Maybe we should brainstorm for it? Which concept could be best:
1. "Legionaire" - Big armored shield on top and huge energy weapon in one end through, maybe with other arc. Big engines, smaller particle beams and other weapons under shield.
2. "Battle Hedgehog" - structure like first tanks, with fixed beams out to every direction.
3. "guntowers" battleship - use my old rendering, you see what I mean. Most radical departure from current ships, I think. Particle beams in armored towers around heavy looking ship.
Okay, all were "wingless", but because map size limits we probably must more think of "dense" ships - two or three floors, partially open area inside. Wings are for small fighers, big ships like battleships are more for firepower and slaving humanity.
