If it is supposed to be 606', then the drawing by Shiplover is way too short, about 90 pixels short of that. I also checked and it is 8 pixels shorter than the regular Spruance drawings.
hnh. Well, since this is for my AU, I could leave it "as is" and just get on with it -or- I could try and do the expansion, which may involve a complete redraw. Not sure I want to get that involved in this. Hell, the reason I chose this design was I figured it would be a quick and safe way to get an interesting ship into my inventory, not being satisfied with what I had representing the Buccaneer Class previously which was basically the Spanish Dedalo. Too outdated for what I wanted.
Now this one is becoming a controversy. I am starting to wonder if there is a single solitary ship I will ever do here which will not become the subject of debate on drawing styles, why my ideas are crap, and acrimonious argument?
yeesh. OK, maybe a bit over the top, but it does seem that way sometimes.
So which way do I flip? Keep it as is? Try and redraw it to the correct length? Open a can of tuna and just say the heck with it and have a sandwich instead?
