Quoting G W
The engines and the support struts to the primary hull are what really make this work. They look very mechanical and engineered, like there is actual science and design behind them, and not just because they look cool. They have heft and feel like they're purposed.
Thank you for the comment! While the struts primary purpose is for decoration, they actually stiffen the link between the engine and body. Without them the ship could not balance on the landing gear.
