Click on the site link in my profile, scroll down and go to the 'Starships' section to see a design I've been working on for a few months.
A little FYI: The name Nitius is derived from the Latin word, nitidus, meaning "sleek."

Or just far too lazy... Anyhow, I've just had a look...
It looks good, but perhaps could be sharpened... At the moment, it seems a little too bulbous. A few more angles, and it'll look mighty pretty...
On a side note, the Ardent hull design looks very good...

Yeah, I don't quite like the side view, but I'm going to make it wide near the middle and narrow out near the back. I'm also going to be using vertically curved surfaces between the hulls.
Thanks, which design are you talking about though? My first or second? I'm guessing second.

Yeah, I liked that one too. Actually, you'd be amazed how I designed it. I just took a circle(120 scale meters diameter) and used a 25 degree angle and basically made a bunch of tangents and played connect the dots with the line interesction points.

Thanks. I'd hoped to have finished it on my computer by now but ran out of time yesterday. Hopefully have it done sometime this week.

Nice job, Niytaan. I can appreciate a good starship design. I've got a stack of books from FASA, Jackill and others.
Keep up the good work!
