Topic: The United Terran Core Worlds (updated)

(Note: Redesigned a bunch of the ships.)

Finally got around to getting back to work on my setting after another fairly long hiatus. So without further ado, the United Terran Core Worlds!

The ships are basically patterned off of older turreted wet navy ships. I haven't finalized them completely, will likely tweak as I make other ships for other powers...

The Laser armed ships represent an older class of ship, while ones with Railguns represent the newer construction. There's not a whole lot of variants, the UCTW is an inefficient and stagnant government (right now).

Hi,
These look great; very creative.
Your CR=531 BB compares well with my CR=550 BB 
  Cheers

Re: The United Terran Core Worlds (updated)

I really like the consistency between the different types of designs, and the tactical meta-environment it seems to set up.  Do you have any 'vision' for the miniatures and graphic or relative scale of engagements?  Some enemies for the Core Worlds?
