@ Kajikimusha1: I don't really know, I wanted a dedicated salvage vessel with speed and manueverability, and I was running through my head some of the basic design concepts.
With the basic design in my head of a body with everything I need built into it, and lots of large forward and aft facing thrusters. I wanted the thrusters to expand out from the body sideways to make the ship wide enough that I could attach multiple derelicts to it.
Once I had a basic layout set in my head, all hell broke loose!
"What Flies around looking for dead things to eat - VULTURES!" and there's the name.
"Ooo! I can sweep the wingy bits forward in an arc to make them look like wings! That would be cool!!"
Oooo! and I can put spikes stiking out of the ends of the wings to look just like th large flight feathers on a vulture's wingtips!!!"
and from there it just kept going and going until the result is what you see here.

I second what @Darkaiser said: A work of art, definitely. Beautiful work!

Truly a nice vessel.What inspired you to build a bird shaped vessel such as this?Was it the Cygnus from the PS1 game Saga Frontier?Oh no.did i just give you a new project to work on?Although,that would be cool making the Cygnus in SE,lol.

Thanks!
Check back in a few days, I'll be experimenting tomorrow to see if I can put in a Grav Drive system for greater acceleration!
