Description
I do few of these, and I wonder why, since spaceships were the reason I fell in love with science fiction in the first place... well, maybe it's hard doing them without borrowing Star Wars' riffs...This would be an enormous thing... every spire containing the population of a small city, the "mouth" some tenths of miles in diameter so it can scoop enough hydrogen for propulsion...
And I sounded soooooooooo nerd, didn't I?

This is gorgeous!
(and nerd is sexy!)

Wow, nice a city like spaceship with a giant Bussard Ramjet motor

Well, I don't consider myself a nerd but maybe I'm kind of as well XD

That's a thing of beauty. Can I have a huge version of it for my big monitor's desktop?

What is the hydrogen engine transfer to fuel idea? How much hydrogen is in space? (not being mean im actually very curious...) I am doing a concept of a space ship....but it contains solar systems inside of its main compartment. Kind of like a mobile viewing area only its huge, and these space ships are what make up the universe and maybe the universe is inside a giant ship as well..and so on

Thanks!
Actually, hydrogen is pretty scattered in space... only a few atoms per cubic mile. For a ramscoop to work, and actually create impulse, the scoop would need a surface of hundreds of square miles... but here we are assuming we have particularly powerful electromagnets forming a net to catch and attract atoms from a large area of space.
I think

So the hydrogen propulsion is like a hydrogen contained bomb? The explosion provides forward momentum while the blast and radiation are focused through an exhaust terminal and the radiation could be used as a heating element? I sounds like a super legit premise since you only need a few hydrogen atoms to cause a reaction, but how far could a few atoms propel a ship that size?

If I may say so, you deepen your blacks in the ship and have some of the bg color spill on it, it would look more integrated. I

Wow that is a HUGE Bussard Ramjet! Beautiful!

Very original, and very imaginative, but it lacks warp nacelles

Thanks! That's for the revised edition...

I find it really amazing...a big, huge enormous space station, where a lot of people of The Galaxy can leave. Just a bit mon cal, yes but not a lot...just a perfect place where to adapt a space novel or something like.

nerds and geeks rock. fantastic ship! i mean, really innovative. i fucking love it, and i usually don't curse for a comment, but really, it feels like it needs it.
lovely lovely lovely, awesome.

Well, nicest curse I've heard, anyway...

Is there enough hydrogen in space? What are the circuit board looking transparent veils? Is it rotating? Where is the dock(s)?

you think YOU sound nerdy? lol, thats nothing compared to myself and a few others. anywhooo... great design. I love the connectors between the spires.

Thanks so much... feel less nerdy now

Very original design... Not the usualy stuff. A really nice job!

The huge fish of space. It's beautiful.
Just have to watch out for the huge cat of space...

Now, that's an idea...

Ram scoop! Whee! I love those things.
Hard sci-fi is one of the awesomest things around. This nicely captures the best of it, the fragility of the ideals coupled with the hard reality of the ideas. Well done.

Thanks

I don't think you sound like a nerd... *shrug* Oh-well, I love sci-fi to.
I'd love to travel on that thing.

that's a great concept... the whole fish look does feak me out, but i can imagine a series that would benefit from a ship of this size... self-sufficient mini planet almost
except somethings gotta attack it eventually

I'd think of this as sort of a Battlestar Galactica... it surely won't be so vulnerable as it looks... thanks!

How can you be so productive!!!!! (Wanna kill you right now... It is just impossible for me and they are just good!) I really like the design of this one. Very futuristic and elegant.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! And I'm not so productive.. I feel lucky if I produce one or two good pieces a week... they seem to be many because I've been stocking up for a year

It looks like a fishy! *(still stuck on the big fishy you did lol)*
But really, it does look like a fishy...
I dub it "The Fishy Ship" ^_^

Indeed, it did came from a fish skeleton...
