A near zero G spot? A few meters wide is way, way, way too big.

WHy, Ent's was comparitively large? This one would need to be much smaller. If not meters, then a little bigger than the hatch. Also, you could just reposition the pod so that it is at like a 70 deg. angle or lower, then have a step ladder to get into the pod.
Also, on a Shik-like state of mind, a meter sized G-spot would be scary.

It's quite simple. The grav plating is on and the crew enter through the "top hatch" (which from the outside is a wall hatch) and once they swing their legs in there's an internal ladder for them to climb down (horizontally) to the deck floor. It's a bit queasy but that's not a big deal during an emergency and it's simple enough to visualise if you've seen Kubrick's 2001.

Ahhh I'd forgotten about the top hatch. I'd imagined that they'd have to climb in from the bottom, from the deck below.
Anyways thoroughly checked my RAM through memtest and one stick of it is definitely up shit creek. So I've gotta to send it back to Corsair and get a replacement, God knows how long that'll take. At least it has lifetime warranty though.

Ok, I know I said I was done, but there were a few details that were bugging me (like the saucer rim nor having floor space to accommodate the escape pods AND a corridor) so here we go again...

So the USS Serenity is undergoing a compression coil refit, huh? Nice.

Well I managed to steal 1 gig of decent RAM out of my brothers PC so been working on this a little more. Felt a little burned out with doing the saucer so I did another part, the nacelle pylon thingie.
Anyways it's fully modelled, I hope, and trying out new larger textures (although can't really see them too well unless the light is just right). Not sure of the material properties as it's looking a little too metallic, so I may tinker with them to get them looking a little more like plastic.
And I just noticed Rev has gone and changed the pylons in those last two images, sods law eh?
And here's a test render vid showing the material. Too metallic?
Edit: Making them clickable thumbnails now
