That is very nice; which way is the front? That dotted line- is that the scoop, I wonder?

I am going to get round to making one myself-
here are a couple of Paint images I have made previously for OA...

The Ramscoop is not in running mode, the front end is to the left, sorry i need to fix the flip normal.
The dotted line is really a cable that extends to the ships command pod and then a equally long line to the cargo pod which has the Tree of Life seed.

If you care i could send you the whole model.

Of course- a tether arrangement would be a good way to avoid the magnetic field and the fusion radiation.

I would be glad to test your model if you were to send it to me; hopefully it will be available with your other models for download in due course, however.

Sorry; I tried to email you directly, but it didn't work. If your e-mail provider can handle it you can send it direct to me...
cheers, steve.
