    You're tugging at my old heart here. Reminding me of the time when I was a young one building the Stinger model fighters for myself out of my first ship and pressurized metal. Years take toll on a man, but don't let them ideas leave you.

    I'll take you under the wing. Help you along with some wisdom, protection, and the occasional ship help. It irks me that you're reminding me of my piloting days.

    Perhaps... Though we'd never get the support needed to actually get it done... So I'm just giving up. I'll just stick to a personal fighter or something...

    Hsssss hsssss hssss.

    Why need to build whole new ship, when you can just weld together a few salvaged but fully operational smaller ships and you can just find an engineer to connect them all up.

    That... Is a large ship. It's going to be difficult, but I suppose it can be done. Id be happy to help. Contact me if you need a hand.

    Pay is also nice. If possible.

    It's the Starnet, I read that humans had the -same- problem before they left earth for whatever reason! Back on that 'Internet'.
    People like to bash down ideas constantly! It helps make them feel better!
    Don't give up on it now!
    Mostly because I want to be paid =)))

    Hope you've got a lot of pixels hidden away in a hole somewhere. It costs a small fortune to keep a ship like that running for a week.

    ((Though I like the design, excited to see how it comes out.. Building awesome ships is a fetish of mine.

    Build as big a ship as you want. You got the resources, go ahead. But how in Ape's name are you plan on flying something that big? Alone? You're going to need a huge crew. Maintenance teams and nav teams and engine teams and diagnostic teams. You're basically making a big floating target for pirates and raiders in this sector too, so you're going to have to consider arms, munitions, the people to fire those guns and the people to secure the ship...

    No reason to have a personal dreadnaught.

    I present to you... the Pygmy Belladonna!
    View attachment 3400
    It's like the original Belladonna, but hella smaller! Just as rad! I have no idea how to build space ships, but I design houses and stuff! So it wasn't too difficult to design this!

    Also! I just realized that empty room underneath the comms could have a toilet in it! And then lead to the airlock! Maybe! It's up to you!

    Hope you like it!
    P.S. Sorry I only had one color! And I spelled pygmy wrong! D: And I ended every sentence with an exclamation point...

    Antares is a frontier, a society on the edge of civilization. As a result, it won't have the highest end tech or the grandest of inventions. Be modest with your character's equipment.
    ((Just going to drop this here, an excerpt from the rules. OOC, you can build the ship as big as you want, but it will not be representative of what you have IC. In Character you should never have a capital ship as your personal shuttle, Antares is a frontier, that kind of thing just doesn't exist in the setting,))​
