So I liked this design and actually used it in a mission I did many years ago before I quit for awhile.
Now I dug it out and cleaned her up. Then I made the changes I felt necessary to make her a Science Cruiser in my eyes.
Please understand this is still a WIP. Yes I have many WIP's and currently trying to must up the courage to do UV mapping which I failed in several attempts so far.
There are two versions, this is the first one. The second which is not here yet, gets rid of the two large scanner pods and has one large one turned 90 degrees and shaped differently as well. I'll post that one later.

New engines, more engines and well, the design speaks for it's self.
All the best,
