Just a small and defenseless freighter with a few added bonuses.
I didn’t add a ton of greebling on purpose as to give it the annonomous
feeling that so many bulk freighters have. However, anyone who thinks they can
just stroll up and snatch a load of carge have another thing comming. With two
decks and a modderate cargo area, the design is popular with captians.
This is just a rough trial of using an all hidden weapon vessel. I hope to
build a larger and more detailed one once I can work out a few things. I would
like to hear what you think of this type of ship and how I could make it
better.

Ok, first thing dude, you need more pictures. I’d like to see some pics of the
two decks, and of the rest of the interior. And some of the ship from other
angles. This is a pretty big ship, and you just don’t have enough pics to get a
good feel for it.
So, I think you’re deffinately working with a good idea here. I think most of
your hatches look good, and they blend well into the lines of the ship, so
mission accomplished there. I think maybe your guns, and the mechanisms for
extending them could maybe use a little work. Also, it seems like using the side
guns would expose the cargo bay to vacum, which seems like a bad idea (though
this could just be a detail I a missing from the photos. One option I have been
considering for making concealed turrets that pop out is using shocks, so that
when you close the lid, you push it in, and compress the springs, then you open
it, and the turret pops up (this requires a pretty strong latch or magnets on
the hatch). Try this piece if you’ve
got any. This would allow you to get rid of the click hinges, which look a
trifle tacky.
Oh, and I find one of the best ways to learn how to do something in a post, is
to find it in a post, and hit the “view raw message” link above the reply
button. Also, the more link when creating a message is useful. ANd make sure
it’s set to FTX. Hope that helps. You can grab it from this sig, if you want:
