I like to introduce, the ICC Cruiser (Icuras). Reason for the name Icuras, you guys kept refering this to almost exactly like Daedalus from Stargate Atlantis.
This is the final version. Moved to front page for better view for new people to this thread.
You can download it here.

Icuras is a character in Greek mythology. He is the son of Daedalus and is commonly known for his attempt to escape Crete by flight, which ended in a fall to his death. [ This Message was edited by: Alanstar on 2010-06-07 19:56 ]

The 3 "cannon mount" placments could be were the mining beams come from
On a serious note though, some nice modles that you have produced so far

I agree, it looks more like a UGTO ship than an ICC Ship.

If you guys want it to be an Uggie ship, then so shall it be. Going to get it skinned as Uggie and then as an ICC. To see the differences.

A ICC Ship without Shield = doomed to fail
It doesn't matter howfast it can fly or how much weapons it got, if it's made out of wet paper, its 100% doomed to fail.

Well, with it's superior power generation, and defense mode on the way...
If this ship could use defense mode mid-combat, it'd make an interesting tactical choice. Built for long term engagement (can out-run anything capable of hurting it, and heal quickly) but be weak against alphas at close range.
Get rid of the torps, make it default to pulse lasers, maybe a few more railguns/fighters/missiles....I could see this ship being an alternative to a HC harassing an enemy fleet in enemy territory.

For an assault ship, it sure has a lot of missiles and lacks beams necessary from cqc.
Seems more like a seige ship, one for medium/kinda long range.

Bring the hangar bays back and towards the center.

I hate to break it to you, but this kind of a ship is more then likely never going to happen. a cruiser has three engines not because they dont want to, but because they dont have the ROOM for more.
One active shield? cruiser level of defence? drops in a few seconds of fire. one aux gen, wont stop more then two or three cannons
Four shields are usually manditory for ALL icc ships, i dont think a single icc ship has less then four primary shields, armor varries.
The armament is lacking shockingly, however the defenses would have the ship being hulled constantly. defense mode on 100% of the time or not
Good model, dosent fit the icc. take a look at icc cruisers and then build ships.. also, it looks allmost indentical to a stargate terran ship, both in hanger plancemet and overall style.

Edit: a little note, a primary engine (ie drive) costs 9 points, a core weapon costs 6... armor if i remember is a good 10 (based on arcs)

Looks more like something that could replace the Command Carrier.

Did you take this ship concept from stargate? Looks similar to the daedalus and odyessy class ships in the series. Looks good though btw!
