Actually, this is the first time I've read this thread. It's tempting, but like you I'm juggling too many projects (1 non-Traveller but paying, 1 Traveller that may pay, and 2 personal, 1 of which I haven't even started yet).

wow thanks for all the cool feed back!
i think i've found a home!
sorry scarecrow i really am wanting a
brick shape like veltyen/ far-trader is making....
BUT
your drawing and idea is very cool!!!!!!
i sure wish i had come here 5 months ago...
i might want to use scarecrows drawing for something else if that would be okay?
your ship looks like the idea i had for a
starbase which would be more stable
then alot of other styles we see in fiction...
in fact its REAL close to the style i
was thinking just subsitute windows for
the doors and your almost there...
of course it would
be HUGE over a mile long etc...

Yeah, but your scribbles are better than most peoples finished work!
I agree!
If I could scribble like that I would have a job making more money working for an advertising agency!~
(Or certain Game manufaturing/Publishing companies)

Ho, ho. Ok, this one is odd.
Somehow it reminds me of two adjected electrical shavers
Seriously I really like the design and the appearance of the cargo module to be dismountable !
Maybe there are differently shaped modules for different cargos (fluids, dusts or containers)...
Another creative thread. Cool.

When I first saw Dan's design, I immediately thought of this drawing by Jeff Carlisle
If you haven't seen Jeff's site, check it out. His ship illustrations are awesome!

Hmm, I'm thinking extensible open wire walkway. So you don't sacrifice cargo space. It's there when you need it, with parts of it capable of swinging down for ramp/stairs.
A final version may take a bit, I beg your patience, time is tight here too. The rough work only took a few commercials while watching tv, finish work is not so easy but I'll try to get to it.

Thanks. Though my scratchings shame me in your notice of them
On your "wacky ravings" I like them all. Not for this project though it seems. Although...
The two halves symmetry, well it's not exactly a split down the middle, but yes I wanted something more... differentiated. The seam was mostly a reminder to self that there was a split. As it turns out my volume calculation was a little off. I need to add some to the core hull and subtract a little from the graft, so I'm playing with playing up the difference.
To be honest I wasn't seeing the cylinder idea and it wasn't appealling to me. But then you drew the thing
I don't see this one as an (easily
) detachable cargo module. But yes it needs some heavy bracing, kind of like your claws. My sketch was very low on details like that. Details that add interest and should be included.The bridge placement, I agree is cool for it's difference, but credit for it goes to sid
Catamaran style is dancing in my head for another design, from the other thread.
The rotating skids idea is one I might try to work in. It is just too cool. If not this one then it will have to be used in another!

Nice start. Thanks for volunteering to model it veltyen
I'm actually thinking the split won't be indented now, rather it will be a heavy lapped seam, with nice big rivets, ok, I'm joking about the rivets
I also need to adjust the overall layout a little for a volume correction. I'll try to post that correction soon (tonight maybe) so if you want to keep modelling it that'd be very cool.
Not at all. A couple of others have also commented that it reminds them of household objects. That's not a surprise. Much of my inspiration for shapes and ideas for their implementation comes from the most mundane and unusual of sources, not just other space ship designs =) The kitchen and the tool shed can be great design resourcesOriginally posted by far-trader:
You won't take this the wrong way if I say the first thing I saw in it was an old paper towel rack we have

ummmm..i'm embarrassed, but since our mail was purged i can't
remember the name of the fellow that helped me finish the floor plan
that Far Trader help start for me... red faced...
TheEngineer is his name...
here is the 2D floor plan completed
and its 3 part keys...

a floating globe navigation/pilot/computer bot
and a semi-smart cargo bot
now if i can just harrass veltyn enough to finish the 3D...
