The Gypsey Vanner Medium Rig is progressing okay. When I left it last night, I was losing faith in the design, specifically the back end. It looked crude and a bit weird. This morning's polygon bashing has brought it back for me.
Time for a crit!
Key changes:
I want a rail on the fuel tank support rings. Those tanks come out by sliding forward. Maybe I should add tiny vernier thusters on the tank so they can guide themselves in?
The cargo rack is messy. I should redo it with cleaner lines.
The mid-section thruster block needs more work and detail. Like the forward thruster blocks, it is a detachable module.

The nose section should contain some fold-out sensors, chiefly a parabolic dish on a mast. If it looks too distracting, I'll go with something simpler.
Although I now like the back end, it needs to be broken up a bit. Some detail blocks and possibly a docked drone/decoy on the top/centre line.
