    I'm working on a new warpdrive/explorer ship, and I have (in my opinion) made a decent looking front so far. what I do have a problem with so far is how to build the rest of the ship. I dont want it to look too "star-trek'y", and it's inspired by the NASA warpdrive concept ship.
    I'm also Quite a big fan of long sleek designs.

    Right now it sort of looks like a ray fish, but I want to make it longer. If anyone have any advice, inspiration, or opinion, I would love to hear from you!

    Nice looking. Have you begun filling it in yet or is it just an empty hull?[DOUBLEPOST=1417647613,1417647550][/DOUBLEPOST]And what are the current dimensions?

    Add a rather bulky part at the end and then attach some warp nacelles to it.

    Is it just me, or does that look like the slug cruiser from FTL?

    its currently just an empty hull, but I plan on making a quite cool interior to it once the exterior is done.

    Go for the semi-circle design and add two extra engines on the back of the dish. Be sure to put a bunch of scanner-looking details on the ship: antennaes, satellite dishes and so on. If you want it to look a bit more NASA-like, try adding some blue circuit boards for solar pannels on top of the ship. Also, the ship's design looks similar to that of aliens from Xenonauts.
