A Little Bit of Everything

So first of all for this update is a trio of Centurions.  I still don't care for the small head look, but an opportunity came up for me to very reasonably get 2 boxes of them.  This is the first trio of them assembled.  I went with the missile launchers, grav cannons, and gravamps to outfit them with.  I think this is the best mix of weapons to use against heavy infantry which is what I plan to use them for, that and things like broadsides and riptides and such.
Next up after that, I've got some paint applied to the Cyrmu Naval Fleet Base.  It's an ok scheme that I think will work well enough for now.  I still need to get a few flying stands attached to the bottom of it though.
And last of all, I've got a couple freighters and a scratch built tanker to use as part of the fleet train.  None of them are a whole lot to look at, but then how spiffy does a freight hauler really need to be, so they'll serve their purpose.
The other thing that I've finished is the organization of the Imperial Naval Battlegroup that I've been slowly accumulating.  It's still very light on escorts but I've got a couple orders in to work on that.  I've gone with more Grand Cruisers than Battleships due to the fleet being on the outer Eastern Fringe, and see them as getting a bit less in the way of resources.
