Still haven't decided what it is ( ), but I'm thinking either some kind of transport/dropship or maybe a new medical ship (larger then the existing one).

Yes, the curved surfaces don't look very good at the mo. I'll fix it later.

[TheCelestialOne]

What is it? A Spoon class ship?

Anyway, I think it would be perfect as a med ship.

Or - with texturing - a science ship, I take the inspiration from the Event Horizon - the front of the ship could break off and be used as a lifeboat if it had to (although without the SC this couldn't be done in the game)... Nice model though!

[Corhellion]

Do it like the NTF Boadica installation, have it blow up in pieces then the front jump out, or something like that....looks vasudan to me, just cut a little bit at the front out like on the Vas cap-ships, and it'll look really vasudan.

Good job, keep up the good work!

ITA/VE War TC...not dead...just on hold...WE NEED MORE HELP!!!:( , but it'll be wicked when it's done!

New Boanerges!!!:headz:

Is it me, or does it scream 'Imperial Strike Cruiser' at you? (Star Wars)

No..just have 2 seperate, docked, ships.  One can pull / push the other.

[Killfrenzy]

Just dock them to each other in FRED. The docker is the 'engine' bit and the dockee is the 'bridge/escape pod/other thing' bit.

[Ryx]

err... so what was 'decided' here exactly?

[Sesquipedalian]

Vasudan Science Ship.   By the way, I want this model too, Ryx.  I really like it.

AT LAST!!!

I'm running with the Vasudan  idea. I have smoothed it out a bit, added the ridge at the back.  

I'm thinking about either modeling some kinda of attachment to go underneath that's either part of the model or as a module that the ship docks with. Though that would probably make it more of a freighter.

[Ryx]

Not entirely happy with the 'pod'. doesn't lok Vas, enough.

[TheCelestialOne]

Now it looks a bit like a small carrier...

I have a couple of suggestions that I think would improve the overall 'look' of this design.

1: Vasudan ships tend to be pretty streamlined, it would be a simple matter to slim down the 'nose' of the ship just by giving the upper surface of the ship a steeper slant, giving it a sleeker look instead of the blunt prow it has now.

2: The pod is cool, I recommend widening it out a bit and forking it foward, almost like the front end of a Vasudan destroyer, so that the prongs come up alongside the forward part of the main hull a bit. I also recommend making the connection with the main hull flow into the main structure more smoothly instead of looking like something welded on afterwards.

This is pretty minor stuff though. The overal configuration is really slick, what are you going to have it attach to?

[IPAndrews]

A bone. Congratulations.

I'll try it out.

At the moment the flat looking rear bit is where an engine texture would be applied. At the moment I have not planned for it to be docked with anything (as in it being a smaller part of a bigger ship).

[Ryx]

[Fineus]

Looking great! Much better than the original model, can you add some detail to the rear? It's... well - flat
