Description
Big thanks to Sly for getting me the model and textures, and Bobbtman for creating this masterpiece. I've been looking for a decent model for awhile, but the EvileJedi one just didn't cut it for me.
I also decided to play around with 3ds Max rendering, so the images aren't quite FoC quality.

I don't think the Clone Wars-era Dreadnaught had a hangar. I think that was added by the Imperials later on. That being said, I like the look of the ship and am okay with it having a hangar. I do think that if you going to give the Dreadnaughts hangars, then they should launch V-wings or Z-95s instead of Arc-170s. I don't think a full compliment of Arc-170s would fit in the ships' smaller hangar.
Heh, well the ARC were just something I threw in with the render for added visuals.
Anyways, I'm likely keeping the hangar. I could probably work a bit of magic with extrude and UV mapping, but I like the idea of having a hangar bay. That said, it won't have a full compliment like a Venator, only an escort squadron of 1 V-19s/Z-95s/V-Wings depending on your current tech level.
Okay cool, good to know.
Keep up the good work.
That's a good idea.
As far as Legends-canon sources go, a Dreadnaught cannot carry more than one fighter squadron (12 fighters) anyways.
