Made with 6x6 set of Spaceship Tiles currently under
development. Main thing looked for here was wether the
tiles starfield background would be seamless.
This is a lo-res version - do not download - see link.

Nice, but the starfield isn't seamless, as I'm sure you know. Not that I think it really matters, anyway.

Nicely done in almost all areas. However, the curved sections of bulkhead
annoy me. That wall works when straight but looks wierd in the curved areas.
There probably should be a fix though. Everything else looks cool, and I
don't have a problem with the starfield. Might need a little bit more "tech fill"
between the bulkhead area, but that's just my opinion.

You caught me... but pretty close - the previous one had pretty pinkish starclouds that caused horrible joins when rotated.

Annoys me too - was going to ignore it and hope no-one commented on it. 
But as you have pointed it out, here are possible solutions. By extracting the texture (don't have the
original) and running it through a seamless texture maker tool in Paint.net [btw a tool I couldn't get
to work on the starfield], and then also possibly enhancing by hand. As indicated below. As there need be
surprising few curves tiles this task would not be difficult. [Really the corner is just the one tile with
different insides.] I didn't extract the texture very well in the diagram below, but it gives a hint as to
how it would look.
Either of the variants better?

Initial tiles will be relativelly empty to see how they fit together. Later ones will get more techy bits to
clutter them up. Clutter, such as cargo, can also be added on the fly by anyone with a graphics program,
or added as overlays.
P.S. Thanks GD for starting a tiles-in-space race, as it's fun doing these. A baby Battlestar Galactica next, perhaps...

Hi again,
An armed merchant masquerading as a famous combat vessel, if looked at from far enough away...
With a number of improvements including GroovyDaves suggestion, and the covering up of a face in what was
being used as a nuclear reactor (doh! some sort of med unit - didn't see until the high detail version!).
This is a lo-res version - do not download - see link.
BIG version on RpgMapShare ...HERE...

Awesome Ship!
I like the new curved walls, but I thought the original one were OK to.

I like the new curved walls better. I didn't dislike the old ones, but it was noticeable that they didn't appear the same as the straight walls. The same problem will occur with diagonal walls as
well, but that should be even easier to correct.
Incidentally, interstellar spacecraft that are entirely exo-atmospheric have no real need for curves or other aerodynamic considerations; i.e., the Borg Cube is just as spaceworthy as the Galactica.
That said, something like a Babylon station makes more than a bit of sense since the rotational momentum allows for artificial gravity on the exterior walls.
I think I might try to do something like that, but it'd be hard to do. Maybe I can use Iron Dwarf's sewer system as a model to indicate curving space.
