Named for the Egyptian serpent god, the Nehebkau-class corvette is an exploration vessel designed to operate in high-gravity environments. The shape of the main fuselage provides substantial lift, and the ship's Titan boosters provide forward thrust and supplimental lift in high-AOA flight, especially during flight transitions or on landing approach.
I wanted a purpose built scrap hauler so I built a light container ship. Built an extended arm off the right side to attach containers to and allow for engine placement. The interior isn't 100% yet, but it will get there.
Every body has such cool and battle ready ships, I have been playing with this clunker for years, sadly there is a piece that isn't attached so I cant edit the frame no longer I wanted to add the knew junk ports, 90% of the inside is furnished,
Tawnos's Coffin is a purpose-built blockade runner owned and operated by Dread Pirate V'Kul X. They are currently employed by The Syndicate, an illicit goods dealer working across multiple galaxies in a network of black market exporters.
The Coffin was designed as a mobile base of operations for smuggling enterprises. This blockade runner moves quality goods over quantity - the custom hold carries rare and exotic treasures, minerals, fossils, and illegal plant life, sometimes totaling millions of credits at a time. A hidden grow lab under the main living space provides the facilities to grow and harvest especially potent (and finicky) strains of Nip-Nip.
Tawnos's Coffin uses a gold alloy plating to deflect radiation and protect highly sensitive exotic goods. The Coffin also features a full spread of offensive and defensive technologies. For security, all 9 of the outboard cannons (3 Deadeye, and 6 Plasma) are hidden within the plating of the vessel, letting it masquerade as a civilian transport.
The tractor beam on the exterior of the hull opens up to a custom cold storage unit, with two articulating robot arms for careful loading. Inside the main ship, there's a full bar, a commissar, sleeping units for 4, and a surgery with three stasis pods for transporting prisoners. Multiple viewing decks allow the Coffin to oversee mining or manufacturing facilities from atmosphere when V'Kul does rounds over the Syndicate's vast criminal network.

This is another riff on the original designs by u/Beckhaver and his wonderful Autophage Merchant vessel. The Titan-class engines mounted in the middle give this ship a strong post-apocalyptic / illegal technology vibe that I'm in love with. I painted the entire vessel in tan/brown rust and then hit the top panels with gold.
There's a forward-facing entrance right next to the cockpit for ease of use when you're in a station. Great quality of life! The full bar inside the nose makes for even better quality of life!
Avionica Vertrice Experimentál's latest corvette, is their first in the new M line. The M, stands for both Medical and Military, and, is designed to take a hit, and deliver it, while also aiding in the extraction of wounded soldiers. The lower level, is geared and built with two-four surgical suites, med-pods, and beds for up to four less-critically wounded soldiers. The upper deck, is for storage and hauling any salvaged materials that, may include the remains from crews on attacked or downed freighters. Intended to work with a coordinated strike and recover team.
Exterior is pretty much finalized but wanted to show some of my additions. The reality stabilizer ship has integrated sentinel parts on the far side of the ship that are being grafted to the ship as it's a sort of 'living' ship as it's an autophage itself. Even when reality starts to fall apart, the ship is able to travel and try to keep it together.
Never travel the collapsing realities alone when your techno living ship is there to keep you company. 😆
