Ideally speaking this ought to be a big cube, or at the very least rectangular. Besides, round objects have an unfortunate habit of making matters painful.

It would be better off as an angled design - a prism, not a cylinder.

So....

well, the outer structure is round, for strength
A hull isn't generally one layer, i like to think the inside is a different shape.
Make it like a toblerone box, with only 3 lifters too
(a triangloid) it'd look more funky

Don't want to be rude, but this is -way- too simple for a ship this size... you basically copy pasted 4 lifters and made a big cylinder...
It looks like someone was in a rush and tried to enter in the book of world record for the largest ship in the galaxy...
I suggest you try to add a lot of 3D details on it, section the tube in sub-sections. Because even with texture-only detail, this thing won't look really good.

Me no modder...me ask for help...no one help me. Me learn real fast and make sample for idea. They say ok.
That all me know.
Now they make me newer model. Me just want ship--not care who make or what look like.
P.S.
Sorry--all those primitives affected my vocabulary.

And you will be making this when? It looks like a cement mixer.
Barges are simply big flat metal tanks with semi compartments internally--nothing fancy.

I would say a trans shield just to keep the npc swarms off of it. It would still be piratable by a lf if someone was so inclined.

' Wrote:The model is far too simple, TBH. It's a cylinder attached to four heavy lifters...
If you were going to store large amounts of bulk items you wouldnt use a single, massive 'tank' anyways - You'd have a lot of little cargo pods attached together by halls/elevators.
Think more along the lines of heavy tanker for the actual barge.
Oh, is that whats going on? i thought those were to compair size...maybe if you made that thing being pulled by the rhienland bs i would like it better. :D
