Everest Class Alliance Dreadnought image - Dawn of the Reapers mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion
The reapers have returned from dark space. With Earth under attack and the mass relays in a state of chaos from refugees and the councils fleet engaging reaper forces the galaxy is a mess. The outcome is unknown, the warfare is devastating. The galaxy will never be the same.

Description
Still a work in progress but progress is better then nothing.
i walk away 1 minute and this comes up XD.
looks good, this based off concepts?
Based of early Human concept art yes, same art i used for the heavy cruiser.
epic
i think this is going to be one of the best mods for soase great work mate
Containing 2 fighter bays, 4 Thanix cannons and multiple Missile defense platforms this is apex of Alliance Military Tech. Capable of going up against the best in the Council fleet.
Thanix cannons were able to rip through reaper ships right?
Thanix cannons were reverse engineered from Sovereign. After the incident at the citadel.
nice, but wouldn't a dreadnought technically be a capital ship? I thought you had all the cap ship slots for council filled...
There are 9 slots, i still have plenty of room for more.
Nine slots? interesting, to bad it's not on homeworld 2... have more indepth battles... think someone's also made a level up mechanic too..
Will you be doing the more advanced Kilimanjaro-class too?
I'm just going to say it again - it looks too similar to the Heavy Cruiser and Carrier. They also don't fit with the design scheme of the Normandy SR-1 and SR-2, or the Systems Alliance Cruisers seen in-game.
I agree with you about the heavy cruiser.
do you realize the normandy sr-1 and sr-2 are joint turian and alliance project it was a test ship which is atypical of the designs used in the Systems alliance fleet.
Very true, The Turians gave the Normandy sr-1 it's basic shape. You can see that by looking at the turian frigate model in me 2. Alliance ships that you see in me1 look nothing like the normandy, they're more boxy
Of course, but they're also half-Human. Plus, the Alliance ships that we see in-game have no sort of wide middle. Hence, having designs with wide middles in them for the Heavy Cruiser, Dreadnought, and Carrier don't make sense - they don't fit with the Alliance's designs seen in-game. The Carrier it works for - after all, they have to have space for all of the fighters and bombers. For the Dreadnought and Heavy Cruiser though there's just no good reason to have the big wide space, unless you want to paint it in alternating red and white circles.
Well.. no it does when you realize that they're heavily armored dreadnoughts amd heavy cruisers and not light armored, fast, and nimble assault frigates fighters or the like. of course they'd look thicker
Yeah that's all good and well, except that we see Alliance Cruisers in ME1 that have no big wide parts in the middle
That's a cruiser, not a dreadnought. read your codex again... dreadnoughts are big daddies cruisers aren't even in the same size category and are dinky by comparison. At least that's what the Destiny Ascension makes it look like.
Though i could be wrong on this as me wiki says otherwise, but in comparison to the alliance frigates cruisers don't seem too big
Your point is what? One is bigger than the other, so? They would still share a similar design scheme. Plus there's simply no reason for the dreadnought and heavy cruiser to be wide - the main guns are very long, not wide, hence the design of the Alliance Cruiser seen in ME1.
Why does the Everest have four Thanix cannons? According to the Codex and the gunnery sergeant on the Citadel, the Everest-class is built around a kilometer long gun that fires a 20 kilogram ferrous slug at 1.8% the speed of light, impacting with 38 TNT kilotons of force. It doesn't have any Thanix cannons.
Dreadnoughts are centered around a single gun, which this model (as well done as it is) is obviously not. I would recommend redoing this model to show that. I always imagined the Everest-class to look like a cross between the Alliance cruiser and the EDS Hydra from Red Faction: Guerrilla (see this: 4.bp.blogspot.com).
PS: You are a helluva modeler. I'm just trying to help.
^^ Agreed, though I reckon that the Dreadnoughts would have a main gun design sort of like the frigates from Halo
