Here is an example of what I am thinking of, it's a version of the Discovery https://www.deviantart.com/paul-lloyd/art/X-ray-Delta-One-814119994

Why do you post things when I'm taking a break from drawing to work on my story? You just want me to drop everything and do a deckplan for you! I'm on to you mister but it won't work this time. Trust me, I think...

 

[Dragoner]

What is your story about? I have a bunch of stuff I am working on, though I want to roll up a crew too.

Space exploration seek to find several of their colony ships lost four hundred years ago? I'd have to check my notes... Anyway it actually mixing two different premises from two game systems. Through in MTU and MY handsome self there is bound to be Love, Tragedy and Mysteries. So you see nothing could go wrong... with my writing that is. And don't get your hopes up either, I'm a welder with a GED and A Diploma from the Discovery Channel and Google. A great combination to write sci-fi. .

As far as a ship crew goes, The Cygnus from the Gull Class Survey Vessel post could give you a run for your money. Then again, anyone of the three Design before that. By the way, they are out looking for the Cygnus as we speak.

Just remember, only the Gull Retrofit and the Albatross are available.

[SPOILER="There is a lot more, but I have got around to writing it just yet."] There is a third ship in the background monitoring the progress of the Cygnus. It belongs to a corporation who has ties with both the Lost ships and the Seven Worlds. [/SPOILER]

Anywho, I'm on my sixth chapter. It basically wrapping up everything that happen during the first five chapter before I move on to any more dangers. So it will be a while before it's done. Especially if someone keeps posting designs that interest me!

Back to writing I go....
