Errant - sadly, that model isn't of a very good quality. It also has a few bugs in the mesh, especially at the bottom view. The very large dorsal fin will cause issues with the hitbox and just plain looks bad, and the extremely sharp angles will cause issues with texturing.

Yeah I realized that, after I uploaded it. Like I said, first model. Idk, I just can't get over the fact that the new spatial is gonna look like a giant eagle. TBH I'd rather have a giant wing for a hitbox, then another generic fighter.
Although, I'm all for an equally big hitbox, just like the spatial has now.

Better? I eliminated as many super sharp angles as possible. I still need help with engines, I'm thinking of 6 on the back end of this, kinda X-wing looking. As stated before I suck at modeling. But, the whole reason the Nebulon Ranger model worked, is it was big enough to be a feasible exploration / mining vessel. I think that's my qualm with the new "giant eagle" looking model is its so generic, and doesn't fit its "purpose".
So...I tried to take into consideration the following:
A) The Spatial is a Mining / Exploration Ship, So it needs the space to have cryo-stasis, Med Lab, Crew Quarters, and massive storage.
B) The Spatial is a SHF class ship, so it should have the power, and armored hull to stand up to its name.
C) The "Original" Spatial had 6 long burn engines and it has to be able to do sub-orbital flight.
While I'm not sure its practical, I came up with this. I reworked what I liked with the original concept, and added what I tend to like in fighter design. Also, the engines look like crap...still trying to figure out how to make pro ones...
Here yah go:
Edit: I know the new model is already "Final" I'm just bored, and figured I'd protest by dropping a model I made in, instead of QQing, and contributing nothing...
