   Very well done! My only criticism is the amount of space afforded to the crew, it seems a tad unrealistic given the size of the ship. I am quite taken by the simple, boxy modularity of your design. The model as a whole is asthetically pleasing and looks to be sturdy and playable.

Thanks for the reply Joseph! Glad you like the overall shape (I’m still questioning if it was the right approach, myself).

As for the issue of space given to the crew, I’m not quite sure what you mean... Did I provide too much space or not enough? Or are you talking about how much space I allocated percentage wise, compared to other systems and utilities (i.e. weapons, fuel, engines, electronics, etc.)?

If you could elaborate I’d be very glad to respond.

Thanks again.

I apologize for my unclear response, I was in a hurry at the time. It seemed to me that an overly large space was alloted for crew use on such a small capital craft. Looking at the ship again I can see that it has all the necessary features outside the hull (engines, weaponry, sensors).

-Joseph

Oh, that’s what I thought you meant. Thanks for clarifying it anyway. :-)

In some ways I agree with you though. I think it was Jeremy Sproat, or someone else that I can’t recall precisely, who said that a certain percentage of a spaceship should be devoted to engines, life support, etc. With that concept in mind, I think the Vanguard has engines that are too small, and not enough space allocated for fuel tanks, water & food storage, and life support systems.

So your criticism is well founded.
