Interplanetary transport ship
I will model an interplanetary military space transporter (humans). It is able to enter and leave the atmosphere and takes off vertically.

Sketches.... what sketches? I bumped into the page, before the sketches were up, and after the latest post was made....
I like the idea... sketches look fine. [Note to myself: add sketch utilisation to the modeling process]
Looking forward to the first models.
cheers

I uploaded a first modeling screenshot. I'm not happy with the proportions of the ship. It's too long and not elegant. It should definitely look more "sexy". Many details are still missing too.
@patrick: Thanks. You won't be able to play it, as far as I know, but it could be used as a player ship in future missions. Maybe a special ship class would be needed to animate the engines.
Should I model an open cargo door? (but then the model couldn't be used for flying anymore)

This is not mutually exclusive... model the bay door as a separate object, that way it can be moved into a position in which it's needed. (provided that it is a simple door - aka. only one (or two) simple flap[s])
Or it could be used in the fps parts... (although I am not quite sure how)

Thanks for your feedback. I like wales! This ship model is called "orca"
Modeling finished. To do: Smoothing, some mesh optimisations and of course textures.

Bit story snippet for the Orca:
"The Orca is a military transport ship. It is very well armored, but is not used at the front lines, because it is too big and too clumsy. It's clumsiness is compensated by its high speed and the good armor makes it the perfect ship for the transport of valuable or hazardous goods. Also the Orca is a hybrid atmosphere-space ship. Its widely movable thrusters are perfect to land where normal ships cannot get to. So the Orca can fly into areas where troops may be stationed and where it is difficult too send in back up. The Orca is mainly a transporter for equipment and arms, but there are Orcas with modifications so they can be used as troop transporters."

@all: thanks!
@beni: great description, I'll add it to the wiki page.
@patrick: Good idea, but not for this presentation.
Yes, it will be used in this presenstation if the hangar is ready too. x3n?
Smoothing done:
Still a lot to do... but only wimps need sleep
