Default Re: Solar System Cargo Carrier

Thanks Paul.
Yes the original idea is for a small fleet of these ships which are the workhorse for human settlements in the Solar System (the Moon, Mars, asteroid belt mining factories - which is the concept for the render for the model when I get it finished). Based on an airlock door height of three metres (to allow for EVA suit and equipment) the existing front end of the ship runs to 45 metres. I think the overall length will end up at double that - 90 metres / 270 feet or roughly the size of a standard soccer pitch.
