Personally, I'm a big fan of the "Flat Top" from Battlestar Galactica. Kind of a general utility and repair platform with a little hangar on top. I imagine that's hugely valuable for external works on any vessel.

Some pictures. Trying to translate the 2D drawing into a full environment was a lot of fun!

As much as I love the Prometheus, the Deadalus is far and away my favorite Stargate USAF design. Such a powerful profile!

The results of the first test prints on the Mishakur. I think overall they look good, although there are definitely some elements that need tweaked (mainly thickening gun barrels and some of the spiky bits). The "arm" connections are still a bit sus, but It is probably the best they're going to get!

Here's a catch up on some of the 3d models I've been working on the last week or so.

First up, is my version of the Brakiri Boral light cruiser design originally by Martechi (www.deviantart.com/martechi/art...). I liked the concept of it being a second-line ship, but messed with some of the details

If you've ever obsessed about Mass Effect like me, or if you just appreciate how cool the franchises galaxy is you should really check out @kalaelizabeth.bsky.social's new series of videos. As a long time Mass Effect nerd I really can't recommend them enough youtu.be/-rN5lb4HjlQ?...

When I was a kid watching #Robotech, I thought this starfighter was one of the grooviest things ever.

Now that I’m 40 years older and I can see how impractical, unrealistic, and completely over-the-top it is, I still think it’s one of the grooviest things ever.

Shiptember: ToughSF ship for my tooootally unique setting about war on lunar orbit. Thinking about a name for it - Moonar Kerfuffle, Satellite Spat, Selene's Issues. Any ideas?

Runs on Methamphetalyne propellants and fentalyne fuel.

ToughSF ship with missiles, pulse lasers, radiators, and nuclear thermal electric rocket engines. Because I've been super busy, that's all

367. An archivist works to decode and catalogue a sentient megastructure on the edge of the Galaxy while dealing with her alien wife, two teenage children, a pirate blockade, flesh-eating amoebas, and her ex-girlfriend/academic rival. Plus the sun is about to explode. Very much enjoying it so far!!

I'm very fond of the game Starflight, released first on IBM PC and various microcomputers in 1986 onward before getting a lovely Sega Genesis/Mega Drive port in 1991. And it's that MD port that I'm most fond of.

One of the cool things in the SG manual is the alien race artwork by Alan Okamoto.

Artwork of a Thrynn, a reptilian alien race This one appears to be fleeing some sort of crime, racing to a hover vehicle while a space cop or security guard fires a shot at them, missing them with their laser beam. it's got a very particular 1960s/70s scifi vibe to the artwork style, Chris Foss and all those

A piece depicting the octopus-like Gazurtoid in some sort of bubble like pod launching from a coral-like spaceship. They're genocidal killers fuelled by extreme xenophobia toward air breathers

A gorgeous piece showing a starport with mantis-like anthro aliens, the Veloxi, bartering and chatting while an immense ship that looks suspiciously like a Klingon D7/9 cruiser flies overhead.

A piece depicting a blue fluidic blob with radar dish-like extrusions sticking out of it. They're called the Spemin, if I'm remembering correctly.
