Asymmetrical Ship Sets

Fyron · #1 September 29th, 2002, 06:33 AM

There need to be more sets of asymmetrical ships. That I know of, there are 2, the Gorn Imperium and the Breen Galacticum. Are there any others out there? And why don't more people make asymmetric ships?

Edit: Actually... the Gorn may not be asymmetric, they might just be at a bad angle, and part of the other side's wings are covered on some of the ships.

The reason you don't see more assymetrical shipsets is that almost all the shipsets available for SEIV were made by humans.

Humans are very visual and symetrical creatures. It is hard for us to look at an asymetrical craft and not think it's got a problem.

But I would like to see a few more myself.

There are 5 or 6 such race styles that I've made and a one andrey has made. If I ever dig them up, I'll repost them.

On a similar note I'd like to see more realy bizzare ships that look really 'alien' I think the best one I've seen so far is the Tylmai.

Well i've been working 2 months before i left on assymetric ships. Also im trying to find what it takes to create a realy *alien*, *bizzare* or whatever race.

If you want i can post my assymetric ships here.

And i have to state it here. Only assymetric ships do look good. Only assymetric ships do look alien.

*IMPORTANT FOR ALL ORGANIC SHIP ARTISTS*
Only assymetric organic ship could ever look realy living. A fact.

Well that's just a silly statement to be putting out there as a fact. It's certainly an opinion, and I do like asymetrical ship designs. But to state flatly that all living ships must be asymetrical is just as bad as someone stating that all ships should be symetrical. It's the variety that most of us appreciate.

Why would a living ship have to be asymetrical. Most living creatures that we know of are symetrical. Unless you thinkg that is some accident or uniqueness to life on earth. I would expect actually that most life in the universe takes symetrical forms. But that doesn't mean all life would. But it's all just a guess really. No ones guess is any better than any one elses.
