sure thing, i'll put some little glowy bits around the trailing equipment in the midpoly version. and maybe around the engine nacelle too. after all, what self-respecting spaceship doesn't have any glowy bits?!! :P 8)

Tanzim:
I think it needs windows at the front so the crew can look outside and stuff, and maybe you'd want to round off the front (bullet shape) so it doesn't look like a massive cylinder but instead a well designed aero-dynamic spacecraft.
spicy:
Yes I agree with Tanzim maybe just a few windows. Here i have an unfinished low poly model that will become a Kormek Cruiser (Not yet finished). :)
thecolclough:
tanzim: yes, i was going to put a few windows around the crew area, especially a long 'windscreen' across the front of the bridge.
on the other hand, i like the flat-front design. i was thinking, since there's no air in space, starships don't really need to be aerodynamic in the same way aircraft do, and since the Taurus-57 is a utilitarian cargo vessel, i thought a more unsophisticated, geometric shape would be more appropriate. if i'd designed it as a luxury cruiser (hey, maybe there's a passenger-carrying variant of the class?), then i might round off the front, but i prefer the flat-front look for the cargo transporter.
i think it's like the difference between the styling of an old lorry, vs. the styling of a shiny new rolls-royce - the people building lorries are only concerned with getting stuff from A to B, not so much with sleek styling... :P
maybe we should ask Master Spicy what he thinks... ;)

spicy:
Well my peronal opinion is that I like the way the Tuarus is set out, plus the poles! :) But there is always room for improvement :P
I am glad that you are going to add some windows too, but if thecolclough wants the front the same then it's his call not mine.
Anyhow when I watch commercial programs such as "Star Trek", I see cargo transporters and they look like bulky ugly things, not aerodynamic, but this is my series. It's all up to the colclough...
