Parachute. My notion of solar sailing ship is based upon shapes of parachute.

Pen, crewdriver, dart - natural model for spaceship or missile.

Any chaotic conglomeration of geometric forms - spaceship of the race, which is smart enough to understand that cool aerodynamic look is irrelevant in vacuum.

Neat - But could you please edit the links so as to be smaller, GP?

Some things I've seen that make me think (shipset)

Football (one of the ships I designed is basically just a flattened football with several other small footballs connected to it)

Broadsword (Chinese Style Do): The shape just screamed "Make a ship out of me" though I still can't seem to perfect that sharp angle.

Chinese Wind and Fire Wheels: Again great shape for an "ancient" starship, yet can't get the right look.

The originals are still breaking the page formatting... please edit them. Simply inserting text instead of the URL for the link label would suffice.

That wasn't the problem. The links lead to the target websites without error. The problem was that the text was so long that it broke the table formatting on this thread page, especially in Gecko-based browsers...

We have insecty ones. Do we have anything based on butterflies? I dont want to seem effeminate but there are so many warrior styles Im trying to spread it out abit.
I HAD one.... my HD went toasty fried and I lost it. It was almost finished too, I haven't had the time or incentive to get back into Doga and try again . It had butterfiels with glowy wings towing large chryslalii of various colors and opacities around with protruding spines and markings.

THAT sounds cool. Towing a chrysallis would be a nice touch for adding the necessary non-butterfly features.
