A Whole Gorram Saleyard
I've been browsing the Waves in the Black forums (for fans of the Serenity RPG) a bit this morning; as I wrote earlier, I've been contemplating a Serenity campaign for Vickie, Simon and Cristel. One of my favourite sub-forums of Waves in the Black is the Shipyards, where players post ship designs they've come up with. When I was last browsing it, a few had gone as far as firing up 3D design programs and done up some natty renders of their ships.
Sine that time, though, a few people have discovered a freeware rendering program called DoGA, and the number - and quality - of computer generated images has, if you'll pardon the pun, skyrocketed.
Here're some of my personal favourites on sale:
- The XC-003 Solaris, an Alliance prototype corvette being used as a test-bed for a solar sail system. Shiny, huh?
- The Elefante-class transport. (Puts me in mind of a Pelican dropship from Halo.)
- The Mongoose.
- An Alliance Navarchos-class heavy frontier cruiser.
- The Kitsune 030 freighter.
And if you're interested in outfitting your new ship, have a look at these hover-mules!
Oh, and while we're on the subject, would you consider a budget option: this used Firefly-class mid-bulk transport?
