Pre ENT DY150 Cargo/Colony Vessel

[Soran77]

Here she is, My version of a DY100 Style ship! Hope you like it!

 

[Forbin]

I like it.

 

[Kaiser]

Very good

 

[sojourner]

Looks good. Maybe try it without the solid rocket boosters?

 

[JES]

Looks good, and the name works for me.
If the rockets are intended to be disposable boosters, I'll echo sojourner here, and say to try additional renderings without them.

That would indicate that the DY-150 series was launched from the surface, otherwise the impulse-like drives on the end (ion drives, or is that too slow? Maybe NERVA or something of the like?), unless they are heat radiators or something like that, would be all that is necessary for space travel.

Here she is without the solid rocket boosters, and a pic of them being jettisoned.

 

[JES]

You went up and beyond the call of duty. Very cool showing them being jettisoned!

I assume that this means that she is supposed to be launched from the ground then (or at least built on the ground, launched into orbit, and then spend the rest of her operating career in space)?

That's a very nice model. I like it.

Yes, built and launched from the ground. And yes, she will spend the rest of her years in space, but can send down equipment and people, she's meant to travel back and fourth to resupply and get new colonists.

Thanks!
