[/url] was always keen at making ships with self sustainable abilities to support deep space exploration. The Druid and Milesians can both survive without any Uranium or ice to produce oxygen and hydrogen. But the trade off of such functionality is a higher cost.

T.N.N.S.F., as a science foundation, doesn't have incredible amount of stable income. The foundation tried to ease the financial pressure by contracting military ships before, but the competition with other companies were ruthless, and the high cost of T.N.N.S.F. ships further worsen the situation.

After many meetings, T.N.N.S.F. concluded there are more market potential in simple, cheap but more pervasive civilian ships. With the new goal in mind, the engineers tried a brand new design direction to blend sharp edge with smooth surface. It is rumored that some of the alien aesthetic from Sky Diva also got integrated into the design. The result is a great success, this new born ship radiates a sense of luxury yet with a surprisingly affordable cost.

To suit its crystal like appearance, the ship was given a beautiful name ── Rutile

I actually built this entire ship from scratch in just one weekend! It's amazing when the creative ideas just click, it's unstoppable.

I also tried a new designing approach this time, usually I demand a clear functional goal like being able to leave planets without hydrogen such as Corvus, having a hangar and a observation deck, etc. At the end of construction I would always be struggling to "decorate" the hull with more design after the functional goals are met. If I couldn't come up with a finishing touch I'm satisfied with before motivation runs dry, the project got suspended or even abandoned.

This time, I just started to build simple geometries that looked pleasing to the eye without any other limitations. I'm happy with the result, though functionalities are limited, but a capable ship none the less.
