LOL wow that's great.

Can we brainstorm ways to improve the carrier model with these points in mind (while still keeping the spirit of the old carrier)?

That hole in the upper hull is too gaping, make it just a regular line (like it is as the bow). The 'bridge' looks like it's attached to the hull by just the loops, give it a more solid attachment.

GnaReffotsirk's new design is good, the Carrier looks sleek, but without being glitzy.

I did a crude photoshop and added windows; I think it helps to add some feeling of mass to the carrier/make it feel like an actual capital ship.

Can you add space curtains too? For when they are flying near suns and stuff.

I think it looks great. While I always hope Blizzard could do better, I'd be content with that shipping.

Ah, minus the windows. Nice effort, but a minor detail that honestly won't really be noticed.

hmm, well I personally thought it would help give it a sense of scale. windows on sci-fi capital ships are pretty common, as can be seen in star wars, star trek, and even the battlecruiser.

True, but they don't put windows on the battlecruiser model in-game.

Windows on a starship are counter-intuitive, they weaken the structure, let in radiation, and there's rarely anything good to look at. Besides, windows on a Protoss ship look out of place.

lol post that on bnet. People will flip out rejoicing that Blizz finally fixed the carrier

Heh, do it. I don't have a BNet account, but I'd love to see the reaction. :P

Tell that to the SC1 cinematics department.
