or just take them out entirely?

In that case, I'll add some extra background to this ship's description, again based off of my storyline.

The information being that the Constitution was upgraded with Telvaran technology...an allied race of the Commonwealh, I may develop their fleet at some point...

Spoot, YOUR ships are amazing! And is the Curtana a Halo (Cortana) reference or a mythological (the swords Durandina, Curtana and Joyeuse) reference?

Real-life swords, the Shashka was a Cossack's sword and the Curtana was an English ceremonial sword.
However, I would like to see those swords you just mentioned.

The Constitution is now armed.

And on another random venture to randomness...

It appears that a scouting party ran into what we had hoped to never see: a Black Ops flagship, which uses the Constitution hull. It has firepower unlike any other of their ships, even though it lacks foward-firing beam cannons, it instead compensates for the massive missile swarms which overwhelm allied point defense...allowing its Railguns to take them out with ease...

"That was it...that was all it took...that Independence never stood a chance even though she retaliated aggressively...now I'll have to inform the spouses of what had taken place...they will be crushed...I already am..."
---Wing Commander Edison "Striker" Stricher, in an interview with the Intergalactic News Broadcast.

Nice Screen, though I'm not fond of the near Pitch Black Green you chose for the Main Color.

The Railguns, you used a dark color right? Like a really dark green?

It's a light green, but whichever graphics setting is turned off so it looks darker than it should.

There wasn't any other color that looked good with a dark hull.

From Wikipedia.
Curtana was also, according to legend, the sword of Ogier the Dane; it bore the inscription "My name is Curtana, of the same steel and temper as Joyeuse and Durendal."
And Spoot, I have to day it again, your ships are absolutely amazing!

Well, since I transferred BSF to my flash drive, I had the opportunity to plug it in and play it on my friend's brand new, ultra-fast vista PC. Prior to this, the biggest ship of yours that I could load without my PC freezing was the Independence class, but now I finally had the chance to see all of your ships in their true form. Heh, Inquisitor vs Inquisitor, whilst smaller ships skitter about, frigates firing off salvos of missiles, a cloud of my micro fighters added in for a few extra kicks... The result, Sheer Epic Win!

Of course, the FPS committed suicide when things started exploding, but it was worth it! Unfortunately, for some reason the screenshot button would not function on his keyboard
