Working on some plausible mid-future spaceships:

That's a Torpedo Frigate up top and a Destroyer underneath. Each carries a few point-defense gauss cannons and the Destroyer mounts a pair of railguns. In order to power those big guns, it needs a reactor in addition to the main drive reactor, making it heavier and more expensive. The red things are radiators so the reactors and crew won't melt.

More to come.

Worked on the Cyberpunk environment a bit more:

Added a few more people, put some missiles on the truck, I think this piece is starting to come a little more alive.

Plausible mid-future Space Marine*:

The main weapon is computer-controlled and aim wherever the user is looking. I figured that a few hundred years from now and we wouldn't be trusting our notoriously unreliable meat** to aim weapons anymore.

*I'm not a fan of the term Space Marine, simply because it's so heavily freighted with baggage. Orbital Marine doesn't really cover it, Vacuum Marine is probably more accurate but has strange cleaning connotations.  Astro-Anything just sounds weird.

**I realize that eyes are still technically meat.
