my introduction to the series was the film and watch this shipping come down from space and turn into boat blew my mind. It's a literal spaceship.

Every ship in B5 is great.
The First Ones were very imaginitive.
The way the White Stars manouvre was kino too.
Best sci-fi show ever.
Noah Turner
Something that'd resemble a giant spear, with the direction of travel being the spear tip.
Many reasons for this.
The most obvious one is probably that you're minimising impacts by having the direction of travel be the smallest surface area side of the ship.
If the 'spear tip' of the vessel is made of a hard enough material (think diamonds?) & forms into a tiny sharp point, the vessel would probably pierce through any debris or space junk it collides with, with no damage whatsoever.
As for being a long narrow shape, you could have one elevator or similar mechanism move from end to end for transport logistics. In a cube or a vessel with multiple large dimensions you're complicating transport, as well as other logistics, a great deal more.
Something not completely unlike what I described actually passed through our solar system in 2017 (pic related). An interstellar object that just happened to pass by close to us. Many speculated it could be an alien probe or vessel, but no electromagnetic, radio, light, or anything else was detected from it.
scientificamerican.com
nasa.gov
en.wikipedia.org
Most interestingly a slight increase in speed was observed from it and scientists put this down to a slight thrust from natural release of gases from the surface
One possibility I thought of is that it is some sort of alien probe but it's designed to strictly appear as a random space rock and not emit any signals until it's well clear of systems where it detects civilisation, heck it could even be piloted vessel and not a probe at all.

>mfw instead of giving us acknowledgement or hope while they were in our neighbourhood, they did the galactic equivalent of turning off the radio, rolling up the windows and locking their doors
Henry Mitchell
A future I hope for humanity is all the rocky planets in the system being strip mined to pump out millions of these, like city factories casually putting out enough habitats to house +10,000,000 people a day and then just orbit them around the sun like a proper dyson swarm. Quite a ways till we're there though I imagine.

the most annoying thing about argueing with trekfags though is that they have a "reason" for everything as if giant flying saucers with big tubes on the end really are the most logical and sensible design for an interstellar vessel

Its not even that way in real life.
All real life warships have the bridge elevated over the deck just like in a Star Destroyer.

Jack Flores
The idea of giving a GSV a standardised shape is a bit meaningless since they control so much matter and energy and have such great influence over them that they can give themselves any kind of shape they want. There's no consistent description of them in the books either which I never thought of as a simple oversight by Banks.
There are tons of GSV designs out there made by fans and a bunch of them look great like the on you posted - the pure field ship is a really cool concept, especially for one so immense as a GSV.
That being said you fucking KNOW that the show adaptation will make it some fucking shitty generic big metal, roughly triangle shaped thing with a proper 'bridge' like a star trek ship or some shit. I really liked most of the Culture books and knowing that they're going to be raped is not a good feeling, the dread is steadily creeping towards me.
Levi Cook
Who's the artist that draws all of these? I've seen his work before, he always has these really creative designs with wild colors, really inspiring stuff.
Jayden Jones

William Peterson

Yea, forcing the idea in TNG that the Klingons made Bird of Preys that looked exactly like the ship from ST3, but made them the size of a galaxy class federation ship annoyed the fuck out of me.
The KBOP is still a cool ship, tho. MUCH better than the shitty Klingon ships from Discovery.

Not a spaceship, but I really liked the aesthetic of the technology in Genocidal Organ. Flying Seaweed is a fucking cool airship thing. A giant, flat, ultralight stealth glider that drops special forces into an area and provides air support during the mission.
The drop pods they used were cool as well.

Ryder Flores
What do you mean by 'work' exactly? If it was constructed strongly enough and fuel wasn't a concern and the jets were powerful enough then that's all you need for atmospheric flight.
Something doesn't have to be aerodynamic to fly, it's just that it's generally better to be aerodynamic because it increases fuel efficiency, reduces drag and reduces stress forces.
Justin Lopez
Not even a spaceship, it's literally just a train in space
William Hall
Adrian Mitchell
Well, more precisely, can something of that shape re-enter earth atmosphere without tearing itself to pieces?
Liam Cox
Uhm? It's literally a spaceship. Check yourself.
It goes all the way to ANDROMEDA from Earth in just a year (because it casually takes its time to do so, stopping at stations for local day along the way) and also runs over rare, near-extinct. space creatures that go onto it's "tracks" because fuck you the Galaxy Express 999 doesn't change course. tooot tooooot
Parker Martin
It could if the materials and construction methods are strong enough. The film was dogshit but I was fine believing that it could enter an atmosphere since it was the future and technology is clearly more advanced so they could make it stronger than we could do now.
Andrew James
>all these boring ships
>people only concerned with realism or aesthetic
You gotta think about entertainment for the crew, this one is so good it guarantees you'll never be bored.
Tyler Fisher
They have chosen not to. They easily have enough tech to Ascend and some do so but the majority are happy with the material world. Many people in the setting consider the Culture a bit eccentric for not having ascended yet.

