Systems Alliance Carrier concept art! 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.
For the DOTR remaster, the mod team has been hard at work searching through official Bioware concept art to produce most cannon Mass Effect experience for the mod to date. This new addition to the Systems Alliance faction was seen only once in The Art of Mass Effect 3, and we decided it would be the perfect baseline for a new Systems Alliance Carrier. Unfortunately, there was only one shot of the vessel produced by Bioware and we required an experienced concept artist to help us produce a fully fleshed out version of the ship.
This amazing piece of work was produced by Nikko, a new DOTR member who has been contributing much of his time to depicting some of the more complicated designs the DOTR team has been struggling with.

Love the design! She is as majestic as sleek and even seems like an advancement in both design and technology by the Alliance.
By all means an amazing work!
Beautiful design! I have one question though... Where in the Hangar bays?
It will function similar to a Battlestar flight pod. The fighters will slingshot launch at high speeds from small openings in the port and starboard sides. The fighters then land in the aft of the ship in the reentry hangers located between the 2 thrusters. You can see 3 of the aft hangers labeled in the concept art.
Fraking amazing design choice
But wouldn't it be dangerous landing between the exhaust? In-universe speaking ofc
I think in-lore, carriers tend to hang back and chill, so probably won't be going full speed ahead and potentially frying its fighters...
Plus, can you imagine trying to land in a ship whilst it is doing doughnuts in space?!
There also seems to be a fairly large enough gap when coming from above the ship, to pass through and squeeze between the engines nacelles.
She looks so cool ! Can't wait to see that beauty ingame !
