Now that looks industrial

[fickle mauve]

It's aegis, armored transport

I've been doing more detail recently, so compared interiors and comp access

This one of my favorite tho, aegis shearwater

[cursive crystal]

See the sabre in it

I have yet to do aegis. Their style is difficult to pin down

[fickle mauve]

They follow multiple styles

There's sabre-vanguard-tali style, hammerhead-idris-jav-claimer style, and then some stragglers

There's also vanguard-redeeemer style lol

Vanguard and deemer is new tech and style Ig

So I guess splitting between old and new tech, and then by large or smaller

[jaunty crypt]

600i + Millenium Falcon = Milleniumi.

[cursive crystal]

I hit a block with the drake boarder so threw together Anvil medium salvage / cargo. 192 SCU.

closer image

[fickle mauve]

Cool idea, I think maybe the printer should be near the back tho

The bridge overlooking the deck is cool

Maybe a counterweight on the claw possibly

[cursive crystal]

Thanks. Why at the back? I put at the front to make it quicker to offload and easier for the tractor turrets to reach.

one thing not shown but an idea was to put printer controls in the bridge, so the turrets can move boxes rather than go down to do it manually

[fickle mauve]

I mean 1. So you could hide the mechanicals more easily, and potentially add those cells the vulture has up in the front along the arms

Also maybe just for weight distribution if cig ever does that

Tractors could be on rails potentially too

Wait no those are salvage heads nvm

[cursive crystal]

i put the salvage heads on rails lol. If the game has magic metal melting beams that sucks up ship skin then putting them on rails is not a stretch

[fickle mauve]

You got a deck layout for it? I was bored in my class and was thinking up of some

[cursive crystal]

yeah i have rough idea for it. rear has a big room for salvaged components/weapons. Upper area is crew

two bunk rooms on left, captain area and a small dining area on right

[fickle mauve]

I might try thinking up of some later potentially, I got a boring day lol

Having a hard time on my little snub thing too

[fickle mauve]

So it's 3 crew?

I'm sketching up an idea atm but it looks pretty big

[prime rock]

oh thats much larger than I thought it was lol

[fickle mauve]

Here's where I'm at with the mockup

Having trouble what to put on the top deck

But bottom has the 2 cargo holds, then next to it is comp access

After that is armor racks on the left, elevator at the back, engineer terminal in front of the part of the wall pushed forward, and a gun rack and ladder to top deck on right

Thought an airlock/docking port might fit on the top there so that's what the nub is

[cursive crystal]

Moved the dispenser as I needed space for the ramp. Threw on some paint, added details, and got the interior blocked out. https://i.imgur.com/2mc6seb.gifv

[fickle mauve]

Very cool

[fickle mauve]

Just an idea, but maybe having 2 elevator systems to prevent direct access to the bridge from engineering (or surface), maybe even by just making one of the elevators only go from engineering to crew, and then crew to bridge

Just cause anvil likes that safety feature like on valk

[cursive crystal]

Since it's a salvage ship, folks need to get outside quickly so both elevators go to the surface/space. I considered the roof but not much up there

occasionally folks need to pop out and grab components/weapons, or explore what they are salvaging before tearing it up

[fickle mauve]

I do agree there, but they'd probably have to get suited up somewhere first before they do, so they wouldn't need a direct line to the surface or engineering

What could be done tho is surface to engineer elevators at the back, and then maybe just an additional wall between that main elevator line and the bay to help mental separate the spaces

[cursive crystal]

possibly. There is a engineering crawlspace, not sure how visible it is. I was gonna touch that place up though more since I was gonna put some components down there

[fickle mauve]

Yeah I saw that, I was thinking maybe weapon and armor racks but maybe inconvenient to get to

It's good to bridge both sides of engineering together through it

[cursive crystal]

a while back i visited a ship IRL and am gonna go for this vibe down there

I will use some carrack engine room assets but since it's industrial versus exploration, may make it a bit .. rougher

[fickle mauve]

Would be cool for there to be a catwalk above the salvage deck, kinda like reclaimer

Could be accessible from the middeck through an airlock, or just only access from the salvage deck via ladders

Potentially useful for salvage head changing

[cursive crystal]

yeah that's the idea. There might be some ladders, catwalks, and crawlways back there besides that main one

I have been watching the engineering gameplay coming out of evo, so could toss some relays back there

that and I kinda want to make it so you see the rmcbox coming down a chute before it goes outside

[fickle mauve]

There's that space on the inside by the elevators, could see it maybe drop down or something through windows in there

[runic pier]

Hi yes is this the certified jpeg owner club?

