CYBERSPACE SHIPYARDS

[DeepspaceMechanic]

The spoiler just makes me laugh. It make no sense at all but it does fit the ship design.

I know, right? :D

I showed the ship to my brother, and we agreed that we probably played too much Need for Speed games as kids

Although, this ship is meant to be able to enter and fly in planetary atmospheres, where the spoiler would have an aerodynamic effect (likely a catastrophic one, lol).

I feel like the 'spoiler' would make sense for fine attitude adjustments to level flight in atmosphere as thrust vectoring via the pods might be to aggressive.

A turkish spice bazaar. (Mineral dump)
And a medical cocaine dispensary. (Ice melting dump)

Finished this ship around the same time I got through all three seasons of the Dark Matter series it drew inspiration from, indirectly.


Here's a shot of the new Isaac-class hovercraft resting in the (unfinished) shipyard of the MIC-583 mobile industrial complex.




Isaac's core room -- asymmetrically layed out within the interior, with its own set of windows -- is one of the most atmospheric I ever built.

I fully intend to reproduce this ship, in its exterior entirety, in StarMade.

Can't tell why, it just seems doable and worthwhile.

(It's a random warship model of a certain "Ferrous Corp" from the Dark Matter series, took the screenshots for later inspiration)

Spoiler: Progress so far

Stay tuned for much, much more.

 

[Tshara]

Some decent progress ;-)
At least more than I managed to do in the last couple of weeks.

 

[DeepspaceMechanic]

Stay tuned for much, much more.

This time I somehow slipped into a side-project even before starting the new main project.

Spoiler: And it comes with a surprise

 

[DeepspaceMechanic]

Needs a few more frontal outputs...

Spoiler: A second surprise, however, is already included/inserted

 

[jontyfreack]

ooh that's a nice ship you got there

 

[DeepspaceMechanic]

I hate the process of exterior micro-detailing as much as I love building fresh, new hulls. Very tedious.

But after the 100th piece of nonsense added, it's done. And it's worth it.

Will whip put it out soon.

Inspired by the racing ship build challenge, but not intended to enter.
(Obviously fails to meet the criterion "your entry has to appear to be a functional solar system racer")
