Assymetrical?  I'm on board.

This is a great job Travis....the design is original and functional.  You've
managed to smooth and curve out what could be in danger of being a boxy
shape into a fine light hauler.

The sideways orientation of the canopy works wonders (got it in that config
myself on a current project...beat me to the punch!), and the cargo boom is
well rounded out by those stepped SNOT plates.

I could easily see this modified into a pirate frieghter as well.

Great stuff.

Cheers,

The massive offset power plants are milled from our newly developed
Duplonium© alloy.  In testing, the these twin monsters devoured the Leggel
Run in the blistering speed of 11.5 larsecs.  With a full load of  4
palettes of Duplonium©!

Our wrap around bridge encircles the captain and crew consisting of a single
droid. The payload bay environmental controls and monitors (sorry, out of
sight) are located in the front of the bridge area adjacent to the bay to
the right of the newly designed virtual helm navigation systems which are
positioned in front of the main portal. The life support systems are located
aft on the port side, and the engine controls are opposite in the starboard
rear.

The interior of the living area sports a small kitchenette with storage for
provision and a combined prep station and sanitation area.  Opposite this
are captains sleeping quarters.  And the convex main hatch is located
directly between the two of the starboard side.

The enormous payload bay features a massive top hatch for large freight that
requires a crane while smaller items on palettes can be remove via the
vaulted front hatch.  The bay itself is lined with an electromagnet palette
casting system that move palettes in and out of  the cargo area with little
friction and no pulling or pushing equipment, saving the ship from the
weight of a mechanical roller system and simultaneously securing the
palettes securely to the bay.

So next time your thinking you need something somewhere far, in something
fast.  Think Extraglobal Starmaster Service.
