Wow, these new tetures gives it just the right "socialistic" punch....

I too have grown to like it, just throw in some sort of arm to hang it out, call it a cooling array or some nonsense

"intercooler"

ozy, it fires bullets from the guns, long range interception missiles from the tubes (i'll probably have to make a reloading mechanism too) and the packs on top are fitted with short range cluster missiles.

awsome detail steve, what is the poly count of this beast, and how long does it take to render the whole thing..

[Ozylot]

A thought on the reload system for the longrange missle tubes:

They use it on modern destroyers, the turret would return to a default position and aim straight up, and the replacement missles would be lifted straight up out of the deck into the waiting tubes from small recessed holes in the deck.

Just an idea...
