Bundschuh backbone ship

Ooh! I do like that general design! We were talking before, and had the thought of a somewhat white/green color scheme. Kind of like a "good guy" version of how Rheinland's ships are now (as that's how they see themselves). Along those lines and thinking ahead, as a suggestion, having the cockpit area green-tinted like the Hessian ships perhaps?

I was also thinking, perhaps add a bit of something to the engine portion? While the overall engine looks really nice, what about adding some kind of extra visually interesting bit? I'm really not sure on specifics (you make awesome stuff, I figure I'd let you do your magic), but something in the area highlighted here:



Basically, something like the ornamental parts of the Kusari Train that are actually solar collectors. Some kind of fancy end part that helps direct the plasma in the engine, allowing for greater efficiency.

Perhaps some kind of tweaks with the bottom fin part, too. Maybe stylistically closer to that of the Stiletto? Or a bit shorter?

All in all, it's looking great as a concept so far! :D
