@ 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.
