cool forklift. maybe put something of a "crash cage" around the cockpit/engines? as for size, is a person about as tall as the windowish things on what I assume is the cockpit?

also, good to know you're still working on the Ozynator too. awesome animal.

Cargo ship is pretty cool! New engines look great. I particularly like the hexagon shape of the cargo pods. Are you thinking of arranging them in a honey comb pattern when you design the large cargo ship? Nice work man.

....

Thats a really good idea. Yes the cockpit is at the very top and is a 1 seater. So putting some sort of protection around it would be a good idea.

Thats exactly what I had in mind when I designed the pods. I like modular designs.

Thanx guys!

Thanx guys.
At last something new.... These resource ships need some sort of loading place right?

This is my idea for a resource processor. Smaller ships or robots, will bring chopped up sections of asteroids to those cages on the side, where an array breaks them down into the raw elements. Once processed the raw materials are transported to construction facilities for use in creating new and replacement parts for the fleet.

still need to build the loading area and add some more engines.

Thoughts?

a landing pad...similar to those you see on an oil rig...

I would suggest looking at pictures of oil rigs/LPG carries and so on...

Good suggestion!!

I was thinking something more like docks though.

traq · 01-11-2008, 06:02 AM

that dock is awesome.

Thanx man!!

at some point in the future I intend to use these ships as support craft for the shibenyath bases.
