Assyrians are Triangleist too btw.

Umm, this thing could take u a lot of time or only a few days -- this all depends on do u have the parts or not? One thing though... That thick floor construction could make it end up really heavy so watch out for that. The structure has to hold itself up so you don't want any more weight than you need. Mine is massive but it's not too heavy -- it's able to balance the whole of its weight on that small ventral fin. Base dimensions:

4x6 + 4x4 + 3x2

C&C is short hand for command and control, basically whats the drivers seat like, or planed to be.
oh and i was thinking along the lines of this swarming tactics still work only target first the antifighter cannons working on up the weapon types.

cool don't forget a secondary bridge, if your main one is knocked out you can still have control of the ship. usually this is placed either in the middle or somewhere near engineering. back ups are always good especially on ships.

thats true the main fighter bay on the HODGEPODGE has an opening only 4 studs wide thats where the cockpit design came from. well either wings roof or belly mounts are possible depending on the internal allowances. but if you do create a primary fighter carrier that would be cool since most of the ships brikwarriors have are mainly light fleet elements with little or no cargo capacity. heck i stripped out personel requirements to fit 2 more fighters.

It might take a while seeing as how big and detailed it is.

The Shapiro only took me about 10 hours to build but I still need to make some details.

I've WIPed together a small ship and some fighters, it should be able to fit four of the fighters I've made, but could probelly fit <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> of small fighters.

EDIT: using tat 4x6 fighter design i could fit tons in!
I've got to get makeing to find out just how many i can fit!
