About the pics above, to be honest, to me it looks somewhat 'ordinary' as it is right now. I mean, there´s nothing to make it look/feel unique in some way.

Well, that was the point, as x-com universe is ordinary things in upgraded version. Still, I'm try'ing to thing something, though, form is still pretty neat and any more modifications will break it apart. But I have one idea, though, this week I have much work, so, currently, can't show any progress.

Anderty:
Finally back, after finishing some work, clearing XCOM enemy unknown 2 times (classic and normal Iron Man mode (now playing in IM classic. If interest in multilayer gaming, use steam and PM me)) and killed my laptop fan (T.T), I'm ready to finish things I started.

Here's update of progress (interior added and little more detail. Still, I won't change shape, as it gonna make too much tris, but I had one idea. I won't do it, only if heavy asked.).

I put blender file for one ting - please, tell me, if door wide is proper for 2 human beings. After that, I'll start texturing.

TrashMan:
I've made a similar looking model.


Which reminds me...have I given the mesh to you guys? You know how I disspaer from the face of the earth for a month or two occasionaly, and I keep forgetting what I did or didn't do.

Anderty:
Doesn't matter now ^^. I'll do more, than just mesh.

2th - In 1942 To power 56.9 tonnes Tiger I, 514.8 kW was used.  To power 67.6 tonnes M1 Abrams, 1,120 kW is used. Considering geometrical progression of computing power evolution, I assume that in 2084 even one engine is too much for classic plane. Minimized heavy lifter should have more than enough to power such craft, without helping stabilizers.
3th - That design is too "sci-fi futuristic". I mean - it's clear, that designer of that craft imagined it's design by very basic classic futuristic sci-fi art. It's even little bit retro.
In my vision, x-com should use still contemporary  design, but with much more advanced tech. For better understanding: Imagine that 24 core processor units is standard component of every pc on earth. It's not sci-fi, but, still, it's futuristic.
4th - It's already like that. I mean, I planned ike that at very begin. I just don't cut interior yet.

Indeed, I designed it compact. And I don't like idea of leaving less space 'round ship, cuz, even if those are elite pilots, too close quarters is very dangerous place, to land vehicle. It's still normal, to have some space 'round, as it's more "realistic". Even future have it's rules. For cover - aircraft must be crew shield, and, as I want it design right now, it should provide some neat defence.
I don't like idea of drop-pod for many reasons: a- bad cover, b- very bad craft self-defence ability (some randomly lucky its to joints, and pod is travelling it's way to earth... don't tell me, that's lame. That is very reasonable.), c- deploy and take-off time consuming. To effectively deploy and leave territory, craft must be 'round. If it's pod, which break apart and builds again, it's definitely slow and ineffective process. And imagine, if you wan't abandon mission and try to reach safe zone. Now, imagine, that, as you, in reality, wait for pod to close, aircraft to catch it and leave territory: I assume half of your men gonna die. So, any questions, why pod is bad?

Well" just for now, I won't overdose with poly, as there will be significant add from interior and segmenting, so, for now, It should look like that. But, 'course, after I'll finish segmenting, I'll try optimize and enhance it shape.

pod can have some sore of rocket engines to go lets say 100m high where plane can pick it up. its the same for landing. plane drops it from 1000 or more more meters high and pod safely lands. i think thats how the future would look like. but thats more military aircraft than simple civilian like herakles - or civilian turned to military.
