Okay, here's my (prototype) contender!

You'll have to excuse the colors, as I am still in the process of design.

Actually, it does have a flight deck, now.  I figured I might as well add one, seeing as everyone else's had one.

I guess you could classify mine as a dreadnaught, or maybe a battlecruiser of some kind.

Okay, here's an updated picture:



Does that make it look better?  That thing at the back is not the drive system.  That will extend back a little farther into four large jet engines.

It now has a landable deck of 500 meters and several gun turrets.  The red squares along the sides are missile bays, and the large ovoids on the ends of the "wings" are hydrogen containers, with which the ship can steer.  The two conterweights (the "wings") rotate around the center axis and the change in the center of gravity rolls the ship, which then makes a turn.  They are also the fuel containers for the engines.

Probably more than anyone wanted to know, but oh well . . .

I made some quick changes to the model. The Magna-Plates no longer hover. Instead, they are now directly bolted to the hull of the ship.

The platform is now much smaller to make more manuverable and can only up to 8 fighters onboard using each of the 8 squares as landing pads. Only 2 of the pads can be lowered so that the fighters can be repaired. The ship now has a camoflage scheme to make it harder to detect visually.

Since the ship is now small, it can move a whole lot faster along with it's pulse engines. It is now capable of underwater use thanks to its submarine-like design. The ship is still heavily armored with Titanium and Steel hulls.

It can only require a small number of people to maintain it and operate it. 3 officers [Captain, Communications, and Tactical], 20 enlisted crewmen [including pilots and gunners], 4 repair personel.
