Commissioned: Nebulae Class Medium Cruiser

Another of 's great ideas.

I had a struggle with this because I wanted to convey a medium looking hull but with the stylings of the Alliance. I also wanted it to again look like form, fit and function. It was the adding of weapons that made her look more credible and realised I had a good design on my hands.

commented well on this "a shark in the stars" and yeah! The strange pattern is an improvement of the pigmets used on other ships.

Comments welcome and please check out 's page. He is a talent

Enjoy!
