Space Series Idea
Wolven anim8or:
i have got a great idea thecolclough and spicy! how about a large space passenger ship that carries important people to different places, it could be used in the background with the tuarus (i cant model it myself though), but a good modlling idea?
spicy:
Yeah that would be a good idea but, we gotta focus on the big stuff as well. Remember if ANY ONE would like to help just say :) I shall be sending the final update of the PDF File to everyone involved in the project

i'll look forward to it :)
also: i'll stick with the ugly-bulky-geometric look for the Taurus-57, but i might mess around with a sleeker variant for passenger transport as well.

I know it's your call, I'm just saying (but forgot to mention), when the cargo ship is to land on a planet, it would need to be aerodynamic (if the planet has an atmosphere), unless of course another ship was to be used for this.
Sorta like a plane taking a whole heap of American packages to Australia and then having domestic planes/trucks taking them to each state/suburb

good point, i hadn't really thought about that. but then, i never really expected the Taurus to land; i thought it would be more for collecting stuff from asteroid refineries or something, and taking it across the major interstellar distances, but the stuff would be transferred planetside by shorter-range craft.
it's kind of like the planet's gravity working like the gradual slope on a natural beach (as opposed to a man-made dock), a huge oil tanker can't dock anywhere near the land, because the sea just gets too shallow, and you have to use little rowing-boats to get people ashore. shallow water = gravitational pull (both create an impassable area), taurus = giant tanker thing, short-range transfer craft = rowing boats.
maybe i should stop philosophising about all this, and just get on with modelling the darn thing?!! ;D
