Oh, so that is what that was! I thought that the thickened stern was for extra flank armor. I like this instead of that. Now I know that the Victory was a ‘Guided Missile Cruiser’, like the USN’s Ticonderoga Class.

Wonderful work! Have you already got a missile model? It would be great to see it being launched

Weren’t these supposed to be wings, not silos? I remember reading somewhere that they were for when entering atmospheres to assist in lift / navigation (I know that sounds absurd if you have anti grav). I hope I’m wrong because having a huge battery of missiles on the broadside would be awesome to think of!
Thanks for not being offended. Your work is absolutely amazing. I do love the thought of an anime style salvo of missiles just pouring out of both sides of the ship towards a target!
That makes sense to me. The best location for a targeting array is as close to the emplacement as possible. Although those antenna types are best for receiving or broad-band transmitting, not for the type of activity that targeting radars are best for.

*VSD opens panels to reveal all those missile launchers* Surprise, muthafucka…

It does sound absurd. The shape isn’t an airfoil. At best they would have repulsorlift inside.

So, what are those needle-like things? That’s what is bugging me….
Missile control antennae.

O-oh.
Oh.
I like the way the lower offset is different than the upper along the leading edge.
Personally that’s killing me. But to each their own.
