The Fuel Unit

Interchangeable Game Asset

Description:

The SCW Aerospace - Model 25 Standard Fuel Module is an indispensable addition to any galactic goods hauler looking to jump start their grand trucking enterprise. SCW Aerospace has a legacy of delivering reliable and efficient components for space trucks with the highest customer satisfaction rating for over the past ten years.

The Model 25 Standard Fuel Module is rated to provide over 10,000 fueling cycles before the need of servicing. The high capacity module can provide enough fuel to get to any star system on a single tank.

Idea:

For the fuel tank, I took inspiration for the module from the NASA Space Shuttle External Fuel Tank. This includes the burnt-orange color of the tank and parts of its shape and appearance. The fuel tank is attached to the Engine Unit and partially laid over the top of it.

The tank also uses different shades of color create a sense of depth in the two dimensional image. I would later go on to use this practice in creating piece for the spacecraft in Eleran Eclipse.
