And here i reach the end of a large project. yay!

If i had a spaceship of my own this is what it would be.
This ship is capable of traveling interstellar, with cryogenic crew storage for long term flight. large green farming areas can be seen inside. The crew is asisted and the ship is maintained mostly by robotic equipment and AI. the ship itself (not counting ramjet cone) is 432M long.

Components:
 1 large Hydrogen fusion engine. (not in view here)
1 GIANT thin ramjet cone 925M across to capture hydrogen gas for fuel. (is collapsible)
1 Heat shield for aerobraking and near star approaches.
2 cargo arms on rails.
1 large cargo bay.
1 bay containing small robotic spacecraft and probes that can be deployed for further research and observation.
1 large Centrifuge ring, along with counter wheel to counteract centrifuge rotation, also used for water and waste treatment.
2 large solar panels.
6 Large replaceable Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTG) for power
2 science platforms for observing and mapping planets and objects.
8 Xray telescopes for X-ray pulsar-based navigation and timing (XNAV) systems. accurate within +-0.5 Km
1 large communications and radio antenna.
6 docking ports.
1 control and observation area overseeing the docking and cargo area.
Large habitable area, safe zones along with sleeping and cryogenic areas. surrounded by fuel tanks to protect from radiation.
8 giant giro wheels for rotation control.
28 retro rockets for linear positioning, also used as backups if giro wheels fail for spacecraft rotation controll.
12 large hydrogen storage tanks, each can hold up to 28100 Cubic Meters in fuel. each has valves for external filling, and doors for spacewalk entry in the event that internal repairs are needed.
The ship also carrys along 2 snowflakes shuttles, (seen here The Snowflake) and 2 delta shuttles (seen here Space Shuttle) leaving 2 open docking ports for incoming craft.

i would love to have this in Orbiter one day or Space-Engine oh murr makes me purr. <3

I haven't done much with the blender cycles engine, but with this ship i learned so many new things.
It's a very powerful tool to play with!
I really wanted to get the materials and textures right on this ship, and from the looks of it I'm happy. ^^

Made in Blender 3D Cycles, Render time 2hours 05min. Textures made in Gimp and camera photos. made from July 11 to October 13. very spaced out work times.
