GAROVORKIN Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Which ships are your favorites and why ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manhole Eunuchsbane Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'll start with Star Wars. The Super Star Destroyer and TIE Interceptor are both badass. With the possible exception of the X-Wing, all the Imperial hardware trumps Rebellion shit as far as looks go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Mother of The Others Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 The main benefit of living in a Chinese world would be the total lack of regard for copyright because then you'd see a really high quality video game where all the space ships from every franchise could share the spotlight and join together in huge space battles to see what happens, like a large scale mortal combat game for fleets from around the universe. Yes. Give me a romulan green ship from next generation, in fact Musk should probably build that one first if we're going to make all the tech from Trek for real.

Corvinus85 Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I'm not sure which really is my favorite, but what I mainly like: From Star Wars - the Imperial Star Destroyer, the Clone Wars era Venator-class star destroyer, the X-Wing fighter From Star Trek - the Sovereign-class Federation starship (Enterprise E was it?) From Battlestar Galactica (re-imagined) - the overall design of the battlestars, with the Pegasus being my favorite From Stargate - the X-304 Daedalus-class battlecruiser, the Destiny From Babylon 5 - the Star Fury fighter of Earth Force From Mass Effect - the Normandy and the Tempest From Homeworld - the Pride of Hiigara Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kind of brings to mind a graphic this artist created a couple of years back that has to scale drawings of every spacecraft the artist could recall from multiple sources. Pretty cool stuff. http://nerdist.com/the-most-complete-chart-of-sci-fi-ships-ever-is-now-complete/ I think if you click the second image you can magnify small portions of the graphic.

GAROVORKIN Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 The Drazi Ships on B5 because they were a wonderful homage to the Liberator on Blake 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astromech Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 So many good ones, but favorites are The Millenium Falcon The Death Star Slave I Count Dooku's solar sailer Star Destroyers, and Vader's Executor is even better! the Serenity the Rocinante The Gunstar Klingon Bird of Prey Spaceball 1 Eagle 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about the Liberator itself? Still looks fantastic when lit and filmed right. And the interior is a great design too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mother of The Others Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Those back rests for the flight crew are the beginning of what you'd need. Dan Simmons solved for the extreme physics effects on the body by having the crew totally die each time the ship accelerated / braked they were pulped down to a thin layer of splat before their future tech cruciforms kicked in and regenerated their bodies in a resurrection process that served to justify the catholic church in a lot of people's minds but was actually a tainted gift from the machine AI faction to keep people under their thumb literally. Hey the ships from those Hyperion novels would trash Star Wars, Trek, and B5 fleets who need to see you up close before they shoot, like they're fighting world war II still.

Being machines, they have computer brains and can in theory outthink human, yet their fighters require three Centurions and even with that 3 to 1 advantage , they still lose battles to human ships piloted by single human beings.

It was more about them having that little LED light for an eye that would bounce back and forth across the middle of their visor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I liked the Cylon Centurions,, from the classic seres and the newer series. I liked the base stars from the classic series more then the the newer series.

Jen'ari Posted September 2, 2017 Share Posted September 2, 2017 I know you're all going to call bias here but I'm very fond of the Imperial Star Destroyer, the Super Star Destroyers are too big and blingy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