[ivory stump]

no that would be #1116450833970774067

[fickle mauve]

This is where I draw stuff and stoic cooks up masterpieces

😭 stoic left again

[fickle mauve]

Been sketching up quick ideas for station reworks inspired by the UGFs, this is a pad area

I have a cargo deck one but its very ugly (has labels tho)

Nothing to scale obv

[fickle mauve]

Doing outposts/mining areas now, built a normal sized one and a settlement type one

The smaller pads and hangar thing are Connie sized, and the big box at the back is a sort of storage facility (maybe having like a small interior, but mainly just a prop to help sell the believability)

Trynna make them feel more lively, as well as more missions for them, like bombing the storage center

Some would have armistice, some wouldn't, like distros

[eternal cloud]

I've actually been doing the same thing lol, I am so excited for outposts

[hushed relic]

This is the current progress on an ARGO Starter ship I′m currently working on. Still early graybox phases but some detail work is getting started with the engines and landing gear. Calling it the ARGO STARGO for now. Let me know what you think!

[fickle mauve]

Funnily enough I've done nearly the exact same thing not in 3d tho

[hushed relic]

Hahaha! Thats nice! Mines shaping up to be about cutter sized but still be able to hold 16scu because its a bit of a wide boy

[fickle mauve]

Nice

I designed this one to hold a roc, cause ships that can hold a roc are way too expensive

[fickle mauve]

Is it a physical bay or suspended like raft?

[hushed relic]

Physical

[fickle mauve]

I'm a lil unhappy with my design cause of the main body not being very argo

[hushed relic]

Mines still graybox but i′ll share the detail work on the body once I get started on it. Gonna be working on the landing gear tonight and will share that. The blocky shape isnt what I want either but like I said, basic graybox

[fickle mauve]

Kewl

As you can see tho, it's mostly just me in here and stoic every now and then who's a real pro at it

[ivory stump]

ngl that shape is giving me vulcan vibes

[fickle mauve]

Vulcan shouldve been argo anyways

[ivory stump]

😂

Your not wrong

[fickle mauve]

Doing 3 things at once is a doozy idk which to focus on

[fickle mauve]

Been cooking on a 336 scu argo ship

Still not really sure if I totally like the design but I'm this far in so

[jaunty crypt]

It’s cute. The back is the problem though. Make it triangular, give it some wings and it will be good.

[fickle mauve]

Argo doesn't do wings, and I tried a triangular shape but that looked too much like mole

[jaunty crypt]

Argo bad. How fix the back then?

[fickle mauve]

This looks like it's really long, but it's only like a little longer than a 32 scu box

[fickle mauve]

This has taken me way too dang long to get to this point

And it's just a big Pisces lol

[jaunty crypt]

Aegis/Anvil Arrowhead.

[fickle mauve]

It's anvil, supposed to be medical but I'm making a default one first

[fickle mauve]

Got the interiors done mostly

Gotta label stuff and then make all the other angles

[eternal cloud]

Looks like an airliner

I would buy it as an airliner

[fickle mauve]

Honestly

I do semi-plan for it to be a little modular

My goal for this ship really is to just have as much functionality and interesting kinks to it

[fickle mauve]

Dang I could double stack scu in this thing and it'd be pretty proportional

Think I'll still stick with only one scu layer tho

[fickle mauve]

Yeah ngl this might be as far as i get

Burned out from needing to be thorough

[fickle mauve]

Working on two things atm but the other is just a cargo grid atm, so I'll show this progress

[fickle mauve]

I'll show this now too since it's more than just a rectangle, will have genesis style Wings and is a redo of the thing in the corner

[sinful dawn]

The ship we will never see

😭

Biggest capital ship rn I’m pretty sure

[jaunty crypt]

Nope. Javelin, Kraken, Hull E, and Orion are bigger.

[sinful dawn]

Dam

Ik that this one is 239M

[jaunty crypt]

Smol.

[eternal cloud]

Working on some 3d models of some of the structures seen at Citcon to help plan some bases before they’re released (not currently at scale)

[jaunty crypt]

Make a site?

[eternal cloud]

I wish there was a site for it

[jaunty crypt]

Make one?

[eternal cloud]

I’m not that talented

[fickle mauve]

seems fun

[fickle mauve]

This where I'm at with this, progress is slow

I never said what it is but it's a banu mini merchantman, 16 scu (the cargo in the middle is just so I know it fits in the ship)

Struggling with where to put the shop desk

[magic junco]

i started conceptualizing a large MISC ship based off of the yb47 flying wings from ww2

[cursive crystal]

Hmm no one has posted here in a while. Anyway. I am slowly reworking the Osprey to being flight ready in Microsoft Flight Sim

[ivory stump]

that would be such a cool lil combat transport like a quin jet

or even mini pelican
