Advanced Transport Competition

After deciding to create a competition for the GC ships, I thought it would also be nice to create a competition for several other vessels, notably advanced transports. Basically, the idea is to create an advanced transport for each house faction. I believe Jinx is already working on a Bretonian advanced Percheron style transport, but the other houses need one. So, what is needed is below:

Adv. Behemoth
Adv. Mammoth
Adv. Big Dragon

Obviously they need to fit the aesthetics of their respective house. Ideally each of those would end up with 5,000 cargo space, in order to be a suitable alternative to the advanced train (so as to not see it everywhere XD). I'm willing to stump up 100 million of my own cash for each of the above that gets approved for submission etc, and the timeframe for doing this is, just as the GC ships, very ASAP. Again, since i'm totally rubbish at anything to do with ships, i'm not even going to try to do it myself XD See if you folks can have a go.

Wouldn't the advanced big dragon be the container transport?

Hmm, the Container Transport is just another transport option, but you're right in a way. The idea is to give each house a transport with 5,000 cargo space in order to give some variety to all the advanced trains flying around, since it is sorely needed.

hehe - how about that one.... a supertransport based on Borderworld and the whale. concepted as a whale replace but abandoned the project.

the lower left picture shows where the cargocontainers are stored...

edit: i d say - a good 5000 zoner only transport for zoners that have NO zoner tag and its only to be used for diamonds niobium. - special sensors make sure that you pass chogoku, else your cargo gets jettisoned automaticly.

I quite like the design of that whale replacement, Jinx. Frankly i'd rather see all new ship designs replace existing import designs.

you know - its rather a joke.... the whale is one of the more popular designs, and i would be surprised if the community "allowed" it to be replaced by anything... its a bit like the battlestars, we know they don t belong here - but the resistance for replacing them would be tremendous.

Replacing the battlestars with something SIMILAR could work. Or replacing one of them at least.
Eg:

Your model looks far far nicer than the current Whale in my opinion but I'm use to seeing it in Star Wars mods:P
