Have a WIP. Got stuck.

So:

Something wrong with this picture?

Maybe the lack of a bow?

I haven't been able to find a way of closing up that gap in a satisfactory fashion.

Here's the closest I've gotten:

I'm going for a sort of cross between

and

which is why the dome isn't really acceptable to me.

Anyone got any ideas?

Actually that dome looks pretty close to the nose design of the Taiidan destroyer. I think maybe you should just swap out some of those slope pieces for different parts. You're going in the right direction, just keep swapping out pieces until you find a combination you like.

Either that, or a giant missile. Nothing some missile drone can't solve.

When in doubt, add moar dakka.

So, a starship version of this, basically?

Or a more over the top one of these?

Yeah, I think I can manage. There's at least four places where another full-size turret can go, and maybe half a dozen where a smaller weapon or missile rack could be placed.

Only as a variant, mind. This kind of thing is fun to do once in a while, but I wouldn't want to do it full time.
