The covenant already has the *new and improved* DDS pure carrier. What niche will this vessel and it's humps fill in the covenants arsenal?

[Lavo]

Something that currently has a filler model needing replacement.

[Daringpear]

The super-destroyer?

[Lavo]

Battleship.

Again, not the biggest fan of the "OSS"'s design, would have rather seen the Super Destroyer get fleshed out for the role. Seeing as how it's not only at least pseudo-canon but is overall better designed imho.
The odd, back-swept wings and fat stubby "neck" don't really fit the Covenant design spectrum. Everything looks like it belongs on a Covenant vessel but those particular features and I don't really see a way to improve upon them.

In the OSS' defence, the Destroyer doesn't have the ideal design either - it has a comparatively thin body and tall and wide engine section. This thing doesn't either. It probably needs a bit of time to grow on you. While I would've liked to see the Battleship as well, there's probably a reason for using someone's skills on a 'Replacement model' when it fills the same role as the battleship.

Looking at what Spartan Games is doing recently, you should be grateful for what the OSS is - an original design.

 

Once you'll build it in-game, you'll get more used to it. It won't be a CCS-frequent ship you'll get to toy with, so even if you dislike it completely it won't bother you that much.

The Super Destroyer design looks like absolute ass though. I really do not see how this design could be salvaged for SotP. That being said, in terms of stats and role, the OSS is entirely based off of the Super Destroyer, aka. Battleship, with the Energy Projectors having been swapped out for Plasma Torpedoes purely due to superior visual effect in the Iron Engine.

We have tried many times to design the SD, it is a bad design. Looks like a balloon animal. Only looks good from one single angle, rest are shite.

This, 100%.  SD looks like shite.  I remember how horrified I was back when folks thought that was the Covie Supercarrier.
