    The ship itself looks very neat and with a lot of wonderful details already. Only nitpick in my view would be the shard itself. Compared to the fine linework of the ship and the cage it looks a bit ... clumpy(?) Maybe adding some more details to the texture of it or just giving it another basic shape?
    Btw. what is it with the second cage at the prow? Is there another smaller shard?

    Looking forward to see it coming together
    Hey Abu! You were absolutely right about the shard. I had dropped it in as a sort of place holder, but knowing myself I would probably have kept it as it was. Thanks to your suggestion, I went and redid it completely. It's now more of a humongous crystal, which means I'll have to change my backstory a bit (now it might be a cave that got exposed during the earthquake? Maybe? I don't know), but that's nothing I worry too much about.

    The second cage at the prow is actually an observation orb, split in two levels. The top-down plans should help identify it as such, but I gave the orb its very own redesign to set it apart from the RCS (Radiation Containment Sphere), just to be sure.

    Ooh thanks! I'm trying to give my structure maps a bit more of a handdrawn feel, since some people felt my previous map looked a bit too computer-generated, but I realise I still have a long way to go. So yeah, I'm glad you're happy with the ropes!

    ---------------------

    Alright, update! Gave the main image a splash of colour, and added actual deck plans. These aren't finished yet, but I felt like sharing them already
