S.S. Opal Star Concept

Description

This is one of those..what if's. I was taken back by this render by :iconmototsume: (I remembered the modeler so well for his Antares Mesh and Space Station K-7). So I popped by to see the King Charles, and said "Hey, wouldn't this fit nicely for another project I'm doing namely which is property of :iconpaudraic:. My last attempt was perfect....for probably the late 23rd Centry, besides it has a flaw other then being boxy and anguar...it may have Star Trek elements but as J.J. Abrams proved....This is not Star Trek. So I decided to go back to the drawing board and then found this.

The Opal star is a Star Trek design, although not canon. True it is way larger then my last attempt, but it is a cruise liner, and it does have the potental to even make planet fall. This render is of the Opal Star for my Durango series, what do you think? Is it a natural, or not?

I wonder why TV/movie spaceships are invariably designed as though there is an “up” and “down” in space. Even when a bunch of ships come together, you’ll notice they’re always oriented with their “up” pointing in the same direction.
