Hi noobatron (incidentally, cool name)
The first thing I'd ask is what scale you are intending to use? Your 41 metre boat is 319px long, which would equate to 159.5 feet using SB scale, about 49 metres rather than 41. From the looks of the ship this affects the size of the rest of the ship a little, so I'll leave this particular bit there for clarification.
The second point is about the rudder ... the has to provide a leverage point to turn the entire ship when the rudder is in use, I'm not sure the supports that you have shown would function correctly - as an example:
Note that this ship is a little bit shorter than your shortest design but still has the rudder built into the hull.
Thirdly, your ship has a lot of hull below the waterline - now I'm not an expert on this by any means (we do have several here, I'm just not one of them
) but I think that'll result in a couple of things: firstly, more water than normal washing over the sides of the ship at high speed; secondly, a "stiff" ship, that is one that has harsh roll characteristics.
I see a lot of thin, narrow funnels ... wouldn't it be better to trunk them into a bigger funnel?
I'd be wary of placing rockets directly in front of the bridge for fear of severely damaging it.
I think that's it for the moment, I've deliberately not commented on the specified weapon loadout as I'd imagine that's contingent upon AU background.
Regards,
Adam
EDIT: Oh, and yes, some of us
do use MS Paint - if you take a look in the non-shipbucket section, you'll see Rurik-2's drawings, and I think those are pure mspaint and an ungodly amount of skill...
