cool forklift. maybe put something of a "crash cage" around the cockpit/engines? as for size, is a person about as tall as the windowish things on what I assume is the cockpit?
also, good to know you're still working on the Ozynator too. awesome animal.
Cargo ship is pretty cool! New engines look great. I particularly like the hexagon shape of the cargo pods. Are you thinking of arranging them in a honey comb pattern when you design the large cargo ship? Nice work man.

Thats a really good idea. Yes the cockpit is at the very top and is a 1 seater. So putting some sort of protection around it would be a good idea.

Thats exactly what I had in mind when I designed the pods. I like modular designs.
Thanx guys.
At last something new.... These resource ships need some sort of loading place right?
This is my idea for a resource processor. Smaller ships or robots, will bring chopped up sections of asteroids to those cages on the side, where an array breaks them down into the raw elements. Once processed the raw materials are transported to construction facilities for use in creating new and replacement parts for the fleet.
still need to build the loading area and add some more engines.
Thoughts?
Thanx guys.

that looks great, you should maybe array a few of them around a central structure.

As Meph said those new engines suit your ship very nicely
New ship, this one is a little loading craft, like a great big forklift for outer space.
Ozylot do you not sleep?:D
You cargo ships sorta reminds me of a resource gatherer for one of the sides in HM1...
Keep them coming. :thumb:
Are you thinking of this ship?
It may have had a part in influencing the design.
Thanx guys.
Ice-Dragon: I try not to sometimes, but it happens anyway :cool:
Thanx! That means a lot to me.
And a bit of an update, the robot cat/dog thing is updated and can be seen here

(and if I'm duplicating someone's post, oops, there are, afterall TWENTY some odd pages of comments!)
btw - great job

I would suggest looking at pictures of oil rigs/LPG carries and so on...
Good suggestion!!
I was thinking something more like docks though.
at some point in the future I intend to use these ships as support craft for the shibenyath bases.

I had considered something like that before. The problem with that would be making it mobile, unless it had tugs pulling it around everywhere.
How about U.S.S. Ruhr
"Holy saucer batman!!"
Well, it was just an idea...
thumbs up for the resource processor.
