    i don't really get all the sci-fi spaceship design, clearly the best shape would be a sphere since enemies can come from all directions. You can shoot in every direction that way and with some good system fly in every way.

      No a sphere is very poor because you have to cover all points.

        Well if we are looking at this in the way of real spaceships and real space combat you would want the ship that can show the smallest profile making it harder to hit with the maximum number of weapons along that profile and coverage wouldn't really matter much since most battles would be millions of miles away from each ship involved and would most likely be 1 shot kills.

        Now looking at this from a TV Sci-fi perspective a more interesting designed ship would be more appealing. TV being a visual media requires things to capture an audience’s attention while also giving them something they can relate to and a sphere as a future spaceship really does not do this.

          Already done that, I am not very good with numbers lol, but just a thought in one of your earlier post you said 1 mark Mark IV for each hyperdrive, did you mean that for the entire ship?

                      Maybe I'll post a wire frame some time.

                          I never had a problem with rendering wire frames. Maybe I just go about making them in a different way.

                              Here is the top down wire frame for my Daedalus. It took 2 minutes to setup and 1 minute to render.
