Zander Freighter - Microsoft Space Simulator

[Odyssey]

I always wanted to fly the Zander Freighter from Microsoft Space Simulator one more time. (Had the game when I was a kid, it was a little too advanced for me at the time though).

Zander Freighter (I've scoured the internet for photos, but came up with nothing) had an angular, somewhat small cockpit (think like the top half of the space shuttle's forward section, but more boxy) and then had a long, straight fuselage for the length of the ship leading to the main engines far at the rear. Cargo modules hung off the left and right of the fuselage in big orange tanks (shielded from forward debris by the wide cockpit) and could be added and discarded as needed.

The whole effect was a cross between 2001's Discovery and a freight train in space.

Any skilled modders up to the challenge?

I can try to make some drawings of what I remember of it. It's still fairly clear in my head.

I think the cockpit would be the trickiest bit. After that the basics would come together fairly clean.

The finished product would make a great mod for interplanetary delivery craft.

Memory's a funny thing I remember it looking better than it does, but that was of course a long time ago and even the most average of ksp mods looks so much better, and as for the colors, the stockalikers would have a fit

looks pretty stock alike... the brown, gray, and yellow/black. it's shipping RCS fuel.

Looks pretty similar to roverdudes new 5m freight parts, tbh

Yeesh!

Yeah, I was totally remembering that differently. I was trying to draw a 3-view today before I saw this. This is as far as I got.

Okay, clearly I had a different shape in mind. Something more like a cross between a space shuttle cockpit and a pickup truck cab.

Thanks SpannerMonkey for the trip down memory lane. Still, I think there's potential here, though I prefer the shape I had in my head.

SpannerMonkey - got anymore pics from MSS of the other ships? Callisto perhaps? or the ATL?

Thanks!

actually looks like the ship has been made already.
