Romulan... Interceptor?

[BorgMan]

Did some sketchings, and a bit off fiddling later this is where I'm at now.



We'll see where this goes. I also had a thought that the forward wings might house intelligence equipment, making this more akin to an AWACS bird than an interceptor. At 6 decks high she isn't very big, but higher than a Bird-of-Prey and she's wider too, plus that the larger wings are high enough to allow for a complete deck inside of them, not just crawlspace.

Interesting shape, almost yacht like, luxury spaceboat for the Romulans.

Excellent, excellent...I love this project. For the Imperium!

Sweet design so far

I've often wondered if a Warbird could carry a smaller ship between its upper-and lower halves.

Two of these might fit to either side of the prow.

Beautiful! I agree that it looks like a yatch, it would fit in nicely on Naboo.

Hmm... If you'd see the Warbird's wings as one side of a U, the tail section could nestle inside of that one and break away... Let me experiment with that!

Smallish update!

Looks good. When I read "interceptor", I thought it might be a fighter, but this I like also. That is a question in actual Navies. Is it better to have a smaller number of very large platforms, or larger number of smaller attack ships. The former are more individually multi-mission capable, the latter present more targets for the enemy to have to hit and it's a smaller loss if one of them is taken out.

She is a transmission interception

Seriously, good design. I like the split pylons and very plane style look. Really good stuff.
