Description
Okay, the Heavy Freighter by itself with the various cargo pods attached.
Using the Liberty ship concept from WWII, you could build a modular ship design and turn out hundreds of them in short order. Same concept here: Add a section and a drive unit to a light freighter and you have a medium class. Add two more primary sections and a fourth drive and you have a heavy class freighter.
Of course it isn't quite that simple as you need more structural reinforcement, fuel storage, consumable storage, and berthing for a larger crew, etc.
I may not churn out anything for a while. I'm taking down the Render machine, stripping it down to the frame, cutting more fan access holes for grills, adding more fans, adding a second drive (going to RAID 0 format), and redoing the lighting scheme from the original configuration located here:

I have the raw DXF format as well as Lightwave 5.5 (LWO) format objects I can send you as well as JPG textures if you want to see if you can import them. Probably the biggest change is the system will run cooler (that is the major goal). Plus I have been dodging a bullet for a while now not having a consistent backup schedule on Aggememnon's HDD (recently cloned it onto a new HDD as the old one was at 52% on its lifespan according to the HDD Health application I use to monitor my HDDs.
