    This is basically just a mirror of my CC post. I'm putting it here because I'd prefer the ship gets used by someone rather than gathering dust on the metephorical shelf, and I think the shipyard gets a lot more traffic than CC:


    A ship with a theme of a skull and spine (doesn't literally look like them). Heavily inspired by 2D docked profile views of ships in Deuteros. I like organic looking ships.

    Unfinished - I just don't have the time, with work and young kids, and this design is very fiddly. Approximately two thirds of exterior done.

    180m long.

    Designed to carry a docked pod that straddles its middle segment between rings, like a saddle. Would have made a drone carrying pod first, but anything else also possible.

    The engines mounted at rear are in correct location, but aren't intended to be left like that, they were just there for testing.

    Almost no systems are fitted (some extremely minimal basic stuff there)

    No internals - just a hollow shell. The three large rings were intended to be filled, probably would have been either thrusters or shields.

    If I'd had time would have also created a 3 pod version (7 spine segments) using just this model copy pasted, and also a 6 pod version using an entirely new, more alien, design.

    Feel free to use this in any way you like - it would be nice to be given a "...based on external design by Jojomo" or similar and a link back here though.
    Even better, also post links to your results here, I'd love to see them!
