Shadow Star: ConFed Modular Starship

Shadow Star was designed with the intention of having fleets of modular starships that snap together in square segments like Legos. Each module containing an interior and exterior which can take 2 stages of damage: Superficial, Structural, Destroyed.

Apart from being visual, your ships modules also impact your ship's performance, defense, offense, sensors, and life aboard the ship. It also allows us as artists to rapidly assemble whole fleets of diverse ship layouts rapidly, with lower overhead costs.

This method proved ultimately a little performance heavy. A "shell" model of the ship needed to be baked when saved to the engine for distant lod and that means each ship needed a new tool to do that, which is beyond my expertise. We'd have to make one from scratch for each ship unless we can make lod shells in engine. But it is very cool and could inspire future work.
