Rip t20?

It's an odd shape.
Yes it is, but that general style is how I have pictured Solomani craft for years. Like the Zdhits class Destroyer Escort kept showing up for the Zhodani and its general style carries over to other Zhodani ship pictures. The Vargr fins/teeth, as well as K'kree Flying Saucers and Aslan's smooth curved shapes all show a similar style within their own ships, yet there is little to differentiate Standard Imperial designs from this collection of Solomani ships. Granted they both had a similar base to start from, but, IMHO, there should definitely be some divergence especially since the Navy was defined differently a decent period before the Rim war broke out. I guess it surprised me more than I expected. And I do believe that the Endeavor deserves a place in that collection. :)
 
To continue down the divergence a little, my mind is drawing a blank on the Endeavor, where might I find it or a likeness to jog the memory?

Adventure Class Ships Volume 2 from FASA. (Aslan Combat Scout, that keeps showing up in various works is from the same one. :) ) 3 Parallel Cylinders (Center is larger and higher than the side two.) forward out of a wedge with a conning tower style bridge on top.
 
T20 is a dead any of the other versions of Traveller currently not publishing actively. The fact that GT still has JTAS running is a greater credit to SJG for keeping the flame alive during these uncertain times. Hunter has maintained this website, although, sometimes with fan help and that is to his credit. CT exists in reprints and other versions exist in PDF. If T20 is truly dead, then it must be akin to Joyce's Finnegan's Wake...just needing a good shot of spirit to raise the dead from their slumber.

Who is to determine how dead a game system actually is. True, we are not likely to see much more in the way of support for this particular game system but there is enough supplements and other assorted things that could be ported over into Traveller. Even if Marc asked Hunter to destroy all remaining copies of T20 there still would tons of stuff in game stores and the Internet that would make that nigh high impossible. However, if you are looking for a "live" game there is no better way than to play it - improve upon it. Submit those ideas to the ether. Spread the flame.
 
Ah yes, the description does it, thanks BTL :)
No Problem.

I also got out the old CT Alien Module on Solomani this evening (I forget the number.) and those pics are all over the map without a real unifying concept in ship design, yet they still have a certain feel to them.

Andrew, I love your models, but they, strictly in my opinion, don't seem to have the same feel. It appears, again my opinion, the lines are too clean. The one unifying thing you can say about all the Solomani designs from CT I could find is they definitely don't have nice clean lines.
 
Doing 32 ships in a hurry did strain my creativity a bit!
And what you came up with is definitely good. I am not saying it isn't. Trust me, I do understand what it takes to come up with meshes for 3D art. :) I also know you were rushed, and I couldn't do what you did in the same time frame as well. It was more a random thought about a ship I didn't see, that, IMHO, should definitely be there.
 
Well, time for me chime in a bit.

Thank You for sharing your cool work

But as you know, you make it soooo, easy and good as fast as you turn them out that, we just can't help but Demand more. :rofl:


Thanks, again for sharing and listening to our suggestings.

BTW, any deckplans or general overview of interior ship lays being worked on?

Indeed. In fact maybe you should start a topic in the fleet section to show them off? For those who don't look in this section often.
 
Glad to hear that it is not completely dead yet.

Hmm, any chance there might be another TA after this one? As I recall, when Personel Arms of Charted Space came out, there was mentione made of a companion piece detailing the heavy weapons. I would really like to see that. After all, there has to be something in the gap between the LMG and the VRF gauss gun.

Well, if someone wants to write it...
