I have a vision but fail to represent it for some reason...

Does the model even need wings?
we are in space and that thing isnt going to go down to planetary atmosphere Big Grin
just my view atm
Perhaps with no wings you can have more surface area for something like docking-bay details

Describe your vision, perhaps feedback on it might get you to build it as you want it Big Grin

There is no ship in FL that has aerodynamics better than brick. Nor there are any real wings to perform aerodynamic flight.

The only scientifically accurate ship out there is IMG battletransport, not joking.

I am currently attempting to make it.

http://p3d.in/GAVsS - 3.0.a
http://p3d.in/8yiVI - 3.0.s

Symmetric and asymmetric bridge, make your choice!
(this model is a merge of previous one and the one I did yesterday. Serenity was made this way either, there were numerous models that I have slapped one above another)


RE: Civilian carrier. WIP - Slayadok - 05-07-2016

3.0.a looks great


RE: Civilian carrier. WIP - Croft - 05-07-2016

3.0 a, the traffic control tower really makes it stand out.


RE: Civilian carrier. WIP - Epo - 05-07-2016

3.0a definitely.

You know what? You actually made me want to buy a bustard just to fly with your model. It means it's good, doesn't it?

Just add some hangars, like if the Bustard has 5 docking module slots, give it 3 hangars to represent 2x2 snubs being docked in 1st and 2nd and 5th one in 3rd one.

Well done, I'm looking forward to see it finished Smile


RE: Civilian carrier. WIP - Thyrzul - 05-07-2016

While I'm generally against asymmetry the solution in a feels more interesting than weird. I'd be fine with both kinds of bridges.

However it feels odd that those big things on the two sides of the ship below the bridge extend below the belly of the ship at that section. I feel it either shouldn't extend that far (should be smaller), or the belly of the ship should fill that gap.
