Ah, I see . . lemme think
In my mod i use the tractor beam graphics as power conduits . . so in this case the order reactors are feeding energy into the Central Hull - To finish it off you have a huge turret in between where the energy beams meet.
Gone to get one of the MOAT turrets - BRB 
Pure awesomeness! i have been thinking too about how to add “effects” to ships and i have one idea. how about making a engine effect shaped like tubes or something, to make the effect of fuel pipes. they light up when the ship moves!
have anyone tried this before?
EDIT: im starting with the BIG turret now 
darn it!
it seems like everytime i have an idea, someone else have already done it!
Nuthing saying that you cant do it as well 
All i am saying is that it works well
This is what i was thinking for this ship
The large turret (aka MOAT) is from the Union mod which Cen2050 and I are working on
(it dosen’t quite match this ship - but it demonstrates what i was thinkin)
As you can see the tractor beams make very nice power conduits
In regards to your large turrets, its a good start, but i would remove the beam weapons that are on the back
okay. so then you wont mind if i would “borrow” turrets from union and turn them to fit my evil plans?
The mod has yet to be released - Its up to version 0.8 at the moment.
While i did created the turret graphics, i made them for Cen2050 for his Union Mod - So you would have to ask him for permission.
If you want i can create a custom turret for this ship ?
::Edit:: Just added in the reactor glows and have created its own large turret
I should have asked - Did you want a (Beam / Bullet / Missile) Large Turret ?
that sounds fantastic! thank you!
EDIT: i edited the Bulk Cruiser to have more gunz in the front. see, i do litsen

should i remove the two big rebel hardpoints at the rear or keep em?
One option is the Double Barrel Cannon.
There is a drawback to this weapon as you need a custom Bullet to complete the effect.
Whereas with beam weapon we can specify which graphics to use
i like custom effects
if its okay ill use the bullet .dds from unity vs union.
otherwise ill make my own 
EDIT: i want a bullet type. i have a really awesome sound effect for it 
Yeah i don’t mind if you use the Bullet Graphics from the Unity Mod
Can I assume that you want to use this ship - if so, whats it name ?
If you don’t want to use it, dont worry . . Unity can have a new toy to play with 
anyone of these:
redeemer
vanguard
valiant
Hmmm . . Big Ship with Big Cannon.
Vanguard ?
shure…
but when i look at it it just says redeemer to me… but hey, your ship your choice
Pffft - its your mod !
Redeemer it is . .
i have to go for about 1 - 2 hours.
ill be bak!
Is that a threat or a promise. . ?
Ok, lets see what i can do in 2 hours . .
im bak!
how have you been doing? 
Just adding the finishing touches and writing up some instructions
