I said at the start, "lets make something beautiful" and thats what we did, and its still not finished, names??? ummmmm, we have to work on that
Yeah still lots of tweaks to be made but the overall shape is done. I don't like how the engine block looks from the top, so I'll tweak that too.About the name how does this one sound, wanderer in Latin: PEREGRINUS = STRANGER, ALIEN, FOREIGNER, PEREGRINE, PILGRIM, WANDERER
Maybe the name of an explorer
-
I love it, go with that
-
Don't mind me jumping in to ask a few questions...
So this is a technology/explorer type vehicle right?
Will it be able to enter and exit the earths atmosphere or is it built in orbit and strictly space bound?
The reason I ask is it is very aerodynamic which is only a factor in atmosphere with resistance, has wings which is pointless in space.

Yup

I think it would be more feasible for a ship this big to be built in space.
I made it more aerodynamic because it generally makes for a more beautiful vehicle, but also that it might need to skim through the atmospeheres of various planets and it would need a minimum of control in that situation. -
I ain't driving thu, skimming the atmosphere are you crazy, good luck to ya with that Marian

Come ooonnn! It will be fun.
Be thankful that I scrapped the idea of skimming the atmospheres of stars. Now that would get you a nice tan pretty quick.
Well the, the wings also contain two secondary engines so they're practical.
In any case we're talking about a ship capable of crossing interplanetary space, for a civilization which reached that point, just about any shape would be feasible.My motto is: If it looks cool, keep it!
-
Hey...another idea just slammed my noggin. How about we come up with a short story about the ship, we animate it and post the clip or clips on youtube? Of course after we completely finish it.
-
Why don't you post something here? I'm gonna stop lurking otherwise...
-
lol, i can see it now, "Marians Log, star date 2012" ha ha, an animation, that i can do, so have you started on the textire, my texture skills on something like this would render useless
-
No texture for now. I;m just tweaking the mesh.I think we'll model in most of the details and use texture only here and there, I'm no expert either.
Don't worry Peter, we;ll post it here.
Hahaha, funny you should say that...I was thinking of starting more like this "This is the story of the Starship ******, sent on a mission of discovery and exploration where no man has yet set foot."
I do have some more serious ideas though, but I'll write something another time.

it sure was fun so far, i liked the way we agreed to post our comments between eachother publicly instead of privately, i taught it was gonna get hairy there at one stage when Marian told me off
-
@Marian, we still gonna do the interior on this

The bridges for it yeah and maybe some corridors. I'm still thinking of a way to put in an external bridge, any ideas?
-
I think it's just great, you're pushing each-other to do things that otherwise it could take an eternity.
Good job you two ! -
Ha how about you take a spacewalk, theres your external bridge, thats for page 8

So you're designing me a spacesuit then.
-
Yeah this 1 doesnt need a helmet, state of the art
