Comments and Suggestions Please, questions also! :D

Comments... well lets see, nice pic of a B5 Hyperon Crusier, they are a well used ship type in NS, specs seem pretty standard and on the level for a ship of that type.

Only thing I'm wondering is how you house 8 fighters and two space shuttles on that ship, as a Hyperon design is only capable of holding six, three on either side on the connecting span between the main hull and the engine module. Unless there are two extra fighter bays and docking points for the Buran that I cannot see in the picture, or upgrades that aren't in the photo.

Otherwise nice job. :wink:

Thanks, indeed the fighter area is larger than normal to house them, and does a good job of preventing cramped space from becoming deadly.

The Length, Width, and Height is most likely wrong, so it will take time to reassess these figures from the Orpheus type Space Battleship and this.

Thank you, More Comments/Opinions/Questions please. :D
