Looking great DTM. Off topic, do you have plans someday to make that huge new era Viscount Calamari Cruiser as seen in the YouTube video "Battle of the Dreadnaughts" where it takes on the Eclipse SuperStar Destroyer ? :-)

No. I'm not planning to make the Viscount or something similar for the Rebellion/New Republic.

Sorry, but I don't understand why the Rebels or the New Republic have to build such big ships. Size matters to the Empire and the First Order, because their policy is based on intimidation. But the rebels should only build fast and efficient ships. No technological monster. I think the MC-85 has reached the maximum size justifiable for the use that the New Republic and the Resistance must make of it.

The Rebels have shown that a small single-seat starfighter can evade the defenses of the Death Star, and destroy it with a single blow. David against Goliath. This is the strategy that rewards rebellion against imperial intimidation. I think the Rebels would never build such a large spaceship, not even to run the risk of becoming what they are fighting against.

No worries. I'll add the Viscount on my future long-term to do list. :-) But at least a couple of years away before I can even start on it. Too many projects on my list a/t/m.

According to The Essential Guide to Warfare there is also a 3,000 meters battlecruiser prototype of the Viscount-class Star Defender.
Perhaps that would be a size more suitable to the Alliance.

I think your Viscount is in my semi-completed "To-Do" list Warbie.

DTM that looks Awesome!!! As I type this I am watching 'The Last Jedi' have to admit my least favorite (so far..) of the films But I do love this ship, I know there is a limit to the game engine I do love one thing about this movie.. the special effect of the blast lasers hitting the Raddus which is enveloped in a shields just love that. Too bad we can't have a Hook for that. Just wishful thinking…. ;)

Sincerely, Rogue518

Oh, apparently I'm working on the Mediator class. I'm still sorting out where all the engines go. I'll do the Viscount eventually.