The Klingon ships in Discovery are badass but don't make sense in the context. You just don't see that kind of chaotic, intimidating gothic design anywhere (which is actually what makes it cool, yet inconsistent in ST).
Interestingly though they're bringing back the classic D7 design in the next episode.

Joshua Adams
Why does it need wheels? What kind of propulsion does it use? It seems more like a ghost train, the space variant of a ghost ship.
Matthew Martin
With science fiction we usually see the ships fly straight down to the planet so I usually head canon it that the ships aren't travelling at orbital speeds since they have enough thrust to stay airborne with their engines instead of relying on orbital mechanics. This would mean the ships aren't really going that fast to re-enter.

Only it maneuvered VERY WELL, irc.
And radio transmissions are as useless as it gets in space. Light speed is slow as shit even at the interplanetary scale.
It would be like our ocean ships still using jungle drums.
Yup, we´re LITERALLY the space nigger zoo house, prison planet, open air gentech lab and sheep(us) pasture.

Nolan Lopez
>not intended for atmospheric flight
A real spaceship designed to go fast as fuck would probably be designed like a smooth cylinder. You want it to be sleek, you want it to be light, and most importantly, you want it to be very long in the "intended" direction of travel (forwards) so that you minimize shear stresses within the craft as you accelerate and decelerate.
The reason why you don't want to roll with a spherical design is because of how much more difficult it would be to exhaust heat from the interior of the craft -- cylindrical geometries boast among the highest SA to V ratios of all 3D shapes. Speeding up very fast (as in an attack craft) would quickly cook the crew, or more relevantly the electronics given that such a craft would probably be automated.
You would most likely end up with spaceships that move more like water striders than dogfighting aircraft. They accelerate as rapidly as they can to gain speed, but can only achieve top speed while moving in a straight line before decelerating to turn, otherwise they either shear in half or cook themselves.
Engines would preferentially be placed on the far "ends" of the cyclinder. You would need two because in space you must decelerate by applying an equally strong force in the opposite direction. In fact, the whole craft would probably be symmetric. Cooling would be problematic, and the most efficient way to do this would be some kind of radiator system by means of narrow fins extending outward beyond from the cylinder ends, which shed the excess heat as emitted light. These craft would shine like candles.

Dominic Mitchell

Andrew Price
More like mushrooms maybe, interstellar craft will probably pack fuckhuge shields of ice, rock or metal for extra protection, the extra weight would be an issue but if we had railguns or laser highway system to accelerate stuff out of system they'd only need to carry breaking fuel. You probably don't want to rely on just not running into anything when going a decent percentage of lightspeed

Easton Reyes
Mason Fisher
I like one of the things they use in Mass Effect where they sink all the heat into tubes of sodium or something, eject it at the front where it hyper cools in space, then recollect it at the aft. I think they only use it with large frigates during combat though where there's very little movement

Why is hyperspace ramming star destroyers with X-Wings not the default Rebel strategy? Imagine jumping to an orbital factory and slapping it with a hyperspace ram before anyone can react. ezpz.
Nathaniel Murphy
they were in tubes retard, they shoot them from a bay backwards towards the aft into another bay that catches them
Michael Howard
>Why is hyperspace ramming star destroyers with X-Wings not the default Rebel strategy?
Because it's not a videogame that needs to be beaten in seconds, you sperge.
Caleb Hill
Well if you're going to do that you may as well just have a coolant line traversing the outer skin of the craft and not run the (high likelihood) risk of missing the catch at the other end.
Jason Ramirez
dude they all literally have shields that prevent solid objects from impacting the surface, think of the scene in rogue one where they blow against the planetary shield.
Hyperspace ramming is shitfuck retard idea sperged out by rian that goes against all prior canon because he literally wrote himself into a corner. Stop pretending like disney wars is anything to give thought to
Adrian Hernandez
ROCI A CUTE
Jason Gutierrez
Assuming hyper space ramming is actually a thing that works and not just a stupid idea that contradicts everything established about Hyperspace (It is), why wouldn't wars be fought with strapping hyperspace drives onto small objects to decimate larger ships?
Dylan Phillips
lmao then the coolant line would be a high priority targe. One shot that hits the line would result in critical failure, one shot hitting one tube means they lost a tube, which they're ejecting hundreds of every second. I'm thinking the niggers that made mass effect put way more thought into than some spazz on 4chinnel
Levi Cook
Only you're going to lose shitloads of tubes to minor imperfections in the launching mechanism or minuscule changes in ship trajectory, and now you're suddenly completely out of coolant due to having ejected it into the vacuum of space and now you're shit out of luck.
Jayden Howard
this, iirc they also said they lose a decent amount of tubes due to emergency maneuvering, but that the tubes are cheap as fuck and they have thousands of them. Weight is specifally not an issue in that universe (literally called mass effect and centers around being able to increase and decrease mass at will lol), but heat displacement is, to the point where they spend multiple codex entries discussing different ways ships get rid of heat

