Here: Front view of the imperial carrier SENECA. The command tower in 
the middle has been completed, but there are still many details for me 
to develop for the two side bays and parts of the ship center.

Background:

The SENECA is a giant ship and capable of carrying thousands of crafts 
of all sizes. Inside its two side bays the SENECA can carry a view large 
cruisers (as a mobile space station) and dozens or hundreds of the 
smaller ship classes. Human crew is not neccessary as these imperial 
space carriers are fully automatized. In resource-rich environments such 
as asteroid fields or planets, it can even automatical harvest resources 
required, automatically assemble probes and smaller vessels, and launch 
them on a permanent base. This way, it can also repair itself.
The SENECA does not use any chemical propulsion system which is the 
reason you won't see any open parts. The SENECA uses an internal 
gravitron drive. The SENECA "was" built shortly before the jumping drive 
came in use and made such huge long-range ships obsolete.

Scene File:

Already now, the file is designed to be used for animations, and I did 
already a brief animation of ten seconds. The disadvantage is that each 
frame takes its time due the many divisions I have to do, since I do all 
coding "by hand", without any 3D editor. No polygon shapes used, just 
divided standard shapes.

I also did a starbase which was partially hand-coded and partially 
automatically generated through a self-written computer program. I might 
use that program for some parts of the two side bays of the SENECA, as 
well. But not sure yet.

Further intentions: creating jumper ships and many smaller vessels.
