Latest Update: Concept Sketch: Main Ship Final Concept
This is a final side view on the MAERTH ships concept. I’m struggling to make time to finalize my entry, it doesn’t look promising though. I’ll try my best till the end. There are so many great entries! I wish I had more time 
Does anyone know if I can change my entry a 3D entry?
All natural resources close to depletion, large numbers of speciesflora and fauna extinct. A world wide effort for Earth’s survival. The clock was ticking and time was running out, quickly.
For the past 50 years a Group of Scientist and great Minds from around the world have been working tirelessly on a plan. Research that in the past had been classified as a lesser priority were moved to the top the list.
Extensive research in new propulsion systems have lead to the discovery and creation more affordable space traveling capabilities. This enabled us to revisit the Moon and reach Mars in search of a laundry list of alternatives, amongst them, raw materials, fuel, habitat, hope.
After years of planning, studies and evaluations of every possible scenario, the results were drastic and unexpected.
…the only hope for human suvival is not on Earth but on Mars. The last phase of this plan was called, Maerth.

Hmm… how the City Mover works? He carries the human population only or the whole cities (with buildings, etc.)?
I had to reupload the artwork so it shows on the right threads. sorry about the inconvenience cLos :rolleyes:
At the time of the move, strict rules were enforced regarding what stays and what goes. So families were grouped and assigned specific quarters based on pre-existing guidelines…
Priorities have changed quite a bit in this time. Material possesions were not a primary concern, survival is. Basically imagine… Earth-is-crumbling-under-you-and-we-need-to-leave-NOW, kind of situation. The evacuation takes place a year before thigns turn sour,really sour to a void the worse case scenario…
Vulture is more like a military deployment vehicle, it replaces the helicopter-type vehicle. Also used for Reconnaiss.ance
The Hungger is a Cargo vehicle. It’s name derived from the way “cargo cannisters” are fitted under it. It’s a huge vehicle.
