“2 million dead by the first day. Another 7 million by the end of the first week”
As told in the first official Mass Effect announcement video. There is no official Normandy SR3.
But this is my concept version of Normandy SR3.
Model Explanation:
I add a whole floor plan for the top level (Previously only captain cabin). A new set wings using hydraulic mechanism that will allow the wings to split into four. Probably will resemble Star Wars X-wing, with the top set of wings is shorter from the lower set. But when the wings close down it will resemble sr2 wings.
Previous Normandy sr2 had fairly large thruster and sr1 had quite flexible one that can be directed at many direction. For this, I just make them double the count of back thruster from previous one. I also make them flexible to swivel several degree in up and down direction.
In SR2 version I think this front thrusters doesn't function at all and only stand as a decoration. In SR1 the front thrusters use often in high gravity world. At this part I design the front thruster a bit different from both previous versions. I equip them with new design The new design work using basic hydraulic mechanism. Move outward for obtain more focus and backward to expand the thruster range.
Fix note: Reduce the number of the windows. Alliance Color Concept Implementation.
I love how this Normandy has the same characteristic shape and profile, but it has a faster, more aggressive look to it. However, it seems rather large for a frigate (although the SR-2 was as well), and it seems the "heat sink" feature would be difficult with such large, powerful thrusters and the sheer size. However, it is a neat concept.
This looks a lot like what I had in mind for the ship I'm going to be using in my new book. It's an original project, not an ME fanfic, but I did base the design off my ship on the Normandy because I like the look. This looks fantastic. Not completely what I wanted, but pretty damn close. Great work.
This is pretty cool. Though the first two Normandies, especially SR1, had a very sleek, streamlined and futuristic shape. This concept, on the other hand, feels rather retro and squarish.
Has that high-military standard with high-class civilian accommodations placed in one stealth packed frigate. I like it!
I was thinking of using it in a fanfic I'm working on. It would fit right in with the story
In fact I'm tempted to ask if I can use this design in a fanfic I'm writing. It looks so much like what I had in mind.
I'll make sure I say that you made the design, promise. I don't use devintart in my work unless I have permission from the artist.
Probably it looked that way because my lack of skill.
