What exactly are you asking? You can see where these things are pretty much by just firing the weapon...

the CL1K on the AC is on the nose cap, the cl500's are on the larger dorsal and ventral fins... the bridge is a armored self contained unit deep inside teh cruiser, that tower is for communications

oh and on the UGTO scout the bridge is the little row of lights below the Grey cap on the upper nose cap, and the laser is halfway along the spine of the ship

it would take way to much time to put each individual weapon sticking out from the ship. if you want that play freelancer . im not worried about not being able to see my guns on the ship. just knowing they work is good enough

Official info:

The "towers" on ICC ships are not their bridges. The towers are actually where the communications and some sensor equipment is located. ICC tech is a wee bit behind UGTO tech, so they can't internalize these systems as effectivly...yet. UGTO intel reports that the ICC has made some recent breakthroughs in hull design which will allow them to circumvent this issue.


At any rate, bridges on any starship are fully internal in the hull, well buried and protected. They do not have windows to the bridge, as it is far too vital a location to be that exposed to damage. The exception to this rule exists in ships that are intended to perform planetary surface landings. These ships include Scouts, Frigates, and Transports. Since these ships are intended to fly through atmospheres, and land on planets, visual navigation systems (windows) are required in case all other systems fail.

Recently I came up with the dimensions of the ICC AC and AD for use in a RP. I have no idea if this is really how big they are or anything, these just seemed sensible and fairly impressive numbers.

ICC Assualt Cruiser
Length: 620 meters
Beam: 260 meters
Height (not counting antenna): 175 meters

ICC Assualt Dreadnaught:
Length: 1200 meters
Beam: 600 meters
Height: 250 meters

1200 meters seemed more reasonable than the 3K I've heard for the ICC missle dreadnaught.

While we are currently under orders to not give out specific info on ship sizes, I will tell you this:

The models are scaled correctly for their sizes in Max, so I can see their precise dimentions in meters. This is for ligting to work right in renderings.

Skeelz is very very close to being exactly accurate.
