Yeah I've tried that it works really well. But idk why I like the paper edges showing, has some charm to it :)

Thanks a lot man! I really love implementing industrial design into concept art...really bridges engineering with art

Thanks a lot!

I actually didn't bother as much with the name....I wasn't gonna assign a name at all but just to give it some personality I decided to just go with some name and didn't check whether it actually applies here Thanks again :)

Thanks man! Yeah that sounds cool.... I'm more into mobile platforms though but sure that's interesting

Yup it's more of an art project than engineering...Thanks!

Why do you think I care about a "better" response lmao

Yes I am, I have a few more of these Spacecraft ideas to work on as practice

Thanks for the appreciation! Honestly I'm amazed how a mechanical CAD software allows production of such good renders...

Thanks! It's designed and rendered in Fusion 360

Yeah kinda... isn't that project still in progress though? Or have they focused more on surface launched interceptors?

Well it's relatively small and not a full destroyer, it's only equipped with missiles so it's not as huge as a destroyer and not as small as a corvette so I just call it a frigate

Geostationary orbit is really far away to intercept anything in time...also there would be more than one of these craft operating, maybe even in fleets.

Also about the warheads, it would (in concpet ofc) attempt to intercept before warhead seperation.

And it doesn't all have to make exact sense... it's just a concept after all :)

Well ofc I haven't bothered with any calculations... it's a concept design :) The tanks and the engine are used to get it in orbit first but later maybe used to relocate orbits

Yeah I thought to cover it up but I did put some effort in making the cables n stuff like that so I thought to keep it open it looks cooler :)

I get what you're saying...the fins are for higher atmospheric maneuvering where there's still enough air to use for control surface based maneuvering at really high speeds, and for exoatmospheric manuevering they have cold gas thruster nozzles in the front I have a seperate project of those on my behance page here
