Lyran Early Dreadnought:
Prior to the catamaran design, the Lyrans had created an early dreadnought which bridges the gap between the 2 hulls of a CA, merging them into a single one. It was not as stable as the catamaran conversion (which they hadn't figured out yet), but at least it worked for their needs:

I'm confused- dreadnought destroyer??
The L-DND was the middle part of added to a L-CA -> L-DN conversion that never recieved a L-CA for this conversion. There was only one ever made, and it was called the "Golden Cub". That connector part is about the size of a DD.
It's the middle part of this, if you look at a SFB-accurate Lyran DN:
.. however, using Taldren's style of making the lyrans, I have no idea what it would look like.

That's a cool looking Lyran BTW - not a Lion but cool anyway, more like a Wildcat/Hellcat IMO (yeah I know the SFB Wildcat is a Trimaran version of the Panther CL but that looks lame
)

As for the Taldren DN, it looks more like a freighter to me...
Nice looking EDN btw, dont suppose someone could mail me a scan of the SSD, I haven't got the module its in (R7?)

My opinion of Lyrans has improved thanks to you two...

The one above is supposed to be a Lion, using the side sections from the Tiger CA i've already done. It looks more like the old school SSD from the top down view than that render looks. You also have to draw a line between something that looks right as an SSD and what looks right as a 3D model. Both the Wild and Hell cats will be done after the Panther is finished

That is a very odd looking SFB design too. It looks like the Lyrans just slapped it together and hoped it would fly well.

Hey Firesoul, I'm confused aswell. This "Early DN", it was not built during the Early years period (Y75-Y120), but later on during the First Generation of ships, correct? I never seen this SFB ship before and had no idea the Lyrans even tried too make a DN before the General War DN.

Yeah.. It's not a early years ship. It's just an early dreadnought, much like the G-DNE which is already in stock SFC. In fact, did you know the F-DN is now considered a Early DN while the DN+ is now considered their stock DN? Module R7 revises the F-DN's date of appearance to Y148.
.. I am not near my books at the moment, but the L-DNE is entered in OP+ to be dated to appear in Y120.

Perfect
Cheers for that. May very well have to get me grubby paws on a copy of R7
Thanks
