Made some updates to the Refractor-Terrane, planning on cooking up a fresh wave of ships pretty soon as well…

Working on a station for a render...

New radiators! Gave them a thin film coating inspired by some papers I've been reading regarding photonic crystal radiator surfaces. I think they're quite snazzy!

New renders of the Refractor-Terrane class, made some updates to the hull shader to give it some crystalline etch/growth patterns along the surface. I think it turned out pretty good.

Some up close renders of the original unmodified version of the hull seen in some previous renders. Meet the Refractor-Terrane class multirole frigate
