just one more - what a mini-barge/mega-transport may be like

[Jinx]

No idea what the concept of the barge is meant to be like - but if it is anything around 10.000 cargo-space or something reasonable like that - this is what it may be like.

A fairly huge ( think of it like stacking two 5k trains on top of each other ) and open container transport.

large engines, but kind of small compared to the load - a sideways bridge and thats about it... nothing fancy about it.

Smaller Barge

While possible to replace the containers with vanilla containers ( you know, the destructible ones ) - it would leave the ship too hard to hit - with missiles and gunfire probably passing through the skeletal structure of the cargoclamps.

link should work now - made a copy paste mistake

Now imagine this with no cruise engine, no thruster and thus bound only by lanes.
Would be epic.

more epic is when it would be as fat as a turtle.

Also spazzy there is 1 problem. NPCs will have fun bumping u.

I could see some sort of ALG Supertransport hauling toxic waste and processing it along the way or something.

Looks like the top part of the model was designed after vertebra, but I like it.

Anything I say is not intended as offensive, and to try and deliberately misinterpret it as such would be an attempt at trolling via misrepresentation.

It's not a conspiracy, it's localised bias. They're not intelligent enough to form a conspiracy.

Very cool!

well - NPCs have a certain avoidance radius - when ships are not excessively huge - there is a sphere that they try to dodge - so it might just work ( in terms of bumping )

in terms of "as fat as a turtle" - not my department - and not so sure its really desirable. If the goal is to make the barge smaller - it should really be smaller. - and two adv. trains stacked on top of each other is quite large for a transport already.

No cruise engines and stuff may work - the model doesn t look like it has any super FTL engine - but rather a big thruster only. - if it was very true to RP - it would probably travel mainly by being pushed by "heavy lifters" while supplying only some additional thrust by its own engine.

what progs do you use to make models, is it easy to learn?
