Nice ship! I particularly like the turret mount Oh no, it's the operator cockpit The cargo docking bay might be too small for a container And some greebling would better convey the sense of scale

Seriously, good work, chuck.

Hahaha.
I still need to unwrap it... not sure how...

[Fendorin]

is it serious???

[chuck_starchaser]

Serious for developers/artists; for measuring ships.
Not for players

Here it is; textures and all.

Excellent work!

I'm curious how the trip back to Mother Earth will go with it With this beautiful 1m cabin, I hope I still can stretch my legs (will try diagonal ).

*EDIT*
Yeah! 2m diagonal space

But Oh it has no engines

[chuck_starchaser]

It uses artificial gravity for propulsion

EDIT:
And the hull is made of a single, solid slab of Aeran Sequoia wood; invulnerable...

BTW, this is exactly 100 m long (in fact, the 100 m mark is not printed, otherwise I would have had to make it 100.5 m long), but by the same token they are "stackable"; --you could create a km long variant by attaching 9 extra copies of itself as sub-units.

Not to be pedantic but shouldn't it be the 0 mark that isn't printed, whilst the 100 mark is?

[chuck_starchaser]

You're right. I think I can just shift the texture. It's 4 texels per millimeter, so I could shift the texture 1 texel and that would put half a mark at each end; I think this would be the most intuitive.

Reminds me of discovering pixel rulers in kde (gnome now as well) for web development.
