Awesome man it looks great :) id give ya some rep but ive given you too much recently haha

So is it functional or just aesthetics done at the moment?

Nah, just aesthetics right now and some SAS and power generation. I'll probably stick some RCS on it for easy manoeuvring but I guess I could hide some engines in it for infinite fuel use. The only thing is the impulse engine is quite high and wouldn't be along the centre of mass so it might look a bit weird with rocket exhaust in other places to compensate. Also, I just realised the schematic I went with is the Nova refit which the USS Rhode Island was based on. At least it's canon I suppose.

Pretty much finished. Just need to think about what it's gonna carry in its cargo.

It flies very well in stock, I had to clip 4 delta deluxe winglets at the back though

Jaw drop.

Have you considered a career with Shuttlecraft Systems Inc.? :P

Seriously awesome spaceship. How well she fly? You can glow nacelles with well placed blue lights I suppose. Maybe add a horizontal gap in your nacelles for effect.

Thanks for the compliment! I've added some engines inside near the ends of the saucer section tips. It's not where the impulse engines are supposed to be but at least it moves in space. She flies OK but the part count is about 640 and lags a little. She glides quite well too although with no active control surfaces she's going to hit the ground.

I've added lots of aesthetic tweaks and will release her possibly tomorrow. I think I have an idea for the nacelle lighting but it's going to get fiddly. Sadly no shuttle bay although there is kind of room inside. Maybe in the future.

I'm starting a new line of sci-fi warships. I've begun with a tech demonstrator:

I'm going to try and upgrade the design over time, making larger, crewed ships with the same overall layout. Wish me luck!

I love the ions like that!


Redshift! Your Nova! Brutal! Want!

Can't give more rep!

The big core on that Energia looks great! Is that 8-way symmetry?

Aftera few hours of messing with Dasoccer's Blender plugin:

Sorry don't know how to add textures yet.

Very cool, I'd like it to be simpler to use though, like just a 3d converter from a craft file.

There must be a bug. Youtube will only allow me to like Inigma's video once. :*(

I don't what was more amazing. The build, the video or the story of what you went through to rescue this ship from your persistence file!

LOL. Thank's Redshift. Most amazing compliment too. :) Just for that I'll be sure to cameo you in the next film credits I make! :D Glad you like the craft, and the vid, and story.
