So cool! What's that SSD-sized ship in the middle? It doesn't look like a Dominance, Warhammer, or SSD variant. :?

Wow if you look real close in the Battle Of Malachor you can see what looks like a MTD carrier skirting the edge of that explosion. Or is that just a misplaced speck?

Your info on the site is slightly incorrect. Dragon Base was the shipyard, and we led them away from it to Seed Of The Fallen.

Wow, those all look awesome GT, and seeing the Proditus in the first pic brought a big grin to my face. The only thing I would say is that the shot of Malachor is from before the Exile reactivated the MSG, while the battle took place a long time after that. But that's a minor point, and I don't remember the game ever showing a really good shot of Malachor exploding. I really like the use of backgrounds in the shots though, had me fooled for a long time before I realised I recognised them.

Well, in the battle context I used it as the Keeper gate, since I had no mesh for that.
