Whats your favorite starship?
I honestly can't decide
>>343787091
None of those, they're all shit.
In space you need more than just a big thruster in the back; you need maneuvering thrusters on the top, bottom, left and right.
This leads to the front of the ship being a cube or a rod with those maneuvering thrusters on it.
The only reason to have any sort of fins, wings, or projections of any kind from your cube / rod / column shaped ship is to collect solar radiation.
Anything with windows is crap. Anything with a GIGANTIC docking room / shuttle bay is crap.
Decompression isn't actually that dangerous, real life astronauts have survived with holes in their suit (without even knowing it til they reboarded the ship).
The reason it's not that dangerous is that the amount of force is only equal to the volume of air escaping the space, so generally that's like a light breeze rather than intense vortex of death blasting people into the void.
That said, you still don't want giant windows or huge spaces of any kind, you have to carry or manufacture your own air. So while there will certainly be a few hand sized portcullis style windows, there won't be any man sized Star Trek TNG sized windows.
>this is autism!
I grew up in the 80s, people used to care about space and the future and the vast, almost inexhaustible wealth out there.
Now public opinion is that the space program is shit and we're better off spending the money here at home.
Sorry Christopher Columbus, the money is better spent here at home in Spain.

Actually you would need huge radiators unless you want to melt your ship.
One of the only things Halo does really well is ship design.
>>343791353
That ship doesn't exist in SW though.
Eclipse was the biggest and the only reason it existed was Palpatine's megalomania. Same with other SSDs all of which were deemed stupid in concept of anything more than psychological warfare.

no, the autism lies in your incapability to compartmentalize your opinions on a subject. op obviously referred to fictional starships with focus on aesthetics. not their realism. it is possible to agree that these starships are impracticable and still look an function fucking amazingly within a fictional universe.
>>343791482
Plasma beams made shields useless, the shit just goes right through and does as it pleases. Also known as plasma core insertion, which is the equivalent of just making unstable as fuck plasma and then forcing it into a beam. Honestly why would you put on shields when the enemy ship can ignore it entirely? Sure you'd be protected from fighter craft, but then the enemy would three or four times the armament.
Tbh all this "realismfaggotry" fails to account that those fictional vessels are also often built with and support by fictional technology, that by all means our modern science could just as well straight up call magic.
>>343792492

>it is possible to agree that these starships are impracticable and still look an function fucking amazingly within a fictional universe.
No, their impracticality is what makes them look like retarded garbage for children. That they "function amazingly within a fictional universe" is just further insult as the author(s) of these universes are retarded.
In short, NO FUN ALLOWED.

thing is if you go "science is magic and can do all sort of magical things"
then you're going to have to be consistent with it and apply this to every single part of the setting
a very good example are mechas
a common argument is "BUT SUPERSCIENCE MAKES IT POSSIBLE" while ignoring that the exact same superscience that makes a mecha possible, also makes it possible to create tanks or planes with exactly the same technology as used in the mechas
>>343788868
AHAHAHAH, wrong.
>>343790204
I disagree, I think the Angelwing is a great ship and I enjoyed Noah sections of the game using it despite it being a bit more 'generic'.

The reason why ships like the enterprise don't give a fuck is because their form of impulse and movement is beyond anything we currently have. So they don't need to be covered in basic thrusters.

Yes. He's ruining both franchises as hard as he can.
>>343793035
Except armored infantry has been a thing since the dark ages. It's not going to dominate the battlefield, but it will add depth. For example, powered armored units will most likely get their shit pushed in hard by gunships. A lot of people say tanks or IFV, but once those PA units close the distance. It'll be like a bunch of ants taking down a spider, disabling the tread, forcing the hatch, etc.
Gunships however are in the air, carry heavy weapons suited for anti-vehicular combat and can see shit over the backdrop of the ground.

Jap-tier mecha will probably be space only, no fun allowed tier. Which is all possible and when you get technical are just pods with limbs.
Ground Mecha are probably just going to be sized up heavy PA units. If mechs get to that super robust point, they'll operate akin to MetalGear Rex. The legs will be to travel over large distances in a theater level of warfare. Most combat will be beyond line of sight and it will function akin to artillery and sams.

