    And the ship you were asked to make, I notice

    But this is cool, I cannot imagine the scale of the completed ship!

    I enjoyed the update as it progresses very well thought out structure design as well the Royal Imperial command has "taken" great interest in the technology you presented, If you need any "security" for the project don't hesitate to ask! :)

    Here is the current progress of the Caldari Hookbill. I'm sorry its taking a long time but it was final exam season the past month or so.



    Monocolor for now, but ive been working on the windows and such along with the shape.

    Can you build the Caldari Titan?

    It is a request by me. The Caldari Navy Hookbill is a special hard to acquire frigate that when properly fitted can easily destroy cruisers.

    I would assume that it's venting into what is technically an exterior section, even though it isn't very exposed. Those are excellent turbines, by the way.

    however... from an engineering and logistics perspective... there are four turbines with clockwise blades and four turbines with counter-clockwise blades. This means you have to manufacture, ship, and store twice as many blades, and keep track of them during the entire process, making logistics more complicated. It bothers me solely from an engineering perspective (not aesthetic in the slightest)

    it's like that because it is going to be connected by a geartrain to a high rpm generator, meaning that all of the turbines are meshed with their gears and takes the stress of the high rpm gearing and spreads it out over all eight with all of them linked to spin at the same speed. (at least that's what i envision conceptually. think 8-cylinder engine.)

    the real reason why is because this is starmade and symmetry mode lets me be lazy.
