To all SSC Station occupants

Thank you for the donations over the past year (2024), it is much appreciated. I am still trying to figure out how to migrate the forums to another community software (probably phpbb) but in the meantime I have updated the forum software to the latest version. SSC has been around a while so their is some very long time members here still using the site, thanks for making SSC home and sorry I haven't been as vocal as I should be in the forums I will try to improve my posting frequency.

Thank you again to all of the members that do take the time to donate a little, it helps keep this station functioning on the outer reaches of space.

I've been working on this ship off and on for a month or so. It still needs a lot of detail added to it but i figured i'd add it to the forums to see what everyone thought about it.

Lookin' sharp, Chebar! Just out of curiosity, were you thinking big behemoth, or closer to corvette or frigate class?

i'm not sure, when i started making this i had no idea on what i was making. but i think if i had to pick i'd go with big behemoth.

I think if you put some tiny `dot` port holes/windows in rows down the side in a nice pale yellow it will add to the sense of scale! 😉

Add a `bridge` with lit up widows to help with sense of scale and scale down the huge gun. maybe a small fighter flying near to add to the over all feeling of size. 🙂
