Well, a bit more spec-glos editing to get that metal look.
It certainly looks like a speciality ship with that stealthy nose

A bit, but I'm hung up on how much it looks like a coffin. I had to do something about that for the new one.

what's the English collective noun for coffins?
We may still have a few of those too but I'm told the wooden finish is outmoded and they all want to be sent off in glossy colours. A stealth nose is an expensive extra.

I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!

That Cequququian wolf steak is optimally paired with a Laxerivian Romanée could be open for debate, but as to the sordid truth behind the Witchspace Lobster Cult there is little doubt

The seventh pic - lovely shot of a silverback! Is there a graphics wizard who could cut that warship out for me?

So how many different versions of the Thargoid warship are there?
The
wiki page shows only six.

That'll be the Griff version (or maybe the core equivalent) - Admiral? I call it a silverback mainly because of its colour, which I think was originally the slightly toughened warship variant in Griff's shipset. Silverback gorillas are the boss, hence the name.

Some random screenies found inside a test folder. Not sure if I've posted any of those before, but I hope you will enjoy them
Damn, what kind of PC setup do I need to see pics like that?

Your Mac should be just fine, Murgh. I've shot those on an old Intel Pentium 4415U @ 2.30GHz Windows laptop with 4GB RAM and an Intel gfx chip.
