Hmm.

The advantage of this concept is that it's not hard to make. Although more interesting geometry would do good.

[Oblivion]

2070 is an awfully long time from the current VS date start date ~3200

that would make this kind of ship hopelessly outdated even in comparison to most Forsaken ships (which are mostly modified utility and light military ships from ~2200 to ~2600 (?)).

The geometry is simple tho, I agree with Kangaroo, but it's design is too umm... atmospheric.

just my opinion.
