Heavy puller, CF type

This is the first post about those unsung heroes of every space game out there. The cargo ships. The interplanetary shipping lanes are the irreplaceable veins where the freight, machinery and people flow and help colonies flourish. Without the haulers, pushers, pullers, barges, trampers and blockade runners, the universe as we know it would come to a standstill.

Asteroid Base

For a change, I designed a large structure: a starbase carved in a large asteroid. The orange part is the large docking bay area, where ships too large for the interior can dock. The diameter of the inner bay is more than 400 meters, to give you a sense of scale.

Silent Blade starfighter Part II

 This is the second post about the heavy starfighter Silent Blade. It is currently textured with a non-specific (read generic) 1024x texture. The results are mixed. I will probably try to make a texture specific to the object soon.

HummingBird Starfighter part I

Hello all. After another short hiatus, this blog once more forges forward !

    Below is the near-finished humming bird star-fighter, a very classic take at our beloved and highly unlikely little space fighters. Starfighter is a lot sexier than short-range autonomous manned interceptor kill vehicle, so we will stick to the less elaborate but slightly more appealing naming, shall we ? :)

Myasishchev Крокодил transport part II

The Myasishchev M-85 has been christened 'Crocodile' (Крокодил) by the troops due to its long nose and large mouth. The unofficial name stuck pretty well because the aircraft proved to have larger teeth than expected.

I remodeled this aircraft since the first post, to give it a pseudo-stealth shape with cut-diamond faces.

Ganymedian light cruiser part I

Below is a typical example of how fast the Ganymedian yards have caught up with their inner planet's counterparts. This vessel is intended as a fast commerce raider: what it cannot outgun it can outrun.
