small problem, the lounge deck (2nd floor) is unpressurized, it has a leak somewhere and is not airtight

"I hunted rebels for a cruel and unjust law
No remorse, no guilt or pity, no matter what I saw
I could never comprehend how all of this would come to end
I just thought I would survive"

The Alpha-Dash-Niner is how the first communication of the song begins, so I thought it'd be appropriate to name a solar sailing ship "Sundancer" and have that reference for those who like this kind of connection to a song, which I've done in the past with my other ships :)

Keldian is a Norwegian metal band that usually writes and sings metal relating to Sci-Fi or space-y stuff. This particular song is I believe a reference to the Freelancer and Starlancer games by Chris Roberts. It tells of a Freelance gunrunner that has sold his/her life away for just money, characterized by the verse "My thirty coins of silver carried back with pride". Moreover, it continues by calling the Sundancer (possibly the character's ship) the Starlancer, quoting how much hope it betrayed. This could be an allusion to the fact that the Sundancer used to be Starlancer and was a mercenary ship in a turbulent past. It could mean that the pilot (or crew) noticed all the wrong things they did, from this part of the song:

As much as I'd love it to be the Sexy Sailor Impaler Alpha Dog "Dash" Ninth Born, the name does indeed have meaning behind it.
SSI comes from Shiro Shipyards Incorporated, as is the lore company I made up to manufacture ships, as you can see in the very first image of the post itself. The Sundancer A-9 comes from the Keldian song "Sundancer" as it is quoted in the very first paragraph!

So I see all these ships and they look amazing. This one included. Not a single one explains a thing about the name breakdown. What does "SSI" mean?! Sexy Ship Investigator? Super Sayin Improvisor? Shiro's Solar Imploder? Solar Sailor Imposter? No clue. Then the A-9. I see "Alpha-dash-niner". Ummmmm, it's just.....stated for me. So, I will say it means "A" as in Alpha (First in the series of dogs) and the number "9" just means it is number 9 of 726 dogs. Because we can't really say canine because it doesn't say "K-9". So this is the first series of dogs but was number nine born. So, I am going to pick what I think best fits. This ship is called the Sexy Sailor Impaler (SSI) Sundancer Alpha Dog "Dash" Ninth Born (A-9). Or, for short, SSI Sundancer A-9. Impressive!

@Soundwave
Thank you!

@Whiplash141
Thank you, fancy seeing you here! And damn, I'll have a look asap, thank you for the heads up!
Whiplash141 27 Jun, 2022 @ 10:07pm 
Awesome work!

Also a heads up, it looks like the lounge is not airtight. The two blue slope corners on the roof near the front seem to be the issue.