Christian Barnes
lmao I'm not gonna spend my time explaining all the 500 codex entries the mass effect series has on heat displacement. I explain here that they use thousands and thousands of tubes, and that tube loss isn't even close to being an issue. I'm done though, I literally just named a heat displacement method from mass effect that sounded cool, quit being an autist about it

Luke Bailey
>hyper cools in space
Cooling is actually less efficient in space than on earth because there is no air to transfer the heat through convection, and all the heat loss has to be done through radiation
Aaron Diaz
this argument can go two ways, either hyperspace ramming isn't a thing, which it isn't. Or it is a thing, and that means if someone in starwars decided to strap a hyperspace engine to a bowling ball, they could blow up entire planets. That just raises the question, why did the emperor go to all that trouble to build the death star then, when he could just be nuking niggers with popsicle sticks? The answer is conclusively thus: Rian is a faggot

brainlet detected
Being on the "night side" side (blocking most radiation of the nearest star) only has an effect on the amount of radiation potentially absorbed. It has no effect on the emissivity of a substance, which would determine how efficient it would be to cool a substance in space.
Dominic Taylor
Energy emission into space is on the order of T^4, you can eject stupid amounts of heat into space if you're on the night side of the planet. Why do you think that the temperature of the moon oscillates between +123 C and -173C depending on whether its day or night?

I'll take the dreadnought with its 360 field of fire hyperdrive and missiles and fighters and you keep your shitty missile frigate thanks
Nathan Bell
Is such a thing even possible?

My favorite spaceship is the CV-330 Enterprise as fleshed out by Mark Rademaker for one of the Star Trek poster collections.
The CV-330 is seen as paintings and models in several Star Trek shows/movies and a model based on Mark Rademaker's version (which is super faithful to the original paintings and concept art) appears in Star Trek Into Darkness.

Then we get gia t maker bots to make mega structures in orbit and we end up like Blame! even if that makes no sense resource-wise.

A cousin got me this and I hadn't even seen Star Wars on vhs yet. I thought it was pretty cool still.

Out of all the Live Action Halo stuff:
ODST Trailer > "Believe" campaign > Landfall = Forward Onto Dawn >>>>>>>> Nightfall

Everyone knows that the answer to the fermi paradox is that the world is a simulation, and they turned off alien life forms for this sim.

As much as I love Moya, Leviathans are just so boring an uninspired. Giant teardrop shaped space whales.
Everyone else had some pretty great ship designs.

Not only is the Eagle Transporter a fantastic semi-realistic ship, it has a bangin' theme.
Brody Johnson
It's a multirole craft that does have to preform in atmosphere.

aren't these from shitty disney or am i mistaken?

The Black Hole is extremely underrated. So is the Cygnus.

hyperspace engines are EXPENSIVE AND HARD TO MANUFACTURE, thus why even thousand year old ships are still being flown, you can still make ship engines, it's STILL CHEAPER AND BETTER TO USE OLD RUN DOWN CRAP than to spend money on making new ships
in such a senario, the idiots that want to destroy planets and such do so JUST FOR THE VISUALS aka DISPLAY OF MIGHT
Now what strikes Fear and Dominiation against your foes?
1) Bowling ball connected to hyperspace engine
2) Large Artificial satellite shooting impressive LAZER BEAMS OF DESTRUCTION
3) Ship that flys through, into, and out of stars destroying any satellites it wants
4) Planet Based Hyperdrive LAZERS
5) Giant INSECTS FUCKING PLANETS OUT OF EXISTENCE.....
continued in every movie known(sometimes on other unmentioned/known planets/dimensions)

They were probably just in the background, it wasn't until The Last Jedi that they were prominently featured.

>Alien civilizations existing capable of interstellar travel WITH the foresight of actually camouflaging their crafts, expecting to encounter other civilizations is not good news.