People want to see what's around them. We don't put huge windows in spaceships currently because they are a liability lie you've described. But in TNG they have much stronger transparent materials to make windows from. So they aren't anymore of a risk than the other materials the ship is built from. So that's not really a consideration. Further, the nacelles aren't thrusters. The ships primary thrusters are on the rear of the dish or a little lower on the neck so that they push forward evenly against the craft's center of mass. the rest of the body of the ship is covered in small strategically placed maneuvering thrusters. The nacelles house the various components used to generate a warp field. If a warp field is a thing that can be used to move ships efficiently in real life we have not discovered this method yet. So there's no way of knowing whether Star Trek's interpretation of that technology is silly or not yet. Maybe you will need to house that machinery at a distance from the main body of the ship.
>>343794658

thing is to make a walking vehicle like that possible you'd need some form of anti-gravity technology to prevent the heavy object from sinking into most terrain types

because people don't want to live their life through screens, especially if they are stuck on a ship for weeks/months.
It's not about combat pragmatism and it makes sense to me when not on combat crafts. It's like being on ships without being able to go on deck or look out the window, its just a nice feature that a living/merchant/science ship's crew would benefit from.
>>343795964
Actually that is a solution used in some series. It isn't the only one though. We actually try to put pretty big windows in our spacecraft these days because being closed up in a box stresses people out. Even if it's just seeing the empty void around you, it seems to be calming.

you can introduce more or less fantasy elements, which is why there's a scale of hard to soft sci-fi. But at the end of the day, if the tech doesn't exist yet, then you DID introduce a fantasy element somewhere.

hate scifi that pretends to be anything more than space fantasy while not actually paying attention to anything
dyson spheres are a good example of this, it takes only a slight bit of thought and calculations to realize just how insane such a construction would be, yet authors still continue to have earth sized populations live on them and crap like that
The lying bastard.
Fuck i really want a game where I control a capital ship flying around glassing enemy worlds and laying waste to their pitiful fleets.
>>343795221
In SW they have shields, so as long as the shields are up, the bridge is practical. It's when the shields are gone when the bridge becomes impractical. The shields generators are in all cases mounted on the bridge itself as well.
>>343797674
From a actual technology standpoint , a Dyson sphere is very possible. It's just a massive solar panel array built around a star
Realistically is could never happen, it would take more resources then could be mined from the entire solar system and likley hundreds of thousands of years to complete

Nope, the shields on the Executor were already down at that point apparently + plot explanation is that Palpatine was controlling the entire fleet himself with Battle Meditation and the moment he died everything fell into chaos.

The Spear of Adun in sc2 was cool as fuck. I especially liked how they had a small star powering it.
So, follow me if you can fellas
I figure if things are to the point where Ship Designers can actually express their AESTHETIC preferences when designing a ship.
We'll subsequently be at the point where we don't have to worry about the majority of Mitigating aspects of why you wouldn't design a space vessel the way Sci-Fi Epics tend to. Or in ways practicality would love to swat down.
And as such, I subsequently love just about every fucking type of space ship.

>>343793260
He's an idiot though, all starships in ST including the enterprise are covered in maneuvering thrusters, they're just flush with the surface of the ship and only seen in closeup shots. Also due to shields, inertial dampeners, structural integrity fields, navigational deflector, warp travel and transparent materials as strong and durable as metals, they don't need to give a fuck about windows being a structural weakness because they aren't. The whole ship could probably be made of a transparent material if they wanted, but it would be obnoxious.

I'm going to guess that the idea is to use the energy of the sun to produce extra matter thanks to energy-matter conversors. Just make a smaller dyson spehere.
Or build it on a red dwarf. They are smaller and live so long that the universe is not Old enough to have seen the first die. They will be likely the last refuge of organic species before the last star in the universe is extinguished.

Yeah, that was poorly worded, I meant "operable by a single pilot".
>>343799137
wrong: its actually only 195 times larger
>>343799619
despite his flawed calculations he has a point, 1m is not an unreasonable assumption but even a 1mm thick sphere would have 0.2 times the volume of the sun, and given the sun is largely hydrogen while a dyson sphere would naturally be made out of a significantly more massive material, its total mass would still be larger than that of the sun
and I hope you can realize just how impossible it is to make something orbit another object with less mass
>>343798942
For my money, Undiscovered Country had the best aesthetic in the franchise. Refit Enterprise and scarlet jackets, but with a ton of minor details that made it look like a space navy and not a space cruise ship.
It even had a ship's bell.
>>343799169
Destroyers a best
In terms of ship design I don't really have a favorite.
In terms of favorite ship in fiction it's either Moya from Farscape or the USS Enterprise since those are more favorite sci-fis and so I love seeing them.

