I'm glad you guys like the ship.  To be honest, it really doesn't take long to do a mesh like this.  Really just a few hours.  It's the texturing that takes time.

As far as borrowing textures from the Enterprise, believe me, I will.  But I'll still have to make 90% of it from scratch.

As far as name goes, I'm not sure about a Japanese name.  I'm not an anime fan so I never like the name Akira class to be honest.  But maybe.

Who said it had to be about Anime DJ, why not go for something historical, Hiroshima Class perhaps?  Or Tokyo.  Either way Japanese names aren't that bad :).

Katana-class would be a clich?, so not that. I do agree since it looks Akira-like it would be fitting if having a japanese shipname, but that's just me. ;) I'd either way strongly advise to not call it Kamikaze-class for errr, obvious reasons. :P

Some random japanese related class-names:

Shogun-class
Honshu-class
Tancho-class
Yamamoto-class
(Tsu)nami-class
Maijin-class
Bushido-class

well, considering that Kamikaze actually means divine wind, not suicide attack as some believe, I would leave that on the table.  Other than that there is the Kongo, Shokaku, Akagi or the Kaga,  additionally you could use the same style name as the Akira and pick a name from some anime

if you can believe it, this is actually the ship this new WIP is based on.  It was an old model I did probably 3-4 years ago or so.

Yes I know, but a majority of people don't and that'd leave a bad impression. ;) It's described as gods or their powers or such, had to do with Japan being what it is today?

I like the design DJ, you were pretty darn good even then. As everyone seems to be jumping on the band-wagon again with naming this ship, may I suggest that you call it Hermes Class as a tribute to your original design!!  :wink:

Heh, it's probably my fault, for saying the design reminded me of the Akira, and hoping that it would be a follow-on to that ship class.

Oddly enough, it seems as though a Japanese name fits it very well. She reminds me of a skilled warrior-poet, and Japan's feudal warrior class lends itself nicely to what I think the finished product will become.

no, you were right. it does fit as a heir of the Akira.

it's just too advanced for an inmediate successor, that's why I said CG's Katana should go first, despite it seems it won't.

How about this?
An additional serie (or group), such as the Delta series (but not part of, unless, of course, as a subgroup).

This time, a group of 3, the Katana, the wakizashi or sh?t? (I suggest the first one, since for the second there is no direct support in game :P) and the tanto.
Here, the Katana would be the heavy class, the wakizashi the medium class and the Tanto the light class.

Any chance you'll release that model for BC aswell? Along with your new WIP, it would look awesome in a small strike force.

Also, how about 'Sentinel Class'? You must be getting tired of hearing japanese type class names by now.
