"Manta" concept art

I thought I'd go ahead and post the latest player ship sketches. The ship, tentatively called the "Manta", was obviously inspired by the underwater dynamics of a manta ray. It seats two people and is propelled by a central turbine on the underside of the ship and twin rotating turbines on each wing.

Large lights run along the front edge of the wings which are essential for deep sea visibility.

Initially I had a "tail" at the back of the ship that acted like a rudder, but with the twin rotating turbines I didn't see manuverability as a problem.
