I don't think he intended it as an insult. :P

Great work, she looks tons better and those nacelles could honestly fit now!

Another update for you guys. Top phasers are done. Added forward & top cannons (not sure what they'll really be, though... either micro quantum launchers or pulse phaser batteries...)

MANY thanks to cpthooker for his help with the phaser strip tutorial. It was amazing. Thanks again!

I'll probably start on the new warp nacelles later tonight, once the phasers are out of my hair. In the mean time, here's some pics of what I did this afternoon... Girr... these smoothing issues are starting to drive me up the wall. :/

To quote Zephram Cochrane... "SWEET JESUS!"

And I thought the ship I drew up was over-powered...looks great Aeries!!  New age Achilles!!!

Well i dont like the forward and top cannons at all, it just doesn't go with the ship design.

top pulse weapons?
strange feeling, similar to the sideward torps of the akira.
but she looks sooo sweet.
one of the most, if not the most nterestng concepts around here

the top weapon hardpoints are based on the achilles "phalanx" system, although i do somewhat agree that the weapon ports dont quite match the rest of the ship. perhaps recess them into the hull about half way

Hmmm.....well, and this is just me throwing something out...make them come out from the hull a little and shape them somewhat like windows.  I mean, who would expect a porthole to suddenly throw out a quantum torpedo?

@ Shadowknight:

The Mithra won't really be overpowered. I plan to have her balanced like, as you pointed out, an Achilles, only a 25th century variant. I'll admit, she'll be very powerful, though hardly god-like. such is my plan, anyways. Uhm.. oh, and I took your idea to heart I think it worked out alright...

@ Technerd:

Bang-on with that interpretation, regarding the phalanx system. Even though, I admit, I've never heard the word before. xD

@ DJ Curtis:

Thanks a tonn. I'll PM you once I think she's good to go. There's still plenty of cleaning and smoothing to do, but I'm workin' at it, one bit at a time.



OOOOOKAY!!!
So, here we have a *little* update. There's a new shuttle bay, and I've tweaked the top launcher... things... so they're shorter; standing out less. They're also a different shape; more like horizontal windows, as per Shadowknight's suggestion. I think it worked out okay... :]

I've shortened the forward cannon launcher... things... at the front, too, but you can't really notice it much at the moment. I'll keep working on those. I also tried out the before-mentioned warp nacelles that I sketched, but they looked absolutely HIDEOUS on the Mithra. So I promptly put the old ones back. Like, they'd look cool on, say, an alien ship. But on the Mithra? These nacelles work fine.... though i wouldn't mind adding a few touch-ups, to make them flow a bit better with the rest of the ship. Eh... we'll just have to wait and see.

Couple pics for you all... thanks so much for the C&C so far, I love the input.
