I have not thought about this much -- I may have to go back and do some GIMPing.

Surprised you haven't gone back and photoedited this one?

Outstanding work, it didn't look like LEGO from the thumbnail. Great hull shape!

Thank You Sir -- that means quite a bit to me. Thanks!

The "drive" essentially hooks onto the underlying gravity waves found through out space and most especially around planets and stars. It can either "surf" the "waves" of a star system or create a "variable harmonic" that can either force the ship out of the gravity well or inward toward the star. For interstellar travel it relies on gravity waves that connect stars with each other -- the only problem is that not all stars are connected nor are all stars connected with their close proximity neighbors. The "paddle wheel" design was one of the first gravity drives followed several decades later by the "impeller" drive. Current research and development is focused on a "variable immersion" design.

I love Sci-Fi and have read from Asimov to Zelazny. I also enjoy reading science journals and have fun coming up with various ideas...

Just read what you wrote about the drive system. Sounds like that's exactly how the Cylon Baseships must move. Battlestar Wiki didn't even offer a theory as to how they moved, but this seems like a great answer!

This is actually a pretty clean ship from the top! 4/5.

This is exactely the shape I love !!!! Super cool ship !!

The ship almost looks like some sort of creature almost.

Interesting spaceship. Could you elaborate further on the propulsion method?

Thank you, Sir. And before anyone asks where the "engines" are, it uses a "reaction-less drive" which requires no reaction mass for propulsion. Instead it uses a field manipulation drive. The four extensions from the hull create what is in effect four giant paddle wheels.

Wicked! Great shape!
