In fact, it's your worst nightmare desgined by immensly stupid aliens with a
very weird imagination. Alien body - alien psychology. "These aliens are
crazy!"
Now you all probably think that this ship goes left as forwards. but not. it
goes RIGHT, in the complete opposite direction of any logic of a normal
minded person. the huge back, which looks like a good place for a large
exhuast, is actually the front, and what would have been the exhuast hole is
actually a very big forward light.
"General, yes, also spaceships need lights. How else are we going to
navigate in space? It's dark out there!"

Anyway i plan on adding media to the front so that it actually looks like a
projector, and all those reversed cylinders will be the real exhuast of the
engine, so i'll have to add a lot of media exhuast-fire to those little
things. The texture is none other than Pov for windows' "Texture example"
right out of the Insert menu, except i changed the lines from red to blue.

Looks like that planet-eating thing on the old star trek series...

I hear jingle bells when I see it ;-) just rotate 90 degrees.

If it was built by *really* mind-warped aliens, it would go somewhere
towards
the viewer as forwards while tumbling not around its symmetry axis but a
even
weirder one ;)
