It's a huge space ship. What more do you need in an image for this?
Great example, but the thing that makes a Battlestar a Battlestar is that it carries smaller fighting ships, which the current pic doesn't show. I'm not sure how we'd go about pic'ing this succinctly unless there's a great shot of the Galactica or Pegasus exchanging fire with a Basestar while launching Vipers.
So this is the space version of Airborne Aircraft Carrier? If so, the picture might best be as close as possible to the picture on that page, instead of looking like a ship that happens to have some fighters available.

I'm on the internet. My arguments are invalid.Here◊'s the Omega Destroyer, cropped and at wiki size. Personally, though, I prefer this one, because it's clear, compact, and easy on the eyes:

That is okay but doesn't "feel big". I like the full frame of the other one:

I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!Can someone post 9 at wiki size or make a crop of it?
At wiki size:
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
That works best for me, I get a good idea of the size of the ship from that.
I can barely see it, unless I drag it or set my monitor's brightness way too high. My monitor is an idiot.
I'm not crazy, I just don't give a darn!It looks a lot better on my laptop than it does here.
If it's any better for the ships to be flying towards the text…

(Yes, I know the angles are too off for this trope to apply, but for some reason it came to mind)

Moon◊I like the Battlestar suggested by Cobra Prime and shrunk by Septimus coz it's also firing at the viewer besides launching vipers. And the trope is not just that it's a carrier, but a hybrid Battleship/Carrier. It shows both parts of the trope. None of the other images show the ship firing its own guns.
That, brightened:
Becky: Who are you? The Mysterious Stranger: An angel. Huck: What's your name? The Mysterious Stranger: Satan.
That's good, it's even got some weapons fire from the ship.
It's very good once brightened.
It's just a picture of the Trope Namer, with nothing to show what the trope is about.
