Inspiring spaceships images (ED and other media)

[aws357]

I would like to have a space to share nice pictures of spaceships from various Scifi sources.

These images always raise in me the feeling of excitment, exploration, discovery.

But also give a little hope in the human race. Hope that someday we will leave earth and go one adventure out there.

Feel free to share inspiring pictures too. I could use some new wallpapers !

This one here is from french artist, Philippe Bouchet, also known by his pseudonym "Manchu".

Man, i have always loved anything by Chris Foss...

Just look at that:

​Come on. You knew it was coming.

Look for Stewart Cowley. I have one of his books (Terran Trade Authority) on the shelf.

Real title : "Spacewreck"
Fun title : "Elite Dangerous : Horizon - Nerf pls !"

Yeah, Chris Foss, love his designs. Just seeing a book with one of his pictures on the front would definitely tempt me to read it.

Sparth (Nicolas Bouvier) is one of my favourite concept artists

One solid candidate for the Lakon Type 8 ? (more brick than ship)

One sexy starfighter, it almost feels gutamayan... (Imperial Harrier?)

And one last for the road... °_°

I just googled it... the female pilots suits feel so wrong.

Yet I can't watch away...

here a little video for you.


The ship you see there is actually the FreeSK base ship, where all players/pilots start

Doesn't look as well ingame as on the image haha ... by FAR. xD

The day I undertake my long walk into the cursed earth my last wish would be that we get something like the "Clara Pandy" into the game as a massive liner. Just grace and cool cruising. We might need a bigger mailslot though!

How about something a little psychedelic

Has anyone thought about reaching out to Chris Foss to do a licensed paintjob pack? A premium Chris Foss Signature pack would make many grown men open their wallets, I feel. (Yes, I opened a Suggestion forum thread about this a while back already)

Are other games allowed? The poster/box art for the original Nemesis/Gradius has to be in, if so:

When are we going to come across one of these in deep space?

That would definitely be a ship for the empire. I'm surprised Gutamaya has not made one for the (feu)emperor already !

Let's hope this will lead to something.

I found this ship design... I think it would be a nice combat ship that could rival the python and be more fun to fly than the vulture...

how about this for size for a colony
