[QUOTE=Sims_doc;40820761]With the lift system down below it looks like the CMS Terra Nova. [B]- Edit[/B] Damn Now i have to make a forest. But i'm unsure of were to start. Because air production is everything.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I am planning on having that as the only way in/out of the engines area.
What is with you people and using puny plants as an oxygen supply? Just use reserve air tanks and atmospheric filtration like all the cool starships.
*Scrubbed*
Plants don't really have the oxygen output to sustain an entire crew of 15 or more. Possibly even less. I mean, if plants were truly so effective at producing oxygen, they would include forests in the ISS so they wouldn't have to send them more breathable air with the other materials they need.
Okay, I really need help. Can someone help me with my hanger? I am completely lost on how to make the layout good right now. perhaps if you can seperate the hanger and the train, that would be good too. [img]http://puu.sh/33oPQ.png[/img] If you feel you can make the layout better by moving the train up behind the bars there, feel free. I really can't come up with any solutions that look good. (BE AWARE THAT THE METAL PILLARS THAT HANG DOWN IN THE MIDDLE -ARE- IN THE FRONT OF ANY IMAGING EDITING YOU DO.) Otherwise, I am working on crew quarters/medbay/storage.

Hydrogen fuel cells are actually legitimate in current space travel. They produce power through the reactions of hydrogen and oxygen by harnessing such energy. If you know your chemistry, water is a "waste" product and is produced in ample amounts.
Yeah, I was banned. You guys don't mind if I use my old blueprint to make a ship, even if it ends up much larger than the Ishimura? EDIT: Also on that note I'll keep a running record of every ship made to compare sizes, ship class, etc.
Go ahead
I am going to work on my ship. Lets see if I can clean up everything. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] Ship's docking port has been completely re-worked. Brilliant!
[IMG]http://i.cubeupload.com/9PS90X.png[/IMG] Added a primary hydrogen inlet at the front of the ship.
Maybe i should a massive cargo ship.
[QUOTE=oskutin;40832408]Maybe i should a massive cargo ship.[/QUOTE] But really, what good would that do? Do a science/food production ship. Then we can be concerned about cargo.
[QUOTE=Zombie_2371;40832583]But really, what good would that do? Do a science/food production ship. Then we can be concerned about cargo.[/QUOTE] Import goods from The Earth and export resources. Large transport capacity allows us to colonize fast.
[img]http://puu.sh/343tf.png[/img] Update, working considerably on this. Thinking about making the train just a tunnel.

WOW, I was gone for a few days and you guys got Busy. Anyways, I really like where you are taking it, and I hope that the Ishimura is not done yet because there is a lot of negative space in the hangar as well as some of the hallways. Also, are we doing strictly interiors? because I feel like it would be nice to have an outer shell just for presentation's sake.

Rough outline of a ship, not to scale at all, just a quick 5 second thing to show what I'm working on, should act as a carrier/cruiser along the same lines as the BC-304 from stargate, based off something I made in spacebuild. [thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/LxPb4M.png[/thumb] did I mention its VERY rough version
*Scrubbed*
[QUOTE=Sims_doc;40861986]I've lost my objectivity, Dose anyone want to work on a cargo ship with me? Like Design Wise. Its still in its rough stages.[/QUOTE] Sure, I'd be more than happy to. As for initial input I would recommend, keeping everything vertically compact. Also if I could draw anything I would use mostly straight and 45 degree lines, just because they are easier to work with. By vertically compact I mean make the top and bottom only just tall enough for a single person, say 20px. For all the other personnel areas, I would keep it the same height with long horizontal hallways. If I were to work on it I would make mostly rectangular shapes with 45 degree bevels on all of the edges. On an unrelated note, you have a lot of negative space in cargo bays, especially when compared to some of your hallways. I would recommend making a couple crate sprites and then copying and organizing them. If you would like me to do any portion of it or give any examples of what I'm talking about, just say the word.

pwachow! an outline of how I think it should go, I hope I didn't stray too far from your original design. [IMG]http://i1303.photobucket.com/albums/ag145/Porcuponic/fzA8PSL_zpsa1ca024f.png~original[/IMG] am I the only one who doesn't like the plants on space ships?
What if the [url=http://asn.epfl.ch/files/content/sites/asn/files/Anim/DamBreak_001.gif]liquid cargo walls break[/url] while [url=http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m54snnhpmZ1rphd0c.gif]you're sleeping[/url]...
there are emergency super condensed sponges in the shooper shecret compartment. but actually I was thinking like tanks, pipes and silos in there not just a room flooded with... mysterious liquids.

Hmm. That post makes me question; is our crew limited to just humans, or could we throw in more strange aliens into the mix?
You can have any race you wish, even robots.
Awesome. I'll have to make an edit, then. [IMG]http://imageshack.us/a/img268/8867/crew3l.png[/IMG] Replaced those teeny drones with the Vei-Mos. A form of cybernetic/synthetic lifeforms who are extremely intelligent in the fields of technology and psychic manipulation. They work in the larger ships, fulfilling crew positions that are considered too dangerous for frail human bodies, as well as engineering positions.

The TMT Persuant is currently in construction [img]http://i.imgur.com/HVHPyGt.png[/img] The Terzone Manufacturing Corporation would like to invite you to take a tour of the new Persuant Class Freighter. Thank you, and have a nice day!
