Default Re: Ship design musings

All is well, but we should not extrapolate earth-bound vehicle standarts to space. Of course there is a huge difference between submarine and jet fighter - they all operate in different enviroments ! The proper comparisons should be between, for example, navy frigate and cruiser or Boing-757 and F-16. Personally, I fail to see how raising the spaceship tonnage from 300k to 400k should turn blueprints upside down !

All being said, I totally agree that simple resize of ship pictures makes very boring shipsets. I usually try to make shipsets as diverse as possible but still maitaining some sort of race theme. It is not easy and if you pull it out - we all will appreciate your efforts !
