Hi everyone, 

For a while now, I've been thinking about making a deckplan for some kind of stealth ship, but for one reason or another, this has always wanted to drag on. Well, now it's finally here :) 

One source of inspiration for this one was the Anubis-class stealth ships of The Expanse, and another was my friend's actual play series set in the Mass Effect universe (unfortunately only in Finnish!) 

The ship was originally supposed to be on a single level, but it turned out to be triple-decker. This took a bit more time than planned, but I guess you won't mind this, though :) 

Have fun with Heron and thanks for the support!

PS. Due to urgent matters, the map of the shipwrecked in the jungle didn't make it to this month's releases but will be out next week!

The Heron is a stealth cruiser with three decks designed for reconnaissance and espionage missions. 

The main deck has a bridge and a large operations center that can be used for data analysis and other research. A state-of-the-art mass reactor in the center of the ship will allow the ship to travel faster than light and also provide its unique stealth characteristics. 

The crew quarters and cargo holds are on the lower deck, and on the upper deck is the ship's engine room.

I love all of your starship designs. Have you considered creating token sized versions of each ship’s hull? Perhaps as one large release? I love using your designs for ship layout, but when, using the same model for space combat, it would be nice to have the same design as a miniature. I’ve tried reducing the size myself. The quality is terrible. Lol. Thanks, keep up the amazing work.

This is something that has been in plans, but we haven't had time to focus on it yet. Things might change soon as we are switching around jobs and assignments inside the team.
