That's the angle of the picture. If you place the ship at the same angle it looks the same. That, and if the laser dish is made bigger, you'll end up with a star destroyer that's shorter than 1KM, which'd look stupid imo.
It just seems to me that a laser with the power to destroy a planet would tear apart the little Star Destroyer it is housed in... So is it toned down in some way?
You could still make it a one-shot cap killer but decrease its speed/maneuverability and its regular amount of weaponry (on account of siphoning all the extra power for the laser).
That way it is basically a cheaper alternative to a SSD (but still expensive cuz superlaser) but it requires protection to keep it alive. That's a good niche for it right?
That would be best possible solution. When it fires is severely slows down, shoots less, and maybe looses it's shields.
It would also give a tactical difficulty, because you'd have to think. You can use the super laser to destroy a capital ship, but if you do, your own will be at very risk for a shot amount of time, and all it takes is one proton torpedo in the shield generator, or super laser, and it becomes pretty useless, so I believe that if it'd be able to destoy 1 capital ship, every... 40-60 seconds for example it would be a powerful vessel, yes, but considering all the drawbacks after firing, and how easy it would be to destroy it after shooting, it wouldn't be overpowered at all in my opinion. Shame it looks so short though... Maybe make it little wider, so you can extend it to the front?
Godforsaken quasar carrier. Trust me, you'll hate that. Also, the 2 extra x wing squadrons on the mc 80 really make a difference. Not to mention the Nebula prototype that can disable any capital ship for a few seconds. Which in the middle of a battle, is an eternity.
And the consortium...well, gatling massdrivers, hadron cannons, lucrehulk battleships, I think they'll be fine ;)
Not criticizing, just pointing out, the desc on the mod says its supposed to be the original FOC experience just with a few new units to keep it interesting. You have added SO much new stuff lol.
As for this ship, its a weirdly interesting design, would be cool to have a video of it firing at some point
Yeah it went from a small expantion to a full overhaul. BUT I still aim to have the same experience, just a LOT better. Better graphics, more fun to play with units, and a bit more variation.
And Zann though he had the big gun...
LOL indeed.
Shouldn't the Conqueror's super laser be a big bigger and the gap a bit wider?
It's just cause this photo sorta makes it cool bigger.

Nonetheless it looks really great.

Ah alright yeah i guess that's sounds right, thanks for the info.
Should I ask how powerful that thing is?

Haven't thought about that yet, but it definitly wont be able to do that. Or blow up a capital in one shot. That'd be rediculously OP.
Wouldn't that depend on how quickly it was available to fire again?
Well, and it'd basically be useless if the opponent came to the fight with a bunch of smaller, faster ships.

Hmm...Now I wonder if it's possible to have the other weapons stop or severely slow down firing for a few seconds after you fire the main gun.

Obliviously it can't destroy a entire planet or they wouldn't be firing it so close to the ground in the picture jedi clone posted.
Something tells me even if it could take out a planet, they'd fire within the atmosphere anyways.
To put it charitably, the Empire has a poor safety record...
*cough* ..Alderaan.. *cough*
Mmmm.
Regardless of the physics involved in their operational capacity, these models are wonderful, Geroenimo.
The rebels continue to.look.more under powered with eqch update lol

Hold up! Did you say Gatling massdrivers?
Gatling..
Massdrivers..
GATLING
Oh god! It's the Conqueror. Fanatstaic ship

Hmm... Looks like i missing a lot from Rebellion era of EU... Where did this come from? Some comics?
Do you have any intentions to add the Silencer Superlaser to the ORAW mod in this case?
Obviously, someone here likes the empire very much :D
These are actually commissions, I didn't originally intent to make this ship ;)
awesome ship!
looks somehow like a female ship to me :P
Oooooooohh
