So let me guess... portholes in the ceiling, tables on the walls and doors in the floor

Would love to know how they provide electrical power to that thing, I can't think of too many generator engines which will run after being tipped on their side / end.

I have visions of generators on giant gimbals.

This ship wouldn't look half bad if it weren't for the giant bulb, Oh, and the BRIGHT FLUORESCENT GREEN PAINT!

Rbsanford · « **Reply #964 on:** August 17, 2011, 23:29:15 »

you're right about the bulb, but the green color looks unique; like fairmount ships.

michael_taal · « **Reply #965 on:** August 24, 2011, 18:11:38 »

almost all dredgers have that big bulb.

well a new ugly ship is being build its called the Oceanic and its from the same company as the Deo Volente (or more known as the Agile Solution in SS)

it has the bridge from the Agile but it looks like the bridge or something else was to narrow

Gernot1971 · « **Reply #973 on:** April 16, 2012, 22:13:31 »

Wow,

looks like they have not enough money for a complete Bridge.

Rbsanford · « **Reply #974 on:** April 16, 2012, 22:51:00 »

when i see these photos i think... who would design a ship like that?

i mean... whats the purpose of such a narrow superstructure?
