Hope: SpaceyMcBoatFace ideas

 

More sketches. These are more in line with a 21st century "urgent" special project, described in the brief. Not a mile long, but very, very big. 
Zeppelin vibe
Downward-directed thrusters. A bit whale-like but I added then removed a fin as it definitely made this into a Zeppelin.

This was actually the first of the sketches I drew. The surface details add to the "sell" although all the designs look better with more going on. 


Space boat. Needs some more detailing to sell this as a ship. To be fair, the detailing won't have much impact on the maps, although things like the helicopter pads in sketch one might impact layout / add access points.

Andrew Bolton - Class Cruiser

Appearing in Chuck Gannon's excellent books concerning Tales of the Terran Republic . The following sketches show one of the more common Terran warships that appear in a number of the books. Spindle layout - maybe the sub-craft should contrast with the "mothership" carrier in this regard? Signs of modular design, extendable arms for port and starboard laser emitters. I'll need to account for more than the two Gordon-class sloops, there should also be a range of drones and missiles. Some refinements. I think this really holds true to the line about the ship being designed around the laser generator. My favourite, though quite early Gordon-class Sloop concept.
