This is a design of a ship that I've had in my head for some time. Began life as a sketch on paper, then translated into 3D.
Something sleek and fast looking. So I added in some distinct UGTO features into it.... such as the tail arc and hi-mount central engine port, as well as the 2 wing pods reminiscent of the current cruiser.
It's slightly organic in the way the "lifting wing" body is designed. But since it's kinda smooth skinned, I figured it might suit an Uggie cruiser.
*Updated* Improved head section
- Less "goosey" head
- slimmer more sleek engine pylon/wing

hmmm i think that that'd make a nice uggie frigate because currently they just look like a rip-off from star trek but that design keeps the UGTO style and looks streamlined and fast like a frigate should be not bloody stretched enterprise

reminds me of the whitestars in a way, just blockier and fugly 
its too wide across the engine half, and from the side view, it looks amazingly like a pryamid on its side with an egg attached, so id suggest making that skinnier, or at least scaling it back a lot

LOL. I was intending it to be a Kluth ship, with that wing section. It's basically a flattened and warped sphere.
Maybe I'll take the hoonam features off and make it Kluth instead.

Make the back skinnier and it should look ok.

This really looks UGTO. Its basicly the back of a battle dread with the side pods of a battle cruiser.
Edit: Oh yeah, and the front looks like a destroyer. Depending on how big you make it, i think this could be used for almost every UGTO ship class, except scout:p

Oh, and before a dev comes in and says it, you have to much polys.
Tough, i dont really have a clue how to fix that. Still, i hope someone will help you out on that, because i would defenitly like to see this one in game.

he already has the word about the polys. as you can see in his 3dmax shot, he is keeping them under 3K for a dread.

Yes, it certainly captures the underlying premise of the UGTO design style.

Some updates:
This ship is a bit hard to optimize mesh/poly wise as I used 2 spheres, stretched, squeezed, warped, and tapered all around. Too many curved areas.
- Flattened the wing profile somewhat to make it slimmer.
- lengthened the ship slightly
- Made the forehull section bigger overall so it doesn't look like a goose
- reduced the polys where I could.... not much.
Edged face view to see the complex curves
