This. The only reason i can think of for Satis to be freighter is it's size, but the Argo is even bigger and look, a transport.

@Hades: I liked the shuttle You think you can make both versions? Like, i think INF team, did to chronos. (I think the version with fixed container was called Ulmo)

no, like, the head of the VTOL was originally meant to be a shuttle and grew into the VTOL.

[Hades]

Slight bump.

[peterv]

Looking very good. What's it's length?

[Hades]

At the moment it's scaled to be 120 metes, but that's by no means set in stone.

sounds like a good length, the pods about 20m each?

Love the way the detail is turning out

[Snail]

The design has started to take on a much more FreeSpace feel with the cargo pods and such.

indeed.

[Mobius]

I have to agree with that.

Just had an idea... what about making the front compatible with TC-TRI containers?

No, closer to 15/16 meters long, near the size of the Hermes.

Please don't. There's a reason the TC-TRI has that 'TRI' in its name. Only Tritons should be able to haul them. Of course, you might argue that this is post-Triton, and reverse-compatible with older cargo crates, but still...if you change that beautiful streamlined nose into a 'lifting fork' similar to the Triton, the model will lose a lot of its character.

Good job Hades, BTW.

It is a delicious freighter, and will hopefully be integrated into SAFSO soon enough.

Just as long as it gets a public release too.

It's Hades' model, he can release it to whomever he wants. But his bridge design and overall look and feel is very in line with our established art-style, so we talked to him about it yesterday and there seemed to be a strong leaning towards inclusion into SAFSO.

Well, right, but I still think it would be a good idea...

[Hades]

It's not a good idea because the TRI-TC is already at least 3 times bigger than a Chonos, which is around 160 meters long, my VTOL is 120 meters long, and the only direction I'm going is shorter.

Not to mention it'd look ass ugly with the prongs needed

[Black Wolf]

Would it work using existing cargo containers rather than custom pods?

[Hades]

No, probably not.

Anyway, new update. My Medusae are there to show scale. The Vtol, atm, is ~5000 triangles and each Medusa is 16k (so both are around 32k triangles)

[Hades]

Yo. I've completely redone the engines.
