Do you love how Battlecruiser looks?

[Wankey]

I don't like the new battle cruiser's attack. It should fire volleys. I've never seen a battlecruiser fire its guns one at a time, it doesn't make sense from a gunnery point of view.

I think the Hyperion from the main menu looks awesome, they should just downres that and use it.

Where'd the hell did you find that!??!!??!?

I cant put my finger on it, but there has been a definite improvement since the multi upgrade "blow up toy" version BC of some months back. The one Triceron posted is pretty sweet, but almost looks like a "Borg" BC or something

Um....

Here and Here.....

I've had the first one as my desktop background for awhile now.....

How is this new info? They can't use it anyways. The Hyperion is a different class than the new battle cruiser being constructed for the Dominion.

Im glad that they fixed the attachment on the wings now though.

I'm actually not a fan of the new Battlecruiser, either in-game or pre-rendered cinematic versions. The original was much more iconic because, I think, it was comparatively simple in design. In the cinematics, the neck of the thing was broken up into discernible sections, and the fore was much smoother and less cluttered. The in-game render in SC2 reminds me too much of the bulkiness and unwieldiness of the Thor.

I think the parts that are bothering me are the conning tower over the engines, and the giant assembly surrounding this gaping hole that represents the yamato cannon. I think it could use some a re-touch to unify the assembly of elements.


That said... the picture Triceron showed is an absolute, sexy beast of a machine. It reminds me too much of a vessel from The Matrix because of the profusion of conduits and small parts, along with the all the black and gun metal grey... but it's sexy nonetheless. I salivated over that for about two minutes straight.

The Hyperion is special however. It could be either heavily modified or upgraded. If the Terran government can build something like Coruscant in four years from a desert planet, than a rebel group which might have support can definitely upgrade a ship drastically in four years. They might bring back old Behemoth classes in the game.

That's what I was thinking. It possesses a cobbled-together feel to it, which would be suitable for the Hyperion.

It's the Hyperion from the main menu of the SC2 login screen.
