I built this just to do it, but I like the shape, and the lower pic is the inside of the engine, now Im lost on direction here, I was thinking coping my engine design onto 2 other engines and add them onto pylons on each side and maybe a lower hanging hanger deck, but would like some community input. The idea here is a 2020 Deep Space Exploration ship, experimental grav plating, no armarment. The Hanger would hold 2 shuttle like space craft, dressed in NASA Livery. Stated Goal to travel to Alpha Centuri and start a colony. Max speed is 89,937,737.4m/s or 3/10 FTL using ION engine, powered by a Fusion reactor. Life support systems include a large hydropnics area with trees ect to act as natural air recylers, and lifestock for meat. Reactor powered by collected space debries and solar dust (havnt worked out an idea for that) Travel time anticipated to be 61years, but the ship never returned home, presumed destroyed. But I want more ideas on what to add to the model itself, still working on texture ideas in my head.
Just a break down, the front section is the command module, designed to seperate if the reactor breach's included cryostatis chambers. Middle section is the main area, hydroponics, recreation, science labs, main reactor. Rear cone is the engine assembly
I want to give a rouge estimate of 120 total crew 60men, 60 women all unmarried upon launch, the idea is because of trip length the crew would reproduce and then train there children to operate the vessel
