SSV Einstein - Systems Alliance Carrier

A try to update the Einstein model a bit. The old model of it had its flaws so i add some more details, rework the wings and made some changes to the textures. Not sure if i leave it that way, but it is definitely better than the previous model.

The concept of the Einstein class Carrier is based on the looks of the Systems Alliance Arcturus Station, the seat of the Alliance Parliament.
Unfortunately the design of the Arcturus Base we saw in the Comic "Evolution" doesnt match to the description in the codex as a Stanford Torus Type Ringstation. But the design matched perfectly for a through deck carrier. So i make the Einstein class Carrier based on Arcturus.

Class Info:
The 940 meter long Einstein class is the oldest Carrier type in active service of the Alliance military.
It is built in 2149, eight years before the First Contact War with the Turians. Like the Everest class Dreadnought, only three of them were ever built. The SSV Einstein, the SSV Hawking and the SSV Davis.

Systems Alliance Carriers are typically named after Pioneers, Scientists and Trailblazer, people who had a impact on humanity.

The Einstein is a mobile Base and act as packhorse for the new human colonies and outposts which are etablished quickly after the discovery of the Charon Mass Relay. Her superior cargo capacity makes her a excellente transport ship for founding new colonies. To that time the ship doesnt have much military purpose, because there are no rival for the Systems Alliance beside a short period where the Einstein was stationed on Mars to fight a terrorist group called "Red Sand".
The Einstein class is a typical aircraft carrier with a hullsize hangarbay wich is with 800 m nearly the size of the ship itself. She carries several hundred Starfighter, Shuttles, Dropships, Tanks and armored vehicles as main armament. Her own weapons consist only of 8 Twin Hypervelocity-Railguns (mid Range) to guard the entry lanes of the Hangardecks and a dozen of GARDIAN Laser (low Range) to deflect enemy rockets or Intercept Fighters. The Carrier alone is typically no match for ships bigger than a Destroyer, so it need constant protection from Frigates and Cruisers.
It has a adequate armor for a ship of this size, but Mass Effect fields and shields are outdated. Thats why the Einstein class will replaced with the Tereshkova class Carrier soon.

Hannah Shepard, Commander Shepards Mother served on the SSV Einstein which responded to the Mindoir raid by the Batarians in 2170.
