Your challenge this week is to design an original spaceship. It can be anything from a small personal travel device to a massive warship. It is up to you.
The winner this week will receive a HeroMachine rendering of my design of the winning ship’s pilot/captain

wondering if theres a site like Heromachine to help design a starship. I’ve a design in mind for a story I’m planning and can only draw out on paper. Thanks
As of HeroMachine 3, you can use it to draw just about anything… And I suspect that’s the purpose of this challenge! I’m not the person to guide you through it, as I pretty much dropped out when this one came out… a bit too complex for me! But, if you take different components, rotate them around, move them around, and then color them, you may find you’ve got a cool spacship… Or, a Giant Squid… Or a Giant Starship designed to look like a Squid! 😀

As the population grows at an exponential rate well into the 24th century, the Human Race is pushed ever farther into the Milky Way. New colonies are established at a rate the Interstellar Alliance can’t keep up with, leading to a rise in piracy. While wealthier colonies could afford the ships to put up a fight, poorer ones where often easy pickings. The Kambei-class light cruiser by Brynner Ship Works was the first successful attempt to produce a combat capable vessel at a low cost. The Kambei featured modular weapons systems and a hangar that could hold up to six Samurai-class fighters, or simply extra cargo. Without weapons or fighters the Kambei fell within the price range of many transport vessels available to even the poorest settlers, while settlers with a little more to spare could outfit their ships with whatever weapons and fighters they felt necessary. A fully armed Kambei could easily hold it’s own against pirate ships, while even lightly armed ones could do enough damage to outweigh the cost of anything the pirates might steal. The Kambei quickly became the go-to ship for colony settlers, as their reputation alone was enough to make most space pirates think twice about attacking one.

Here is my entry, the “Dawn Rider”. It’s an exploration class space craft outfitted with combat capabilities. Fast, light, and agile. Able to jump to lightspeed as it traverses uncharted planetary systems.
