Revisited the Shepard class with added weapon hard points, keep the design fairly close to the original model. ~~3D print to come later.~~ Print completed and added to this update. The model turned out OK, going to need to adjust the temperature of the printer again, ambient temp here in Canada is getting colder and you can see where the filament did not bind together correctly in parts of this print which should be solved by bringing the temperature up slightly.

3 Ships still left to bring into the new design of modular weapons. going forward I am going to try and design a new ship in-between each redesign and try and fill in missing ship classes by going over @oriskany’s project updates and picking out as much as possible. next up is the Valcour Class Destroyer shown below. nearly ready to be printed and have its own post although I am considering flipping the rear and front railgun turrets to the underside so they do not hang over the front.
