Non Coalition Carrier

A companion ship to the non-Coalition one, done in the same colouring and style. This one is a carrier, with a through-deck hangar arrangement. That's something I've always wanted to incorporate into a ship, and I love how it came out. The fighters you can see are Coalition designs, which I put there just because they're the only fighters I have. Not sure if they are to scale, because I don't really know how big the ship is!

I reused a lot of elements from the other design - sensors, comm gear, weapons, engines, M/AM magazine, etc.

I also threw an English language name onto the hull. There are Human planets that aren't in the Coalition, so I guess this must come from one of them!

I'd be interested to see if there's any interference between the propulsion systems at the stern and inbound fighters.

Propulsor drives (which these are) aren't actually any kind of "rocket" derivative; those glowy things at the back aren't exhausts generating thrust, but thermal radiators dumping heat and other energies overboard. So it's pretty safe to fly behind them.
