Olympia Class General Cargo Vessel

[Talbott]

we have ship that looks very much like this...well actually we have two....heavy tanker and pirate transport both are very similar to your idea

Yeah, the background RP is that this is supposed to be a medium transport based on the Titanic design, so I used a lot of styling from that ship. That's why I chose the name "Olympia", IRL the Olympia was one of the sister ships of the Titanic.

I would disagree that it is similar to the pirate train in any way beyond the very basic hullform, that is, they're both very boxy. On the Olympia there is a large rear engine room and accommodation block, the engines are placed much differently, there is no armor plating over the cargo pods, and there is a well defined bow and pronounced foc'sle.

that one?

Bingo. The Titanic is the only ship in the game that looks a bit like a seagoing merchant vessel, so it was the natural RP progenitor for a smaller ship based on the same aesthetics.
