The engines look weak. I suggest recessing that center plate and putting a
couple of wheels or cylindrical elements in there to suggest large engine
openings. The dishes you currently have don’t suggest power or engines at
all, IMO.
The landing legs look really wimpy on a ship of this size. I suggest doubling
them up so they’re at least 2-wide... and put some nice big feet on them.

I tend to agree...I’ve really grown to like larger engine areas...and after
seeing Dan Jassim’s Dragonstar I am pretty much convinced that it can be done
properly. For smaller ships, I think Dan’s star shuttle is another good example
of cases where you don’t have much space for engines: Just place them out the
outside!

The landing gear should be A LOT bigger given the presumed mass of the ship.
But I agree that they should pull into the fuselage. If this is a landing
craft, thent here should be banks of landing thrusters as well for a full VTOL
effect.

| (...) Hi Nathan. I think this ship is a good start, but it sort of looks to me like it's not finished. The interior is nicely detailed, which is good, but the exterior needs work. I don't understand the hatch in the front with the bridge. It doesn't (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jul-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build, FTX)
