Third one looks pretty, I approve
RE: Concepts (3rd, transport) - Swallow - 05-17-2013
Don`t mention incomplete parts...It`s just a sketch like any other...But in 3D.
RE: Concepts (3rd, transport) - Swallow - 05-17-2013
When I get many sketches, I`ll make a poll on what design to finish as a what ship.

I like very much the first one. Also a sugestion that dunno if it's possible (due to proportions/sizes) but here it goes ...
What about empty the central part and put some cargo pots on it? It could need some modifications so dunno if it's a good idea and/or a lot fo work, take a look at the yellow zones in the below images this would be the part to "replace" with cargo pods, leaving the "duck" as a structure that loads the pods. (Edit: Oh the cargo pods should go in the transversal direction i guess, acording the space proportions)

Sorry if it's a bad idea, just came to my mind and i wanted to share it, I have never been a firefly captain for a long time so not sure if this would be a "sacrilege"
RE: Concepts (3rd, transport) - Narcotic - 05-18-2013
1. Firefly
2 GMG Ship?
3. Junker train
That's what comes to my mind on a first view. Like them all.

Sketches. Discuss.
Number 1 is definitely the Firefly replace we need.
2 would make a very nice GMG mid-sized transport.
The final, 3, would be an excellent Zoner 3,600 - failing that, throw it open as a generic Edge World transport.
Seriously though, less modellers making battleships and more making a variety of good transports is definitely something to be encouraged.
Hopefully we can beg someone to make some station components and unique stations next.
RE: Concepts (3rd, transport) - Swallow - 05-18-2013
Jinx proposed the last one as a Corsair transport (which could have been built with junkers' support).

I'd go with entirely new models for the bases gladly (maximum - three five components for variety, but not like it was made with .86 Gallian bases, which caused serious performance issues).

@Tibbles: Sorry, but no vanilla containers are in mind. Let's leave them to the vanilla trains.
I'd actually think of these, but there is too late to implement ship unification.
