The Cool Starship Thread Mk-II

Post by Crossroads Inc. »

STARSHIPS!!!

Cool starships is a great tradition in this site, indeed the study of awesome ships such as the classic Star Destroyer is in the very bones of SD.net!
To this end I open up a thread solely devoted to the posting of Cool Starships! From the Awesome, to the silly, to the classic!

To start us off, my favorite StarWars ships...

Marauder Corvette
Image
A classic "Cruz-Mobile" thats both practical, well armed, and sleek and stylish!

Carrack Cruiser
Image
Small, simple, yet robust and versatile. One of my favorite EU ships.

Old Republic Dreadnaught
Image
The Old Dreadnaught, another brutal EU ship, Fear it, FEAR IT!

And of course the Victory ISD
Image


And now some in Homeworld
The Great Harbor ship Bentus
Image
Image
I mean really you have got to love that ship.

BUt I won't post too many all in one go, I am sure everyone else has their own favorite Cool Starships to post.

Seashells-on-a-stick starship design at its finest.

For when you get tired of people saying your starship looks 'a bit phallic'.

Speaking of Battlestars;

Love, love, love the neo Pegasus.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I'm a big fan of the Mon Calamarian ships too, just not the bullshit EU stuff about it. MC 80abcd crap. Home One, the 3km sized Star Cruiser is nifty.

HomeOne and the "Winged Liberty" Moncal ships really are pleasing to the eye. In the Starwars "Warlords" download, I always build them even though they are virtually useless as Warships :P

On another note, I feel StarTrek can't been mentioned without adding the following:

Miranda Class starship, closest Starfleet ever got to a menacing looking ship :D

On another note, here is a blast from the past:

The GTD Orion, showing that a giant slab of armour with guns and a runway can still look neat.

The fast and powerful GTCv Deimos.

And finally the ship most likely to frustrate you for the two thirds of the Freespace 2 campain, the NTF Iceni.

This odyssey, this, exodus. Do we journey toward the promised land, or into the valley of the kings? Three decades ago I envisioned a new future for our species, and now that we are on the brink of realizing my dream, I feel only solitude, and regret. Has my entire life's work been a fool's crusade? Have I led my people into this desert, only to die?
-Admiral Aken Bosch, Supreme Commander of the Neo-Terran Front, NTF Iceni, 2367

Almost forget this... The movie was badass and the ship was more-so, despite it being a spoof of Trek, the Ship itself has such an awesome sleek look to it.

And the ISSCV/ISSAPC a nice, modular troop/cargo truck.

'Secondly, I don't see why "income inequality" is a bad thing. Poverty is not an injustice. There is no such thing as causes for poverty, only causes for wealth. Poverty is not a wrong, but taking money from those who have it to equalize incomes is basically theft, which is wrong.' - Typical Randroid
