Sky Now Absolutely Crarmmed with Men

It looks like No Man Sky's free capital ship designing expansion is a hit! Last month we shared some shots of corvettes created by Shaggy and now he has another shot that shows off the interior of his Venture:

Here's a shot of the galley to the bridge on the Venture as well as a shot of it parked above CNS Alexandria, my floating base on my home planet. I have a shot of the cargo bay but it's not that interesting. The Venture is also a very narrow ship, compared to the Kamrani, so there wasn't a lot of space to work with room wise.

Meanwhile, a BlueSky user named Redalgo has been recreating an entire fleet of ships! Starting with the Thunderbolt VII (skeet):

Recently had some fun piecing together a corvette in homage to the Thunderbolt VII.

And now after some polishing and work on the nose...

Pakhtahn Phantom (skeet):

Next up in No Man's Sky is an attempt at recreating the Kilrathi Paktahn, specifically the Phantom variant. Cloaking device not included! Surprisingly good cockpit visibility - I was expecting the wing layout to occlude sizable portions of my field of view.

Dralthi IV (skeet)

Not sure I like how this turned out. The curvature on the Dralthi IV was challenging to replicate and only looks passable from a handful of viewing angles. Excalibur's up next once I stop being lazy and go grind to hoard up enough ship parts.

Excalibur (skeet)

"Supposedly we have the best fighter in the galaxy and all it did was collect dust on the flight deck," may have actually been for the best. Was Flash's prototype also prone to canopy jams and tachyon gun glitches to fire at sensor ghosts up to 15 degrees off of reticle?

Alright - I found out how to place slanted engine intakes! The proper angle is 30 degrees but I had to settle for 45 because lining things up is a real hassle. Might give it another attempt in the future. Also: improved fidelity for the vertical stabilizers.

Arrow (skeet)

After botching a few attempts at the Vaktoth and Darket, I got very close to completing the Arrow V. Two essential pieces of hull plate wanted to compete with the winglets for snap-points, alas, so a bulkier rebuild was necessary. The nose and engines still need revisions.

Learning a new glitch allowed me to revisit the aforementioned, smaller ship frame. Feeling a bit better about this iteration.

Sorthak (skeet)

Also got into some glitching hijinks to have shot at recreating the Kilrathi Sorthak.

A final set of revisions saw the stabilizer jets smoothed out so they don't clip through the hull. Also, the wings are sharpened to points now to give the craft a more faithful silhouette.

Alright, once more, but with warpaint and adjustments to the cockpit pod and starboard wing...
