This light cargo freighter is a common sight in the 2030s. The UN prefers these beat up "flying boxes" to sleeker, fancier ships due to their low production cost. They operate using repulserlift engine technology, and can carry a large array of cargo inside, including other humans.

Here are some shots showing off The Lofty Load's carrying capacity.
Thanks for looking!

Looks awesome, nice engines. I would use a different kind of wind shield it's kinda out of place.

Yeah, and maybe some slope blokes for the roof. Those miscellaneous pieces don't look too good.

I disagree with both of you. That window really gives the rest of the body a chunky feel to it, as well as the roof-greebling.

I think the greebles would look better if the roof was SNOT. The studs take away from it.

I like the greebles it adds to the "don't mind the look just make it usefull and cheap" mass production look. But the window doesn't look industrial it looks more like a decoration IMO.

Well-thought design. A thumbs up.

I'm glad you guys like it!
Interesting idea RoC77 with the SNOT roof, if I was at all talented with SNOT I would definitely attempt that.
As for the windshield thing, I was inspired to make this creation after seeing the escape pod from the Clone Wars (can't seem to find a picture of it, but it was seen in Rising Malevolence), which uses that windshield. Plus, it was either use that windshield or the one from the bongo.

I'm not that talented in SNOT either, I just cover the studs with smooth plates. If you have the extra plates you might want to try it out.
