Starsurfer-class REDO (WIP) shuttle concept. by Starlite-Official on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

Something I'm playing with for the Starsurfer-class, a small, spherical shuttle that sits atop the ship and when finished, will have to robotic arms on either side and some thruster pods. As well as a basic interior.

I made the window asymmetric, and I like the idea. But this is just a concept shuttle to see if I liked the idea of a small shuttle on the back or not. I'm going to make a new, more detailed one.

Mark Rademaker's IXS Enterprise (The inspiration for the general design parameters for my entire series) also has a small, spherical shuttle as well, though that one has a warp drive, where this one will not.

Rather it'll be more like a "UFO" in terms of propulsion, using a series of gravitic thrusters and conventional RCS thrusters to maneuver. It's not more than a few meters in diameter, so it'll only have one or two seats inside.
