Hey all, been awhile since I've posted, well, anything.
This is the Starseer-class deep-space vessel
Hyperion. Some backstory on this is I've been working on a scifi universe of my own since I was about 15, and I figured it was high-time to see the titular spacecraft in 3D. I'll post the basic synopsis of the ship's story if anyone's interested.
At any rate, I'm getting ready to go back to the basic shape and work my way back up. I'm not happy with a lot of the shapes and much of the detail work, and so I'm going to scrap a good chunk of this version and start over. Before I do, though, I thought I'd share some of what I've already got before I rip it to pieces. :devil:

but i like the look of it anyway lol...
the front grid is way too large, in scale of the rest...
maybe you'd like to un-bsg the flight pod...
the global shape is good.
I see you got a bit of inspiration from Galactica. Would be interesting to see two versions: one for your own universe, and another one for Galactica. Think about it.
I'm trying to figure out what the flight pods should look like, without them being too BSG-ish. The thing about that though is Galactica's A-shaped landing bay kind of makes aeronautical sense. It encloses the bay somewhat, while allowing birds to "wave off". Hmmm... Any suggestions on where to look to get some ideas for what these flight pods should look like? (If it helps, within the storyline, the pods were added into the design very late in the game. They are literally an afterthought, and therefore a rushed design.)
Bye
Did a little detail work, as well as added a bit to the nose.
Can't wait to see this Ship, when she's Finished.
