Description
"Vessels of the 1st Interstellar Mars Fleet escorted by fighters of the 28th Marine Orbital Fighter Squadron (28 MOFS) return to Earth for rearmament and crew evaluation after a 6 month deployment over Mars."---
With all the recent talk and establishment of the new U.S. Space Forceβ’, I felt inspired to make a little scene of something that we'll perhaps see in the distant future.

Damn epic work here - I like the simple but effective idea here - an ensign watching the fleet gather

Design Philosophy-Proposed during the time of the Phobs Crisis(2142) to take advantage of new breakthroughs in Plasma drive technology. Canned due to the prevailing idea of the superiority of heavily armored and turret armed craft it was later revisited when the Treaty of Phobos went into full effect, cutting off production of further Ares-class Dreadnoughts and Defender Superheavy Cruisers.
Was revived in a charge lead by then Commander of the Space Force Richard J Louis to radically rethink warship design philosophy. The proposal, Project Shepard, was revived then given the go-ahead for full design work to begin in 2152.
As a radical departure from the previous designs, the craft necessitated for all intents and purposes that every component and material be brand new and freshly developed. From its massive spinal Particle/Rail Cannon to its one of a kind Plasma Drive Core.New missiles, new laser turrets and brand new cutting edge active/passive armor and sensor systems.
Perhaps the most radical of these new systems was the MAIG, built around the ships spinal 3500mm cannon and powered by its magnetic inductors was an area where an artificial 1g gravity environment could be maintained even during the 5g burns during interplanetary travel.

I like how simple the ships are while still looking unique and believable, well done!

Only if you're on the losing side.

Gotta say this is pretty lovely. Though I'm pretty sure at some point the fleet would be removed the moment Mars declares independence

If you look closely at the picture it almost looks like a cutscene from an old video game

Outstanding as always! Makes me sad I will never see such a future with my own eyes.
Why do politicians not see the great potential in space like we do?
Edit: "Space Plagues"? Oh boy ... maybe we shouldn't be rushing into space afterall ... xD

Thanks man!
I agree with you, it's quite sad. I guess the main reason is there simply isn't enough money or a large enough interest in space exploration.
As for the space plagues, we can only hope they burn up during reentry!

While I don't have the time currently to work with someone on/for a game, I wish you luck with it!

Wait - what program did you use to make the ships?
π: 0 β©: 1
The linework and details of the ships were drawn in MS Paint, and shaded and colored in Paint.NET.

I suspected as much, but damn O___o
That's really amazing for Paint art.

you happen to have schematics of that thing or a 3D view of it?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I don't have any schematics of the ships, just the side profile used in the scene.
