I totally agree with what you are saying. Cockpits and interiors are good to be seperate, for rendering animations seperately. I wonder tho, having found the labor involved for a simple ship is way over what the market will bear. I realize that plenty of people might sit down to do a Battlestar just out of sheer fandom, but they can't sell the darn thing when they are done. It would be wiser for recouping the losses to make one's own massive colony ship or whatever. I tried the ship market and found that there was no way to ever make one's investment back, (being that ships are not butt naked sex pots) and you really have to be in it for fun. That being said, I agree that a scale standard is a good idea. Maybe, one step further, would be a group of people working on an original ship for the Marketplace. This way the ship could be really, really cool, I do know that lots of people want really nice sci-fi props, without one person winding up looking like Gandalf the Grey when they are done!;) It is very nice of you Numanoid to do so much work for the community by the way. Keep up the good work!