Since you only want a Dyson sphere for more power, why not just build it on a closer orbit?

Depends what you mean by 'playable'.
There are a handful of little missions you can do for money to buy clothing and weapons. There is also pvp and a reputation system.
But it's only a fraction of a single system, so very small game area.
But regardless, it works. Biggest issue will be running it, since the optimization at its current stage is just the worst.
>>343790204
Oh boy I loved the amount of details they put on those ships, especially the maneuvering thrusters, hell even the tiny fighters had them, wish more spaceship games had them, Homeworld would be incredible if you could see them on the ships

"Fun" and "entertainment" are malleable concepts. If we allow ourselves to become too beholden to the so-called "cool factor" then everything starts to lose meaning as it becomes more and more style and less and less substance. It's literally the degeneracy and "cancer" 4chan is always going on about; to suggest otherwise is absolute hypocrisy.

>>343800914
You can't buy ships with game currency. They only added currency and persistence last patch, and it's only for guns and clothing right now since it's still being tested. The plan is to remove ship sales once the game launches, apperently.
Avenger is okay. Second best one man fighter behind Super Hornet, I'd say.

I mean, I know names like Jean-Luc Picard, Nichelle something, the USS Enterprise, things like red shirts dying but I haven't watched an episode/film. I'm not from the US so it wasn't broadcast here and I don't watch TV anyway. Feel free to humour me and tell me where to start though.

Yeah, as much as I like TOS, that's probably the best way to get into Star Trek. But SKIP THE FIRST TWO SEASONS OF TNG - maybe watch the pilot or first two episodes to learn about the characters, but then skip to season 3. Come back to watch seasons 1 and 2 - they're not very good.

Don't you dare skip the original series. The statements made about humanity, the dark tone of many episodes, and the questions about our world and morality are elements that the following series have never quite accomplished.

Fuck off trying to explain this shit.
It's clearly just a normal train drawn over a space background. They put zero thought or effort into trying to make it look like an actual space faring vessel.
Even if you excuse the wheels there is no excuse for the doors between cars, for the steam engine, for the pile of coal that is just sitting in the back and not floating off into space, the list goes on.
>>343804270
Yeah, that's true. There's probably a short-list of watchable season 1 and 2 episodes out there somewhere, but the faster someone who's never seen Star Trek can get to TNG season 3, the better imho.

Abaddon anyone?
Im gonna post some STO ships.
Tell me your opinions on them.
>>343802383
The original series is campy 60s sci-fi with a progressive edge. Keep in mind this was the 60s so the progressiveism was "women should be allowed to be sexy" and "Catholics are people." There are a lot of dumb plots, but when it's good it's incredible.
Next Generation takes a more character drama look at things. There's still plenty of "bad guy of the week" episodes, but a lot more of the show is focused on stuff like "Picard argues for due process" and "Picard argues against religious superstition." If you want action, this will probably be the most boring one as a whole.
Deep Space Nine is like Next Generation, but darker. Instead of the character sitting around tables just arguing stuff, you have characters getting their hands dirty dealing with foreign occuptations, religious terrorism, and later all-out war. It's the edgy stepson of the franchise, but still good.
Voyager is more or less an updated TOS without as much progressivism, relative to the time period. It's generally not as well liked as the previous three, but is far more accessible. It's not actually a bad choice for your first show, just keep in mind it's very much a mixed bag of bad and good.
Enterprise is a garbage prequel that relies heavily on prior continuity despite being a prequel. Only the 4th season is any good. In general it's best saved for last only to laugh at how bad it is.
>>343804930
The ship itself was great. The show was the very definition of wasted potential.

