Hello Forum!
It is I, Tzarro, returning with a new ship! Those few of you who remember my previous threads know that I have l left virtually all of my ships unfinished, but I'm trying my hand at a new design nontheless.
I have always admired Lantean (for those of you who don't know, I am referring to the "Ancients" in Stargate: Atlantis) design, so I've started work on a Lantean cruiser. This ship would probably be about 50% the size of an Aurora-class battleship. With my Atlas I had been aiming to create a hybrid of Human and Ancient design, while with this ship I am going for an all-out Lantean construction. I realize there are probably several features that don't exactly fit perfectly into Ancient ship design, but after seeing the Destiny from SG:U, I figure all bets are off :P. Regardless, I am trying to keep the design fairly in line with that seen in the Aurora-class ships.
C&C welcome, I hope you guys like it. I'll try to keep this thread updated.

Let's hope it can pack a punch.
I like this ship mainly because it is a similar design to the shuttles on the Destiny (which is a "old" Lantean design) and has a good presence about it
Considering the nature and size of this ship, I've decided that it could use something to fill a (vaguely) similar role to the Puddle Jumper. I've begun development of a small corvette-sized ship that serves as a detachable atmospheric, scouting and combat vessel. The Aphelion is designed for long range scouting and exploration with ample combat capabilities, so I figured it would only be fitting to have a smaller ship that could accentuate this role. Keep in mind, this is a very early model, and there is still a lot of work to be put into it, but here is my start:
