Thing is that most ICC ships are already BSG-ish. Long hull and two nacelles. Plus that grey hull texture.

The way the current shape is setup, those types of general ICC arches won't work, however, they could work if you specifically tailored the arch design to flow with the ship.
My suggestion on duplicating the bottom arch to act as the connector for the nacelles still stands, and it could incorperate nicely into the ship.

The mesh on the undercarriage seems to be overly complex now. So I'm gonna cut down one of the ribs, that leaves some room to do work above.

Nice, looking a lot better now then the original block of doom you had . Feels more ICCish, trying to think of what other design elements you could go for that would improve the style.
Sort of want to do something with the nacelles, maybe move them further down, but then it would be too bsgish, hmm. Well, get to texturing kenny, model seems to be good to go.

Mmm, looking pretty good, I think. Still quite heavy-looking in comparison to other ICC ships, but I like the overall shape.

maybe it could be a new class - titan or juggernaut or something. to balance the station issue thing, i think it was suggested there. make station immobile, and if anyone still want something heavy to "pwn", get one of these...with movement of current stations ofcourse with limit, so there wont be any spammings..

Will make some final adjustments then send the model over your way. Prolly in the next few days though. Work and RL matter, heh. I haven't played the game for abt a week now

I rather liked the original look. Bulky, yes, but nicely done with the archetypical ICC hull layout, especially the outrigging. Brings to mind a converted freighter, possibly for use as the Command Carrier.

I feel like if something came out of here and ended up closer to the tail it would go a long way in making the ship a lot more ICC'ish.

I gotta say, the best part about all this to me is the Bridge....Ive been tired of seeing an out of place bridge for a 1.4km dreadnought....also the engines, also when your done with this can you make a Missile dread varient to make the selections more varried?
