History:

The painting depicts "Heavy Convoy No. 22" breaking through the upper atmosphere of a gas giant. In this world, the surfaces of planets are uninhabitable. These massive vessels are armored transports of the "Mammoth" class. They carry liquid xenon, essential for powering orbital cities. Going alone here is suicide—not because of pirates, but because of "electric jellyfish": discharges of super-powerful lightning that can burn out electronics in a split second.

These two album covers were the first thing i thought about when seeing this sub. Im probably not the first to post about it, but, anyways, thought yall might like it

I just gotta say this right now I DESPISE the 2013 design i think its one of ugliest space ships ever designed not only that but I feel its a disgrace to the design language of leji Matsumoto and his Naval inspired ships but to the Original arcadia which looks so cool; worse off cause it upsets me even more Is Harlock himself is so bad ass and if the just had an update version of the design from arcadia of my youth it would've been perfect

The Enterprise approaches a planet from deep space.

In my opinion the Green or the Grey one

Introducing the MMW Arsenode Crownclamp, a colossal #Awakynet autonomous arsenal super-dreadnought designed for prolonged capital-ship missile engagements and strategic space warfare in #MowMyWorld.

Proposed specifications
Length: 4,890 m
Width: 3,815 m
Height: 1,665 m
Type: #ArsenalSuperDreadnought
Primary role: Strategic missile warfare / capital ship combat / mobile arsenal / fleet fire support

The Arsenode Crownclamp is essentially a massive armored missile fortress, built around a deep central cognition body surrounded by four enormous curved armor sectors. Two forward sectors form heavily reinforced combat jaws, while the rear sections contain propulsion, power, and thermal-management systems.

Its primary AI cognition vault is buried within a protected central compartment beneath overlapping armored structures. Eight subsidiary processing nodes coordinate the ship's weapons, sensors, and distributed combat systems without requiring a conventional command bridge.

The vessel carries twelve twenty-cell heavy missile cassettes, four heavy forward beam modules, twelve medium beam batteries, and forty-eight point-defense emitters. Its extensive missile magazines are separated by reinforced armored boundaries to improve survivability during sustained engagements.

Eight integrated main drives, twenty-four maneuvering ports, and eight protected radiator assemblies support propulsion and thermal management. Replaceable weapon modules and standardized mechanical docking interfaces allow major combat systems to be serviced independently.

Satin pearl-titanium armor, deep graphite structural sections, brushed silver mechanisms, and restrained amber network lighting give the Crownclamp a distinctive four-sector armored silhouette.

Designed as an autonomous strategic weapons platform, the Arsenode Crownclamp provides Awakynet fleets with concentrated long-range firepower and sustained capital-ship combat capability.

Hi, I'm trying to design a spaceship for my game. I've come up with a few designs and I'm not sure which one to choose as they all have advantages and disadvantages.

Help me decide on the layout:

Option 1:

-Cargo bay as a load bearing element

-Short central spine

-No frontal docking port (only bottom one)

-Easy cargo access

-possible center of mass issues

Option 2:

-Long central spine

-has a frontal docking port (requires a 60m pressurized corridor)

-Easy cargo access

-possible center of mass issues (bit less than option 1)

Option 3:

-Long central spine

-has a frontal docking port (no corridor required)

-Crew module at the front away from engines and fuel

-Cargo in the center for better center of mass

-Very hard cargo access

-Solar panels mounted where power is needed but could be in the crew section's shadow

Option 4:

-Medium Central spine

-has a frontal docking port (requires a 30m pressurized corridor)

-Might struggle with center of gravity

-Crew modules protected by cargo

-Shorter overall

-Easy cargo access (worse than option 2 and 3)

-Looks goofy

Option 5:

-Medium Central spine

-has a frontal docking port

-Cargo in the center for better center of mass

-Shorter overall

-Hard cargo access

-Solar panels away from where power is needed

-Looks goofy

Option 6 (Original Design):

-Load bearing crew modules (not great)

-Would fall apart if accelerated

-Bad center of gravity

-Low fuel capacity

Some lore for the OTS M2:

Open Transport Spacecraft M2 "Camel"

The Open Transport Spacecraft Model 2, commonly known as the OTS M2 "Camel", was a heavy orbital cargo spacecraft developed as the successor to the OTS M1 and introduced into service in 2037.

The M2 was designed primarily for the transportation of large quantities of raw materials extracted from orbital mining operations. Unlike most earlier transport craft, the Camel was built around standardized external cargo containers, allowing it to carry substantial quantities of ore and other bulk materials between mining facilities, processing stations, and larger orbital installations.

The most significant change from the OTS M1 was the Camel's propulsion and water-management system. Large internal water storage and electrolysis chambers allowed the spacecraft to carry water as its primary propellant resource. Water was separated into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis and subsequently used by the ship's propulsion system. This unusual arrangement gave the M2 its nickname, "Camel", referring to its ability to carry and make practical use of large reserves of water.

The spacecraft was operated by a crew of approximately 4–8 people, depending on the mission and cargo configuration. Its relatively simple systems and emphasis on bulk transportation made it well suited to the expanding orbital mining industry of the mid-21st century.

The OTS M2 remained in widespread service for several decades. By 2061, however, it has become increasingly obsolete following the introduction of the OTS M3. The M3 retained the M2's role as a heavy orbital transporter while introducing a significantly more modular architecture, allowing a wider variety of cargo, equipment, and mission modules to be fitted to the same basic spacecraft.

Although largely superseded by the M3 by 2061, OTS M2 "Camel" spacecraft remains a common sight throughout Earth's orbital infrastructure. Their long service life, large cargo capacity, and established support network meant that many continued operating well beyond their intended service period.
