Description
More design exploration for my original setting, this time a large commercial cargo ship.Β The rear section of the central hull is extended to include expanded internal storage bays.I think I've just about got the spaceships worked out of my system for the moment.

A more tech question now : how are the front sections terminating the containers stacks attached to the main hull ? I would think that, either the containers stacks provide structural strength by themselves and there is no need for an end-of-stack hull-like structure, or they are attached to a support truss between the main hull and the end-of-stack structure. In the 2nd case, there should be some kind of support truss and I see none. Or is it the black band inward of the containers stacks ?

Very inspiring design, combining a great look and a very realistic feel.
I would like to use inspiration from it for making a freighter for Hoshikaze 2250. I would remake it in 3D using DoGA-CGA, then render sprites for inserting it into our EV-like open-source freely downloadable videogame. The only obvious change I would make are to replace thrust engines by warp ones according to Hoshikaze tech-and-physics setting. Of course, I would quote your name and include a link to this page as part of the SoC authors readme.
Do you authorize me to do that ? Thanks in advance and no problem if not possible...

Looks like what would happen if the UNSC adapted the Spirit Dropship tho their designs.

I'm kinda reminded of the Hotarubi from Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans

Those are some awesome designs. They have that really heavy look to them that cargo ships today have, and I really like the two cargo prongs with the bridge in the middle. The two engine sections being divided looks really cool, too, plus just the general design of the four thrusters on each section. Awesome work!

What about breaking. How would this thing stop I wonder?

There could be thrusters in front for smaller movements, and the whole thing could turn and put thrust backwards to break. That's all assuming it tries to stick to harder sci-fi, how many retro thrusters do you see in Star Wars/Trek/gate, Halo, Mass Effect, etc.?

Looking at it closer I think I see some small thrusters Β that look like the large ones. Β For the whole ship to turn to break would mean taking a long time to slow down in the case of an issue.

ive been blown away by your lines. how do you do them?

For technical art like this, I often employ the Lazy Nezumi tool (which can be found here:Β lazynezumi.com/ ) in order to keep my long lines straight.Β For shorter lines and details, it's just a matter of a thin-to-thick pressure-sensitive brush and a steady hand.
