Description
This is something I started ages ago, and I've really struggled to figure out what to do with it. I have to admit that I have mixed feelings even now. I'm mostly pleased with it, but finding time and inspiration has been difficult. After getting sick and not being able to do much else, I found myself sitting at the computer tinkering in a very listless kind of way, and eventually I dabbled with this some more. It's meant to be a very short-range transport, moving people from one orbiting station to another.
Feel free to comment, suggestions would definitely be helpful with this one!
I hope you all had a good weekend.

I don't know, it looks pretty cool to me. If you want to change stuff up, maybe external fuel tanks? Or put it in a scene next to one of your space stations to get a sense of scale.
doing good with this sci-fi
a futuristic bar mixer? just kidding. nice ship design. recently read new report on neutrino going faster than light. possible explanation is their taking a short cut though the another dimension. I wonder how long before we get warp drive.
Fine modeling, Mike. This would look great flying over a futuristic cityscape.
Well, I hope you're feeling much better now, Mike! I really can't see where any improvement is needed - this looks great as is. Maybe a view of Earth in the background, or perhaps a space station, but it looks awesome just as it is!
I agree with the others,I can't see anything I would change...another fine example of Bryce modelling!
I think it's fantastic as is! Beautiful model! Corrie
Was this modelled in bryce ? Whoaw, impressive ! Really a great model, nothing to change for me .
wonderful space station, great modeling
Outstanding vehicle.
Excellent work!
Nicely done!
Well sorry for being the only one to criticize, but I find it looks more like a space station than a ship to me... Maybe because of the solar panels, or the cylinder shape... But that's not bad at all! ;)
Looks great!
Awesome ship model!!! :)
Most Xcellent detailed conceptual flying machine idea!
looks like a fine interplanetary design to be. I like the solar panels.
Wonderful space scene and vehicle!! As for suggestions, maybe adding the orbiting station. Either way, wonderful work!!
Hmm...the only thing it seems to be missing is radio-communications gear kind of stuff. I'd expect that stuff might be on a boom, but who knows. Not like there's a lot of examples to study.
I can see it as a "commuter vehicle", it is much smaller than your huge transports~ Sorry to hear you've been ill. Not ever a good time for that. I hope your realm has come back to normalcy and good health~ =)
It looks pretty sharp to me.
I like the way this has a kind of sleekness to it, but it's still a wholly-convincing shape. One doesn't need a sleek vessel to move through a vacuum, but the placement of components really works well with me. Of course, if you wanna "shake things up" a bit...put it next to a Nemaean medium range cruiser. (Of course, then, you wouldn't see it, but I guarantee that the crew and passengers of this vessel will be shaken, especially since the Nemaeans aren't likely to bother with something like actually communicating with the vessel. They'll just loom and do cryptic things. Ah, but that's just me. Hopefully, you're feeling better, and if you ever feel to urge to listlessly tinker with things, feel free, as the result shown here is super!
VERY COOOOL
