So I thought I was getting rusty at spaceships, and then I drew this. Probably my most realistic starship design yet.

This frigate typifies the Saldean design aesthetic: chunky, practical, and virtually indestructible. All Saldean vessels share the same general design for their prows. The prow is dominated by the ships main cannon assembly, with the bridge situated just below it, behind many, many, layers of armor. Sublight propulsion for frigates such as this is handled by a single rear-mounted gravitic drive node, supplemented by several small fusion thrusters.

A very awesome design for all the facts that it takes realistic science fiction into account. Favorited.

Nice ship. Reminds me of Hiigaran ships from Homeworld.

Lots of the ships on this site look like they would break apart if they tried to maneuver. This has a nice solid look to it.

I'd like to see a remake where the darker areas aren't semi-random lines and look like actual mechanisms/features. Also the curviness of the three aft plates doesn't really match the rest of it. But if you refined it this would be one of my favorite ship designs.

This looks awsome I always think of a voyage in space in terms of a camping trip you take what you bring with you and explore weather the ships military or civilian. I can just imagine an adventure through the cosmos and walking on distant planets that are savage and wild as a marine or somthing with this ship as a safe haven in a wild universe it would be fantastic. Great work.
