I was trying to make a sort of "window" for the cockpit. Also previous versions of the nose were either too pointy, or not pointy enough. This was the best medium I could find for what space I had left with the building.
I did create a secondary version of this design, that is the place left over after 'blast'off"... I've been needing to find a good RP excuse to do that with yet tho. I know a lot of people when they saw it were.. HUH?? but that doesn't fit with the UO world, its supposed to be medieval there!!
except that in some of the earlier Ultima's (near 1,2,and so on), the Stranger had a rocketship... so I just thought maybe it would be funny
