posticon Cargo Ship - Desmodus

With the Highgate Sanitarium map due for official release any day now, I've been working on the next map when time permits.
A discussion with Draco about the potential usefullness of any following project persuaded me to go with the Cargo Ship idea.

Heres a dev. screenie of the exterior area, I'll also be doing a Storm version, Docked Version and a Ghost Ship version.

Image
The length of the ship stretches almost to the limits of the mapping grid!


I'm also looking for a good name for the ship emoticon

Re: And the next project begins!

Heres another pic to give you some idea of the scale of the ship. Its also at a very rough undetailed stage so i can connect the different areas together. I usually work on a basic outline and structure before revisiting each area to put in the fine details, objects and machinery.

The cargo containers on the deck are deleteable templates so the ST can configure the ship according to the story. Also, the ship name plates can be deleted so it can represent any generic cargo vessel.


Image
Due to the size of the ship, there will appear to be area's of the water that are cut short when viewed from the bow and stern. Theres nothing I can do about that though.
