Woah, haven't seen the ship on the lower left before. I have to say, it's... pretty sexcellent on all fronts. Very agreeable shape.
The only thing that bugs me about it is the series of square sections on the nose. Sticks out a little bit, IMO.
The little fighters look zippy and great; reminds me of Cylon fighters a little bit. And of course, the big one is majestic.

To quote ronald mcdonald: "I'm lovin it"
Keep up the good work.
Can't say I recognize the lower one, but it looks cool.
Love the glow effects you've put on both ships

Definitely cool. Just a nerdy fan note that you can ignore, the Viator Tempesta(I think) has a weird arced nose. Basically the middle line would be higher than the sections to its left and right. Up to you though, I think it looks spiffy as is. I wonder how a Seraphim carrier would turn out
I think its a star destroyer looking thing but can't find a good shot. Oh well, keep it up!

Dude... how do you have the patience to make such large ships? I mean I get usually get bored with my usual "battleship" sized ship.
Anyway, I'm glad that you are going over some of your anchient creations (yes I've seen them) with the new style. These are awesome especially in the way you used the shiny sections to create a realistic look to these designs. My overall favorite is the middle-sized ship just because the shape is pleasing in its own way. Again, your skill astounds me.

Practiiice! And sometimes it's just fun, piecing something together. I usually do something else at the same time to prevent myself from getting bored with it. Anyway, I'm glad every likes the ships, because I've got something for you!
What's this? What could it be? OMG, it's a download!
Full ship shot.
Picture taken with the upper wing on the right side removed, revealing the weapon systems beneath.
Ship Class: "Courageous Lance" class Light Attack Cruiser (LMC-IV)
Length: 685 meters
Beam: 362 meters
Draft: 220 meters
Mass: Roughly 31,500,000 kilograms.
Crew Manifest: 1032 (Including slipfighter pilots and marines)
Armament:
14x ELS (Electro-Magnetic Launch System) Missile Tubes loaded with OM-5 Standard Offensive Kinetic Kill Missiles
4x ELS (Electro-Magnetic Launch System) Missile Tubes loaded with PM-6 Star Arrow smart anti-ship missiles
8x 35Mw PDL turrets
2x 50Mw PDL turrets
4x Anti-Proton Cannons
2x Slipfighter Launch Bays
Propulsion Systems:
1x Magnetoplasma Dynamic Drive (Arcjet Drive)
1x "Slipstream"-type FTL Tunnel Drive
History: A mainstay of the High Guard Fleet, the "Courageous Lance" class LMC-IV has seen front line actions in over 30 systems. Armed with the most powerful weapons systems available, the firepower disparity between one of these vessels and most other ships of the same size in other military forces is not a thing to be underestimated. Essentially a smaller version of the Glorious Heritage class Heavy Cruiser, it serves an all-purpose role in combat missions, acting as a troop transport, a fighter carrier, a longer range missile ship and an attack vessel all in one.

I can live with that.
I may update the download to make the ships more accurately balanced to each other (and maybe toned the fuck down so they don't spew game-lagging amounts of firepower) eventually. I'm gonna work on arming/balancing the smaller ship now and will probably have a download for that up in a few hours.

I like them but I'm not entirely sure I'm a fan of the blue-gray color you used for most of the hull, I just now realized this.

I love the look of the weapons and the way you've distributed them. I'm trying to clean some malware off my computer right now but I should be able to run it later on tonight. And I actually enjoy the massive amounts of firepower, so long as their proportional to ship hp and such. One of my lesser gripes with the show was the amount of firepower Andromeda supposedly had, then they go to battle and launch like five missiles. Cheap bastards in effects
As for color I think its pretty decent, but the show was rather inconsistent about the actual hull shade.

Sometimes for the longer range fights it would sometimes show it launching pretty large volleys of missiles.
Right now this thing fires, uh... 116 missiles a second, roughly. Just missiles. That's not counting the AP Cannons and shit. It lags things up very quickly.
Which is why I'm thinking I need to tone it down... just a bit. As it is, I think there's a bit of a disparity between its weapon power and defenses. Right now, I believe in a 1v1 against itself, once they start firing missiles at each other, both are pretty much guaranteed to die.

hey Anna, some of us need this thing called sleep now and again
but nonetheless, it looks good. i like the small modifications you're made to the hull as well, although i still think it could perhaps do with a bit more contrast on the depth shading
