Spaceship (Collaborative Project)

I just had lunch

Marian

You are the guilty party....how can a bridge look like a pimple with a small pitch?

iichiversii

Ok a hemisphere shape but not with a high pitch, does that make sense?

Marian

Sort of...though I don't particularly like the bridge in the form. It would sort of be like the Star Trek ones.

iichiversii

It would yes, this is a hard 1 to decide,

iichiversii

Wait I have an idea, I'll make some thing later, this idea might work

Marian

iichiversii

I diffenately have an idea, think it may work, will post tonight

Marian

Great...I sure hope it's not another pimple.

iichiversii

what about a wart

Marian

That's better.

iichiversii

Heres what i got for you, didnt end up with a bridge, dont know what happened

Marian

It's not bad, I like it. I thought at first that you deleted the back section or modified what was there. That bridge bit is very blended it works very well.

iichiversii

See what you can do with it, maybe ad a bridge

I like the idea of a joint project venture, and I like spaceships. But I had a different concept. A bit crazy. Well, it goes like this, star travel takes several years (I don't believe in warp speed) centuries maybe. Zero grav, apart some living areas with artificial grav, no air friction, so you won't need sreamlined shapes. And practically unlimited resources and computing capabilities. You redesign your spaceship with SU, and zillions of maintenance and repair robots and microbots go out and rebuild it. You got constrictions, the main living area, the nuclear plant far away from it, and a very long linear engine for propulsion. But then you can design and build whatever you want, a gothic cathedral with spires irradiating in 12 directions 360 degrees round, towers and flying bridges and buttresses, gargoyles etc. The whole thing can be extremely lightweight, no significant weight or stress on the structure (acceleration and deceleration will be only fractions of a G), but will appear solid and textured. I'll try something on those lines someday ...
