That sounds like quite a model.  Is there a picture available?

Well, have you seen the figure! (it is a) big, and b) noticably modular,
and I have a psychological limitation "must design ships to have systems
represented by features on the figures" - which is a pain) Frankly I
agree that its a bit big, (other people seem to think 'the bigger the
better') - at least FT doesn't give bonuses to hitting things because
they're large :-)
Actually, using the old MT sensor rules, it shoes up as a 'capital'
class target - use the thrusters at full power & manouevre at thrust 5
and see if the opponents thinks is an escort playing silly buggers with
a weasel system :-).

'Fraid upon my self imposed limit of trying to 'model' this monster
based on the figure, the number of fighter wings has to be a multiple of
4, and those bay modules are too big to just be 2 flights each (each
module has 12 sets of launch doors).
