Description
The Bismarck, Gladius-class destroyer of the Confederate Earth Sphere. 600m in length. Antimatter and particle-beam weaponry, recycling shield systems, and private Lighthouse network FTL drive. Stubborn as hell to move from side to side, but capable of astounding straight runs.^_^ Obviously inspired by numerous things, including the Vernator star destroyer (c. George Lucas), the Typhoon-class submarine, the USS Arizona, the Zeiram-class battleships from Star Fox 64, and a shark. Also, of course, the WWII german flagship, for which this is named. Planet in the background from Nasa; o.o; still trying to learn how to make planets meself... Credit of said ideas goes to all of 'em, but hell, everything's been done everywhere xD. Not exactly splicing ideas from other ships to make an original, just good ideas into something awesome. Two or so hours, photoshop 7.

I was also wondering if I could ask you for a favor. Could you make a computer generated diagram of my version of the Gladius?
I would do this myself, however I do not have the proper equipment to do that.
I have posted a link in my previous comment below.

Do you have the Paint program? That's all I needed to make the diagram of the Gladius, so you could do it too. However, I lost the original file for this baby, so I'll have to make it all from scratch.
I'll think about this one. XD

Is there any particular paint program that you used to produce the Gladius?

The standard Paint that comes with nearly every copy of Windows, I'd say.

Thany you, I have found a good paint program called Smooth Draw 3. It is an okay program, although it is not as complex the program that you are using, however I did manage to create a digital diagram of the varient class destroyer, ( modified gladuis class )
Here is the link to it.

That is quite a nice rendering of the Gladius-class destroyer. And speaking of which, I have already posted my version of the Gladius- class destroyer.
It is in this link.

Nice work. Could use some work on the 'ideas' credits, though. You forgot to credit the German WW II Battle Ship, the Bismarck. That is what you named it after, right?

Which was named after Otto von Bismarck. I don't believe names need be credited, although yes, that's what the ship was named/inspired after. ;D I had thought that would be self-evident.

Name fifteen people on dA who know about the Bismarck.

I can name 15 locals who know. I don't know 15 people that well on DA.
It would be rather sad if there were less than 15 on this site who knew their global history. =/ Pity.

I would be rather surprised if there were fewer than that.
