Original Starship Design Thread

[titan_hq]

Small update because I haven't posted anything for a while. That, and I'm very nearly finished.

[Dr Lee]

If i can get RL out the way i might be able to post a render of a new ship i've got going....Well more of a kitbash of an old design.

I've taken the GateJumper design and fiddled with it, extending it a bit and turning it into a Medivac/Transport jumper capable of carrying more troops that the original GJ and with a wider rear entrance/exit.

That ship looks really good Titan.

Really cool, i cant tell a difference between the two, but i like them.

[titan_hq]

The top one looks better.

The last one has foward extended wingtips.

Any chance it having any role in the Fleet 4.0?

[immhotep]

Could be used in 3.0 if you like, its possible that we could have developed something like that by this point, in fact i would be surprised if we havent, there just hasnt been a design/model that works so far. If you write up some specs and post in 3.0 then im sure we could put it in.

[ManiacMike]

I like the first one better. The tips added on just seem off.

[Ackeb]

Agreed first one looks much better.

[ha'tak_]

agreed the first looks better

[Crazy Tom]

I fail to se why retractable weapons pods or wings are required in the first place.

[jonos101]

I fail to se why retractable weapons pods or wings are required in the first place.
