I agree, not only would that look more awesome, it would also make more sense. Anyway, the shape of the ship is nice, but you should probably cut down on the repetition (especially in the front where it's flat). Also, it looks a little spindly to me, but other than those things, well done, and I look forward to the rest of this ship (I'm assuming it's not finished yet).

@droid - Good idea I'll try that when I'm not stuck on the Wii
*EDIT* I just remembered that each tooth is embedded into the barrel, I'm trying to imagine how that would look. :?

@Bad Boy - I may or may not add on to it, if I do then I'm redesigning the back.

@both Magnets don't have to glow. :P (but they are cooler when they do)

This is what it looks like with aegised teeth (Not sure about it really. :? ) :

Old version:

If I make the railgun version then I'll also make a beam version.(I don't want to throw out the old design.)

***UBER UPDATE***

Due to lack of inspiration I've put the CNS fleet on hold and worked on another fleet.

(I will continue CNS at a later date)

The new fleet is very nice. In my opinion, much better than the CNS.

Thanks! :D

I made the first (The Sonora) while I was bored one night and then built off it to make the large ships. After that came the Agave and Aloe.
These are my first outlined ships, so I hope I did it well.

P.S. You make nice ships.

I really like the new fleet, especially the Gobi. This fleet is a definate improvement over the other one. Less repetition definitely helps.

i really like the two new ships, they look like mobile weapon ships :)

with the rail gun version you can take a section and make it very thin but long and put it right between the teeth and connect it to the core and then aegis it to make it look like a barrel for the rail gun so it looks like its being shot through the barrel between the magnetic accelerator teeth

also it would help stop a lucky rail gun shot down the center of the teeth from one shot killing you as the core is not very well protected there ^^"

:lol: weird, I like the Mojove most. :P

as for the repitition, there's still quite abit but, you can't really tell.:P

**edit**
woah, grenville you seem to have ninja posted while I was typing.

I,m still working on the CSN but, I've put it on hold until further notice (or I get hit by gamma rays and gain Anna-like shipbuilding powerz. :P)

So any comments? suggestions? mind warping criticism?

Lot of people jumping on the bandwagon named "Freighter".

That's just 'cause freighters are cooler than capital ships.
:roll:
I just felt like making one, it's fun to make ships with no real weapons and it helps vary the ships in a fleet

Probably because it's the most obvious civilian-ish craft. I've got several more civilian craft planned for my fleet, such as passenger liners (think Queen Mary), construction vessels, colonization ships, etc.

Ablative usage makes it look bad. I'd ditch it and just increase HP.

What? The outlining? do you mean the whole fleet?

the entire reason I made this fleet was to use the outlining style if you're talking about the freighter than I'll redesign it