First one is a Caitian (space cat people) carrier ship.
Second one is something you get for being a gold member (only 200$, goy!)
>what in the fuck
It's a Iconian ship, they don't give a fuck.
>>343806138
Wait, is that ship 9 up in the human column the Starfarer? That's the biggest ship in the game and it's fucking huge, but it's TINY on this chart.
>>343795303
My fucking nigger
Top-tier taste.
>>343804019
alien ships are sexy desu
>>343806471It already is.
>>343805741
Damn I don't recall hive ship being this HUEG.
Anyone else play Fractured Space here?
>>343805741
Fuck, my favorite thing about Atlantis was the amazing ships they had.
>>343806223
There were some B5 ships posted in the thread already, senpai.
>>343806632
>$0.51 on the market
yesssss
>>343806271
Make sure to buy enough keys to get it.
Continuing with my ship dump.
First, a frigate pet for the new feddie carrier.
>>343806271
The deflector dishes that are indented into the hull are vastly better looking than the ones that stick out and look like actual dishes.
>>343806612
Yes, sandwiched between the 890 JUMP and the Merchantman
The Idris really ought to be in by now, we all know it's basically done
>>343806767
Have fun.Where have you been?
>>343806784
And then the carrier itself!
Fell in love with this ship when I first watched SW as a kid.
>>343806485
Such a good game. I think I'll have to replay it soon. Sword of the Stars had some great ship designs as well.
>>343806784
I've resigned myself to the fact that I'm going to buy like two packs of 10 keys to try :(
>>343806842
Oh wait, that's the Genesis not the 890
Well either way
This ship has always reminded me of star trek for some reason
Love the Pilgrim, and its sister the Curse.
>>343806935
Next up, feddie command ships.
>>343806981
I like the Nebulon-B as well, but I always felt like it was constantly in danger of snapping in half.
>>343793979
Pillar of Autumn, because 3-shot MAC is best MAC.
>>343805910
starsector?
This game had some nice not really over the top ship designs
>>343807161
Shut the fuck up. Nobody cares.
>>343806223
Be grateful, Babylon 5 will never get some dumbed down reboot.
>>343806932

>>343806998
You should just sell them and buy the JJprise from exchange.
Keys are currently selling 6M a piece.
>ctrl+F
>no Galactica
>tfw no Seed Ship to dock with
What do you think about dreadnought?
>>343807231
Yeah, pirates sure had some neat designs.
>>343807420
needs sound
>>343788868
In Star Trek, there are no windows made of glass. They're made of "transparent aluminium", despite the continuity error in Generations where glass is shown smashing apart.
>>343807491
At least it's not one of those fucking flatships.
>>343807324
That's what, 60 mil? My narcine is going for like 120 mil, I cant imagine the new hotness going for less
>>343805652
Yeah dude. That's what EVE ship design is about. Ships are not "beautiful" by our standards, they are unique and sometimes so unique that they become weird.
When you just start to play the game, of course you favor simple designs like Abaddon, Apoc, Scorp, Rokh, Providence...Symmetric and proportions are in order. But through years you will be bored by their simplicity and you will look at such weird ships as Helios, Tempest, Probe, Breacher in completely other way. You will find their details, asymmetries, disproportions as something new and you will start to appreciate them.
I always considered Probe ugly and stupid with it's sail. But when I started exploring Probe was my first pick. After numerous expedition to wormhole space and nulls I fell in love with this ship. She's so comfy and we had so much adventures. She's my little Firefly.
>>343800464
>posts the CIC
>doesn't post a Battlestar
Mercury class is best class.
>>343807820
Id imagine Narcine goes for significantly less now than it went before.
You see, they added some new infinity lock boxes which can have anything from previous lock boxes inside them, and apparently you can affect somewhat what is to come from that box.

>>343802467
I prefered the design of the odyssey:^)
>>343804579
Yes, that's a big disaster because both galaxies will be incapable to sustain any life. Nothing will be able to evolve to interstellar level.
>>343800224
>>343801029
>Moya
Mah luggas. Farscape would make for an incredible RPG if done right. Lot of potential for moralistic choices since the crew so frequently waxes between being selfish assholes and decent people. And a lot of times either one tends to bite them in the ass depending on the situation.
But there's always Moya.
>>343803917
Pretty lame 343 didn't let the Super MAC stations open up on those things.
>>343807880
I don't know man I've been playing since red moon rising and I'll always love the apocalypse and hyperion
maelstrom will always be my favorite girl though.
>>343806223
White Stars were pretty eh.
Earth Destroyers are fucking cool, though. Watching Babylon 5 for the millionth time as I type this.
>>343805741
I hated the design of the Ori ships. Literally a giant toilet.
>>343807218
No, it was Wings of St Nazaire
>>343806391
I've never played STO, to me it looked like some future Romulan Warbird model with the curved wings and shit.
Considering the whole flat galaxy class shit and whatnot, it's what I expected.
Here's your ship bro
>>343795501
Infinity is when 343i started naming ships and ruining Halo.
>>343807880
Call me vanilla, the Megathron will always be my favorite
>>343808727
Here's one Rom ship from STO for ya.
>>343794451

>>343808543
Ori was a mistake.

