New Spaceships

Yeah but they still sound the same.

 

Or we can just throw more thrusters at the ship, until it looks like a disco ball:



(Not )

Edit: your edited post looks good, though. Originally I thought you suggested adding another 2 engines, while leaving the existing ones there.

 

Actually I wanted to leave the other 2 engines there, then I realized how absurd the ship looked.

 

I prefer the old Floran ship, looked a lot more overrun/reverse-engineered.

 

This is correct, they need to make it look like a ship that got infested, overtaken by plants, currently the floran ship looks like an apex ship with plants gently growing on it. Nature is meant to be aggressive, tear things apart like the original floran ship.

The ship needs to look like it suffered, but it needs to look like it has different parts from other ships.

It needs to have that infestation plant feel to it.

 

George could try adding more bones and skulls to the Floran ship, but it might not make the girly players happy.

 

I do agree, the Floran spaceship looks pretty WIP to me also.

 

Look at the human ship and then look at the Hammerhead

 

Yeah, they look similar. Other than the fact that the back end of the hammerhead is horizontal, but I don't think that could be easily represented in Starbound.

But damn just looking at this makes me want to play KotOR again...

Also the Avian ship reminds me somewhat of the Goa'uld pyramid ships/ha'tak vessels from Stargate

 

I wonder if they'll reskin the insides, too. The only one that's different is the Hylotl's. I just think they should either keep them all the same or make them all different.

 

The Hylotl ship really bugs me. Why does their ship look like them? Imagine if you were the captain of your ship that looks like a human. Yeah, the ship looks like a person maybe planking of something. Every other ship captures the race's culture to an extent, except the Hylotl ship. The avian ship used to look like a bird, but now its fixed; now it captures their tribal/ aztec culture. The Hylotl ship should, in my opinion be more ocean focused, or Japanese focused... Or both! Imagine and awesome japanese ship with underwater things. That would be really cool.

Also cant wait to see the Novakid ship. Just hope it doesn't look like a star with some engines attached to it.

 

I'm guessing Train Engine. I really like this one.

 

I see where you are coming from, but I have two responses to that:

1. I don't think the Hylotl ship "looks like them" exactly. It shows an Asian-themed dragon. Your argument implies "well, the Hylotl are a water-based race, and some Chinese dragons kinda looked like sea monsters, so therefore the Hylotl ship depicts the Hylotl" is stretching it too far and in facts feels like it stereotypes / overgeneralizes their theme too much.
2. Even if the ship did depict an actual Hylotl, there are plenty of examples in human cultures where buildings did depict humans too. From Ancient Egypt, to Ancient Greece, to Aztec/Inca/Mayan cultures - all had plenty of distinct carvings/statues/reliefs depicting humans (or gods in human or semi-human form), and integrated such carvings in their buildings/templates.

 

It should be a train like in Back to the Future 3

 

The crystal in the Avian ship reminds me of Cave Story...also , the entire ship reminds me of Stargate of course.
Overall, these are a schnabillion times better than the old pictures.

 

Looks like pretty much everything I make in Space Engineers

 

I'd agree with what others have said about the floran ship. I'd certainly like to see it far more overgrown, like the old one was. That way it would still make sense with the lore and also look very distinct and cool.

 

I love the new Glitch ship. By the way, do you know whether we'll be able to change our ships' colors (the colors now are good, but if I could change them a little it would basically be exactly the look I'd like most)?

 

The ships are pretty bland overall. There needs to bea lot more separating them. Right now they are all the same with only minor differencess. The dragon ship is a start but that's only one of them. All the ships need that flair. I'd also like to see more floors on the ship. However, bland may very well be the idea if they will be highly moddable. If I can change most of what I see including he addition of more floors and lighting then that's cool too.

 

I don't really mind the idea behind the Hylotl ship - the Chinese dragon motif makes total sense - I just think it needs to be done better.

The head is too puny, it's pathetic compared to the other parts of the ship (and even more pathetic when compared to the Avian pyramid or the human's massive hammerhead). I still can't stand that dead-fish eye. Please make the dragon head more awesome looking.
