It looks fine to me, but If you wanted you could remove these windows and place some doors in much like modern helicopters of today.

I wouldn't remove the windows, just add a door outline around them. If ya add doors like that Darkseid all your Marines get sucked into space  ;)

Nice idea about the door, but not for the 26th Century.


The marines would have too far of a drop off the side to hit the ground, hence MarkyD's design of the door under the craft.

Not to mention the ship has transporters that could transport them in to begin with.

Just my honest opinion.

True about the door outline instead of open door, but then again you have to think about force fields.  When a shuttle bay door opens they dont hide in a seperate room, a force field goes up so what you mentioned doesnt happen.  I figure once the ship drops in, (think Apocolyps Now), then a holographic ramp "deploys" the troops get out and then the ships leaves.  Perhaps a variant could be made also to drop in Argo Class Jeeps as well.

That's what the Argo Shuttle is for  ;)

That works, but it has to land in order for it to drive out.  It took a few seconds too before it was free.  When your in the middle of a combat situation i'm sure you just want to fly in drop the vehicle and move a long.  Same as dropping off troops.  The Argo shuttle is more of a standard Away mission type.

Actually, I thought there were door underneath the ship too allow a for of Marines/Tactical Force to do this?  I thought there was an underneath Ramp Door that is designed just for what you are talking about?

First - AWESOME SHIP!!!! Second, I like it just the way she is. I can't really see her impulse engines because of the views you've provided but if you think she needs something else in the rear end (so to speak!). Maybe look at beefing up the impulse engines details. That said if you uploaded her right now you'd get a standing ovation!!!

 O're Columbia's true sons let it wave.
May the wreaths they have won never wither,
 Nor it's stars cease to shine on the brave.

MarkyD - you back and working on the Arrow again? No rush, it's hard to wait for a beauty like this but she's worth it.

 The Arrow is awesome and I can't wait to see her in game. I'm thinking of using her as a scout or police frigate.

Any update or release chances for the new year Hippo or MarkyD? I can help with conversion and hardpointing if you need it.