>>343807161
>>343807249
Ignore that rude anon senpai, I'm interested.
fight me
>>343809094
SG1 seasons 9 and 10 were a mistake.
Vala and Mitchel were a mistake.
>>343787091
Republic Star Destroyers are based.
>For the Republic!
>>343809078
Dumb frogposter
>>343809372
Mitchel wasn't that bad really, Vala was a fucking abysmal character though.
>>343808343
I'd like to see a source for that.
>>343809282

The only interesting Star Trek ships are Klingon ships.
>>343806485
>not the white cruisers
do you even ships outta nowhere?
>>343808384
Apoc was way cooler before redesign, because his hull was more wierd.
But new Moa is so bland and simple it hurts.
Though one of new ships - Barghest >>343806350 is one more successful experiment in weird proportions.
>No Comfy Defiant
Despicable
>No 11/10 Best tugboat Nostromo
Fucking Degenerates
>>343803917
eh. I get what the filename is saying, but I get EVA vibes from 4's armor design more than anything.
Besides, half of Eva's visuals are straight out of Kubrick's playbook.
>>343809828
Aight, then i'll post some of those.
>>343809828
Take that back.I love the JJprise, problem is it's just so damn oversized
Not a single Lexx anywhere in this thread. You all disappoint me
>>343803583
My Nigga
>Season 2 when?
>>343792379
I hated its autoaim. It was nice if you were shit but if you were good at aiming it would make you miss constantly.
STROGG SHIPS
>>343807201
As much love as I have for the Pillar of Autumn, it was always just a cheep knock off of the Sulaco at best.
>>343810232
Was going to post that. Is it a ship, or an insect?
>>343805893
>pissing off Pliers
You could select it for most of the game anon if you didnt yell at Pliers for taking apart your Confed fighters for parts
>>343810232
>Foreshadow
>Megashadow
>Lexx
That's some naming scheme they've got going on
>>343809974
And before the thread falls off the map, a T6 Bortasqu!
>>343810661
And the original version.
>>343808370
>And a lot of times either one tends to bite them in the ass depending on the situation.
One of my absolute favorite things about Farscape is that in the time travel episode they keep building the episode up like any other tv show where they have to fix the past to maintain the present/future, but in the end,John ends up fucking everything up, and making things worse.
I don't even care much for that episode. I just love how they broke the norm for time travel in sci fi.
>>343800464
Wasted Potential: The Show
I have never seen another show go from so fucking good to so fucking awful
>>343810661
Look like Battlecruisers, except shit coloring
>>343808239
Nope its still 120
>See that there is a key and zen sale
>buy a fuck ton
I've lost all control of my life.
>>343809873
>Apoc was way cooler before redesign,
What
Nigga no, I literally had to take a break from cleaning my room
Apoc is arguably the best looking ship in the game, and the most succesful from the battleship visual revamps
>>343811253
IF I DONT GET JJPRISE AT LEAST I WILL HAVE ENOUGH LOBI FOR DREADNOUGHT
Hope this thing is massive
It is a shame the Ishimura was just a planet cracker. It is a bad ass looking ship.
>>343810909
>>343808370
>>343801029
>>343798804
I never really cared for Moya in general but fuck it was a good show.
I love how the show had the balls to have bad ends for some episodes
I love how the show had a villain who was actually right from a point of view
I love how MC goes more and more insane over the course of the series
God damn it was great
>>343801080
B A S E D
>>343811446
That's 1.558m of beauty
Orthrus comes close though
>>343811415
It sure looks like.
>>343795569
>the entire series is based around how the LPD is a massive waste of fucking money and labours are not necessary at all
>>343797597
I'm not the person this is directed to, but this is the 3rd time this week that 4chan has reminded me to take my meds.
>>343811676
And people say we are unhelpful.
>>343811593
He's a big guy
Everyone's posting best capships, but how about best fighters?
Who would win in a battle between a Viper and a Starfury?
>>343811593
For reference, that small ship in front of it is about the size of Excelsior.
