Asymmetrical Ship Sets

[DavidG]

Yaw, Pitch, Thrust, Centre of gravity, Bah!! Your all thinking like those inferior human beings. My ideal race doesn't concern themselves with such trivialites because they've designed a ship that doesn't need to throw little bits of stuff out the back to move, or they are massless pure energy beings, or else they just like moving in circles.

I think what makes a ship look really alien (and thus cool IMHO) is if it doesn't make any sense.

It is so bizzare to hear you say that. When I took high school psychology the teacher told us that asymmetry was preferable. A perfectly symmetrical face would just look wrong. People would dislike it and not know why. But if it improved Lyle Lovett , well I gotta remember that one to use for my wedding photos.

Funny thing is I remember reading an artile were they said the opposite was true. That assymetrical faces were more attractive. One of they examples they used was Gillian Anderson. A babe by most defintions.

Just proves my theory that if you wait long enough someone will do a study to prove everything. I waiting for the one the proves a diet of Beer and Doritos is a healthy lifesytle

Like this?


Of course it's not really asymetrical (Although it kind of looks it from this angle) but it doesn't make a whole lot of sense either.

He didn't find it on the net. He found it in his backyard. What else do you think he'd spend his extream amounts of cash on, besides a one of a kind RV with a bonus wing on the side?

WOW! Nice ship Geo. Considering I usually play an empire called the Dundas Rednecks it would be perfect. Does it come in a pickup model.

/me blinks

Y'all seem amazed by Geo's pic, but please tell me I'm not the only one who recognizes the movie that ship's from. 'Cause then I'll have to feel old. And I'm only 24!
