With it's oversized comms array, robust landing legs, heavy duty thrusters and armor shell, the Archelon series can be found operating as everything from salvage tugboats and freighters to search and rescue.

if anyone needs the fix for the cargo ramp all you have to do is change the off value of the yellow sequencer gate under the pannel that has the white circle with the 3 red lines to 50 instead of 51. then delete the top bit of the ramp lower it then replace it.
if you need help with getting the paint to be the same all you have to do is take any block and hold the middle mouse button and select the pick paint button.
and if you don't know how to align the blocks with how he placed the all you have to do is press F1 then go to grid settings and switch the placement grid origin from global grid origin to targeted grid origin.

This is a wonderful build. Thank you for sharing.

Love this ship Dolan! The flow of it and detail is really impressive. Reminds me of the Starfarer from Star Citizen. Only thing I would say is that the cargo space seems a little small for the size of the ship, but otherwise an awesome job.

Good to see you here Dolan. I'm looking forward to seeing some more classic spaceship designs!

Heh, I thought this had a familiar feel to it!

@OverSavior
Thanks! And you bet she's Alien inspired! I recommend checking out the work of Ron Cobb, Syd Mead, Chris Foss if this sort of thing is your jam, gorgeous stuff!

Fantastic work. I can certainly tell this one was largely inspired by the Alien, am I right? At least it has a very similar feeling to that of Nostromo (which I should really build one day haha...)
