Hi all,
Thanks everybody for the comments!
Details are coming. The Hull is still WIP. I have just been busy making some of the major structures (arboretum, com array, shuttlebay, interior bridge and workstations, etc.)
On the comment about the "saucer"...I'm guessing you mean the forward diamond shape. The ship is intentionally designed to stay away from "curves" and the pretty, sleek looking ships of the Star Trek world.
A little more info on the series...hmmm...okay...
Not much I can say except it is in a very early concept stage. We would like to present a full episode in at least nice quality DIVX, broken up into downloadable chunks. From there, if there is interest, we will make more (we will probably make more anyway...Destiny is very close to our hearts). We are looking at several CGI character animation possibilites and trying to make that perfect balance between budget and quality. We actually have a concept on an entirely new story-telling method and we are running some tests. If it pans out, I think viewers will find it innovative, original and refreshing.
As for the story itself...a little beyond what I already wrote if anyone is interested at this point:
The esc Destiny Project was funded by a few very large businesses located in several major countries....as was most of the space program infrastructure in place in the year 2078. The thing that makes Destiny special is that it represents a Quantum Leap (pardon the expression, but it is a valid one) in theoretical hyperspace travel. Due to the realization of solved equations that were once just theory, it is now possible to do some REAL scientific exploring. That is the Destiny's purpose, but one crewmember specifically placed on board by the Earth Space Consortium (ESC) is there to make sure that she is also profitable...searching out possible mining areas and possibilites of precious ore. The captain is often torn between the awe of scientific discovery and this guy with dollar signs breathing down his neck....but that's just one of the little on-going things. I know with just this little tidbit, it probably seems kind of boring, but we have lots of great plans. Whether they will ever see fruition, time will tell. But as long as it is a fun project to work on and budget doesn't kill us, we will keep going.
