The craft is finish, some shots,
Willm
I like the detail and smoothness, nice work, Sitters. Just a couple of comments.
1) It doesn't seem to have any orbital cannons as on the original model, which play an important part in the backstory.
2) The side with the thrusters now looks really bland, containing nothing but engines. Perhaps we can mount the cannons on a dome on this side, as the side with the thrusters would be the one facing Earth from orbit (a big flaw in my original design).
Micrometeor scars result from tiny specks of matter impacting the craft at extreme velocities. The Carrier never reaches that kind of velocity. It uses FTL to jump to its destination and then travels around at relatively low speeds (low in the sense that micrometeor impacts have no appreciable effect, certainly not on alien materials). Of course, it's still possible for the micrometeors themselves to travel at extreme velocities relative to the Carrier, but then the scars should be on every side, not just the front side.
Fair to say, I just figured it would be most apparent on the front.
