Powell Class Modular Scout

[Scarecrow]

So why not just have the attachment points on the sides of the modules?

Emm, a possible answer is because they are standard modular cutter modules and they are built with attachment points along the top only???

Right. The ship uses standard, off-the-shelf cutter modules -- though there's nothing to stop anyone from producing side-mount modules that will attach to the mounting rails. I may design a couple myself just for fun. But the fittings (iris valves, etc.) will need to match the standard modular cutter designs if they're to be mounted in cutters as well. Otherwise, as long as they've got a matching channel for the side mounts, anything goes.

 

[Scarecrow]

Right! I'm with you.

Inspired by this really quite interesting design, I scribbled this, this afternoon. I was going to do a fully finished render but then I thought, what's the point? It's only a bit of fun.

Enjoy,

Crow

Swweeeet. So ugly it's beootiful

I love this whole project and everybody's work. Well with a few caveats, but I don't want to spoil the mood just now with my nitpicks, later

Reminds me a little of the old Express Packet Boat from GW's IISS Ship Files.

Hell no! Pick those nits! That's where the meat is at! =)

Very cool! I love the way it looks like a giant moth, and it doesn't need to be rendered (but I DO need to work out how to use one of these in an adventure).

Hey, Crow, you feeling inspired to take on a speculative trader by any chance?

 

[rvatsaas]

You're quite a talent, crow. I always wished I could draw like that.

 

[Malenfant]

Jeez, 'Crow. If that's what you call a scribble, I'd hate (and by "hate", I really mean "love" ) to see something that you put some actual care into!

Oh but then I guess I have - your "wedgie" and the Florian...!

Oh, wow. Thanks, Crow, that's marvelous!

 

[Scarecrow]

Well, if you like it I'll maybe finish it off properly.

Thanks for the general positive comments. I didn't mean to hijack the thread, just contribute towards it. Sorry.

Hi Crow, Tanuki !

You seem to make a pretty team

The designs are frightening good.
And Crows interpretation looks so alive....

Regards,

Mert

 

[Tanuki]

Thanks, Mert.

Nothing to be sorry about! This is a conversation, not a carefully structured lecture and your contributions are very welcome!

I'd love to see what a "properly finished" version of that will be!

Thanks

As would everyone else in the thread (along with the passing lurkers)!

So what am I? Chopped Liver?

 

[TheEngineer]

Excellent. You're an engineer !
Anything else to say ?

 

[rvatsaas]

Ok, I have added some of Tanuki's Updates, I am not sure what I am going to do as far as fins. on it. I am not quite sure they really belong.

Thoughts?

Ya, I know, the colors could be better.

 

[Scarecrow]

Cool! The lighting on this one is much better than the originals. You can see it more clearly and you get a better feel for the shape.

Nice work.
