Greetings fellow Space Battleship Yamato Fans!
I would like to post some fan made ship designs I've found, and also my idea for the EDF Andromeda. But before that, can we discuss the Andromeda, it's design and weapon systems?



I wish to know your guys opinion about the things on the hull of the Andromeda.

What I know:
Official wiki:
1x twin Wave Motion Cannons or 2x Wave Motion Cannons or 2x Diffusion Wave Motion Cannons
4x3 508mm Shock cannons
2x2,2x3 Pulse Laser AA Guns.
4x front torpedo tubes
8x missile launchers

Other, Japanese site states the following:
2x Diffusion Wave Motion Cannons
4x3 508mm Shock cannons
4x2 side shock cannon turret mounts
2x2,2x3 Pulse Laser AA Guns.
4x front torpedo tubes
8x Anti Aircraft missile launchers under the bridge

Apparently there are 3 different type of engines located on the hull: Main Wave Motion Engine, 4 set of secondary engines, 1 set of 4 tertiary or auxiliary engines (front section on the bottom)
The small opening on the nose is probably a sensor of sorts, apparently there are 3 doors leading for the hanger, one is a the bottom like on the Yamato, and 1-1 on both sides between the secondary engines.
The close range AA armament is very small for this size of vessel with only 4 turrets, though if the missiles were specially for anti starfighter use that could help the ship defend itself. Or is it possible that the ship designed so not to work individually but with a strong fighter cover and/or with specialised anti starfighter aka AA ships for defence.

And the unknown things on the hull:

1 - ??? Shield generator?
2 - semi rectangle doors/hatches of unknown purpose
3 - ??? Small angle broadside cannon mounts? Missile tubes? Manoeuvring thrusters?
4 - Command unit or Radar?
5 - ??? Fuel (Tachyon) tanks? Shield Generators?
6 - Rectangle doors/hatches of unknown purpose
7 - circular holes on the bridge, there are some on the aft part of the superstructure and on the top part of the bridge (aft)
8 - Unknown circular openings between the struts, probably the bridge AA missile tubes?
9 - Shield Generator? Manoeuvring thrusters? And/or missile tubes?
