The Voidskimmer is a standard craft design of Sha Rephart which is primarily utilized for scouting, small scale shipping, and short-range passenger travel. It normally has a minimum two-person crew, and has enough beds and amenities to comfortably support those two on longer journeys.

Well, ten years and I finally came back and made some significant updates to the Voidskimmer. A major change is the placement of the propulsion. The old design had vents along the edge of the vessel’s outer “ring”. It came to my attention that placing air inlets right on the plane of the void was a bad idea, as all solid materials settle along that plane and would then easily get sucked into the engines. Instead, there are eight curved funnels on the sides, redirecting the flow off of the plane. The funnels are divided into left and right sets. By independently changing the direction and output on either side, the pilot can steer the vessel.

The boarding planks now rotate from an upright stowed position to the deployed position, instead of awkwardly sliding into place. There is also a box on each side for mooring supplies, including bumpers and ropes. The railings are built a bit better now, going off of things I learned designing the Obmunjalae. It’s not apparent in the images, but there is a cargo hold below the front deck; the hexagon visible in the images is the door to access it. The height of the front deck was increased to allow more vertical space in the hold.
