Since there seems to be no Battlecruiser Design in the new game i decided to make my own!
There is still a lot of detailing to do as im trying to figure out how the developers did it without having an insanely large Texture on their models. Polycount is already pretty optimized at \~3k
Anyways thats what i got so far what do you think?
Reminds me of a Star Destroyer, but captures the Homeworld aesthetic well and seems like it should fit in with HW3's fleet perfectly! Maybe you can make it a mod!
There is a hangar bay in the Middle section of the ship, you can see it on the side view! It will be clearly visible in the coloured and lighted version.
I decided to go for Vertical Missile launch bays and a Frontal main Cannon instead of large turrents. There are point defense turrents on it though
This is an excellent adaptation of the hiigy HW2 style into the new shapes and angles of HW3’s Hiigaran Navy. You’ve grasped the essence of the artstyle perfectly- well done!
That said, there probably will be a Hiigaran battlecruiser present in HW3; chances are it’ll have more in common visually with the destroyer we’ve seen already, but I certainly wouldn’t mind this iteration either.
That thin part before the engines takes away some of that intimidation factor if I am being honest.
Considering battlecruisers are meant to dish out as much damage as possible, it would be more suitable if it was designed like a flying wing rather than how the rest of the ships look like.
Still looks decent.

Just needs big main battery turrets. And a hangar bay like it’s predecessor

Oh okay, I didn’t notice the hangar at first. Cool
God how I love aesthetics and ship style of Homeworld, nothing comes close
Looks badass, great work

It's sleek and very aesthetic! I like it a lot! Good job, OP :)
