I built a ginormous Enterprise D, with 4 rockets on each nacelle. I ended up doing the saucer by drawing a quarter-circle, then copy & flipping it. That was after I'd spent a couple hours trying to draw a circle the hard way.
Even now, the uneven shapes of the base bits, and the way walls connect depending on angle, make eyeballing symmetry challenging, I find.

Looking nice!
Every time I try to come up with a visually good looking ship I end up with Flying Box or Gigacock.

Sick design, purely for art or are you doing runs with that bad boy?

Thank you! Will use it in my first space age playthrough that I'm doing with a friend currently.

It's more firefly looking for me.

Symmetry is hard on platforms, isn't it?

I salute you; this is impressive!

Thanks :) And yes, symmetry can be quite the headache.

I immediately have a flashback to Peter Watts's Blindsight.
