The Bulwark MK3
Smaller than its predecessors but often assumed to be much larger in size due to its firepower, the Bulkwark MK3 was a behemoth of firepower. Often used for evacuation missions by the New Republic due to its ability to land on planet surfaces and it ventral armament of heavy turbolasers the Bulwark was a common site in many Republic fleets. 13 dual heavy turbolasers turrets, 4 flank dorsal hangers and a bow hanger gave the vessel tremendous firepower with the ability to launch 10 squadrons of fighters. Mon Cal tech gun blisters covered the sides housing even more medium and light turbos and ion weaponry.
A flying juggernaught, the ship was only plagued by its slow speed, making it a very large target if not properly defended by escorts.

Probably one of the most butchered ill-thought ships in the history of Star Wars, first developed by video game designers, and finally brought to cannonization by the authors of the New Jedi Orders series, the descriptions for this ship were ridiculous. It was described as being 2,500 m long. A Star Destroyer is only 1,600 m long! I swear some people have no concept of length....
For our mod, the Bulwark MK3 is about 700 m long, making it shorter than a MC80 cruiser.
Here is how it was described in the Vong Wars as seen landing on a planet and evacuating people.

I think it would be less ugly if it were consistent with the pic - having no gun blisters and those 4 flank dorsal hangers being more round instead of flat and rectangular.
but the hangers are prety flat and rectangular in the pic, they are as flat and rectangular as they can get in the stile they where drawn, but i agree about the gun blisters, while a good way to boost firepower they make the ship uglyer.
You're right, and it's better shown in this pic:
Images1.wikia.nocookie.net
I dunno, but imho the gun blisters are what I like the most about the model. They give the mostly flat hull some much needed texture and I think the MonCal touch is really nice.
The engine-wing-thingies bother me much more, but thats mostly because I don't like spaceships designs that look like a fish.
I'd really like to see the texture this thing is going to have though. And by the forgotten gods of Mandalore, please don't make it green like in the comic.
You can say that again, a secutor at 8KM in lenght while it has a venator bridge for size comparison...now that's just not right ;)
Starwars.wikia.com
2.2 km actually
You misunderstood, I know. I made the Secutor for the mod, but strobe decided he'd scale it up to 8KM ;)
Yeah I heard about that. Hope strobe changes his mind about the scaling before release.
I agree, the Venator bridge section needs to be smaller on that design if it's going to be scaled up and the Venator remains the same size.
Why not leave it battlecruiser size? There are few enough of them in Star Wars already and I tend to like the ones out there such as the Praetor.
the best emulation of what the Bulwark should be, you are doing fine
It's even more annoying because this was originally the Bulwark MK1 or MK2, whatever one, then The Essential Guide to Warfare changed it to MK3. But I guess it could also be both the MK2 and MK3. Either way I always liked the other Bulwark design, I got nothing against this model, just the ship, but I think the other design is Fanon.
You are saying that it landed on planets. Does this mean that it will participate in ground combat? Or will it just be a landing craft that shoots as it comes down?
I'd guess it won't be part of ground combat at all. Just because it does land on a planet in the comic doesn't mean it is going to do so in the mod.
Most warships are just too large to integrate into ground combat in the game. Some mods tried it, but usually it doesn't work well. Either the maps are way to small or the ships clip through everything, including the camera etc.

Not a fan of the design but I can admire the hard work gone with the model. Good work guys. :D
I like it.... It looks very Star Wars and plus it has EXTREME firepower on such a small frame!
