Original Starship Design Thread

Killman has a point on the hull detailing through guys. How warships today have their bowels spread out on the outside to lure enemy fire?

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

i can agree with that but he could have been nicer about it

[colbmista]

also WTF why would i add a big center hole? waste of space

beacuse it consides with the design of the hatak as the hatak has big gaping holes in the center of its "wings" look at a hatak u will see

[colbmista]

why would i POSSIBLY want pipes on the outside? why would i want that? a smooth hull takes FAR less damage

and on having piping and other thing son the outside of the hull gives more room for cargo space and room for corridors and rooms on the insid eof the ship why waste space when u can stick it on the outter hull

Because you've just placed the systems that actually keep you alive on the wrong side of the armor.

Adding on to this, it may pay to make your ship dispersed, a hole in the middle can mean you can let fire pass "through" your ship. The less concentrated surface area, the less you have to move to dodge.

Ah, the pun. The lowest form of humour.

It can also provide as a form of cover for the Death Gliders.

quick update to my Brit-Verse fleet



Worked on the Hospital ship... tweaked the texture a bit, and gave the two Spear bays textures..... speaking of them... removed the front cannons on the spear and gave it a whiter texture... may even remove the rear cannons as well, leaving the two fixed guns infront of the cockpit as the Spear's defence

---------------------------



As per an idea for my mate and his movies... i'm creating a small cockpit for the Forklift (And ultimately the runabout). the plan would be to film me in such a way that i could be put in the cockpit using the computer trickery my mate uses...
