Greetings.

This is my first post here, so I hope you will not trash my idea fast.  Smile

Most of us, I suppose, tired of those bulky super-clued platform thing, which is called "Battery", it looks weird.

Considering latest Cruiser model, (God this one will be very cool, thx for that!) I have in mind simple, yet very effective way to deal with that battery, which will not require much of time to implement. I must warn you, I am not a modeler. So I have very simplified picture of my vision.Hiigaran Battlecruiser Idea (and Battleship) Hgnbattlecruiserpc1
This could be very similar to integrated hull weaponry to the Cruiser (Toprs) and it will feel like the next step of engineering and whole idea of ship design.

Hope I was useful in this small post.
Best regards.

Experience based weapons - torpedo/ion/emp plasma  batteries already exist in  the spots you suggest.

Thx. But in 8.5.1 there is that ugly battery (which is 4 bulky clued platforms), did you already removed it in 8.5.2?

The battleship, the batteries, the sweepers all are ugly. Once we have replacement models, we'll deal with the issue. There are more pressing matters, however.

Yeah, the texture is completely low quality in comparison to the BC.

I rather like the BC battery (even if it is a bit of a misnomer). The BB, less so.
Changing the BB would be a big task though.

Battery can be too easy target. Lets say YAY! for integrated systems Smile

That's a minor detail right now. Remember our resources are limited.

The bulky battery adds menace and presence to the BC and BB models. I don't agree with integrating them into the hull.
