Dominator fits the KDY naming pattern better than Dominion, though I like the latter better, personally.

Definitely have a hangar, but keep it small for say some shuttle craft and half the usual starfighter compliment.

Right, Dominator is the Interdictor modified ISD.

I rather like Overseer; the other names suggested are rather over-used (or at least the ideas), but Overseer is different. :)

No harm in a little sarcasm :) Jonathan_Antillies took it as a joke which it was intended to be :D<P>I have to agree with WarHawkster though, it does look like it only has a couple of hundred poly's, I can't see where you have just over 4400 poly's, only thing I can think of it that most of those poly's are on those guns!<p>[ 17 September 2006: Message edited by: Darksaber ]

I've wanted to see a more physical name than the general "dominator" or "oppressor" or "vengeance." How about "disintegrator" or "destructor?" Or if you want to go general, you could name it "Phoenix-class" since coming near the end of the Civil War, whoever produces it would want it to bring the Empire back to power like a Phoenix from the ashes (corny I know). I'm sure Phoenix has been overused on other craft though :(<BR>BTW I think any self-respecting capital ship needs to have its own starfighter compliment. Otherwise it would need a bunch of supporting vessels to haul around its defenses, and while it is normal for capital ships to be supported by a task force, I would think something so massive would be able to defend itself.<p>[ 18 September 2006: Message edited by: Leofus ]

I'm a little late for the naming of the ship but from the description and the picture it looks to me like a Allegiance class star destroyer. It would even make it semi-canon since it apears in the Dark empire comic.<P>follow the link at the technical commentaries for their description and some pics.<P><A HREF="http://www.theforce.net/swtc/dagger.html#allegiance" TARGET=_blank>alliange class star destroyer.</A>

actwilly didn't the alleggiance have more decks not to meantion twelve 8 barreled guns?<P>and i thought devistator had 8 gun turrets since it was a isd MK I (whitch we already have)<P>personaly i think that the lower polys might be really good. if you can bring out a lot of deatail threw textures.<P>if you havent made the hanger or bottom bubble for the reactor you could very well turn this into the tector class star destroyer<P>if you have all i can think of is prototype imperator class star destroyer
