Lordkosc, Schod....you've got it

So where does the Sova fit in?

uh, the sova is scrap metal that they changed into a carrier... duh...

scrap metal? looks waay to pretty for scrap

While I love the Sova, it's butt ugly next to the Skirantra (Yes, I did have to look that one up)

its a flying aircraft carrier with minimal upgrades! I love the design, but pretty? eh... it aint supposed to be pretty.

That's no converted freighter...

oh really? seeing as the Kol is the only thing that isnt, thats gonna be a hard comment to support.

Huh? I WAS talking about the Kol   

What better ship to convert to a colonizing support ship than a cruise liner? It's not like civilians like to ride on an uncomfortable ship. Great job with the new Kol!  

and I was talking about the Sova.

also makes them more suspicious when you say "hey, time for a cruise!" and stick them on a cramped, stinky boat and phasespace to outer planets.

Go read your own information again

Going "gold" means that its been released to the manufacturers -- it refers to the days when they had to print a CD off a golden "master copy".

And they have 30 days to finish it, because they have to pass several separate QA steps. First the Stardock QA stuff, then the Microsoft stuff for "games for windows" (thats a laugh... Microsoft judging the functionality of other companies products? Whats the phrase about motes in your neighbors eye?), then it can "go gold" and be mass produced.

The Kol is supposed to be a brand new TEC warship design. Not a converted freighter (Dunov), cruise liner (Akkan), garbage scowl (Sova). I'm not sure where the Marza fits into all of this, because she looks like she was built around that BFG raze cannon. So maybe the Marza is a new design as well.

I have to say...

Boo.

There I said it. I like the new model, but it doesn't feel like the TEC what-so-Ever.

Now I realize its the first new ship, but I thought the Kol did that in Spades!

The problem with the old Kol: The hangar direction was overlapped by the front of the ship, looked silly.

The New Kol, has this but the hangar launcher is diagonal, which avoids the issue... but now a big hulking 3 gun is in the way! In addition the weird bottom cannon is offset and looks unnatural. I think it should go on the side to balance out the hangar.

I hope the old Kol survives somewhere as a model we can use.

"I was hoping they would change the model for the Kodiak, but it still looks IDENTICAL to an armored troop transport. The only thing missing are the wheels. This is a ship that needs an update as much as the old Kol did. Simply rounding out the hull a bit and putting a gun or thrusters underneath would do the trick. "

I absolutly agree, god the Kodiak is just a silly design. It looks like a Russian Infantry Fighting Vehicle, everytime I expect some Red army troopers to jump out of it and storm an enemy ship in rocket packs
Yep, just a few design adjustments here and there would make the Kodiak look like a ship!

Oh and if we could get rid of the silly banana clip beneath the Cobalt Frigs that would be great, it looks very un TEC

and the TEC refinery looks more like it would be a Vasari structure.

The new Kol is wicked, i liked the old one alot since it reminded me of the B5 EArthforce Omegas, but the new one is even better.
The rest of the caps are fine, may just need some more textures.
Nice touches like more writing and chiped paint.
