The Ships of Elite....as cars
- Thread starter Caput Mortis
- Start date
Diamondbacks: full size truck, debatable until someone blows up Sag-A as to which brand. Personally my thoughts are an offroad kitted out toyota tundra.... and that's not because they're more or less the last base level fullsize that you can still get a manual option in.
I reckon the Sidewinder would be one of those cars that's trying to be sporty and cool but failing... in game it looks sort of similar to the much more expensive and relatively powerful Cobra, so yeah.
Diamondback Explorer would probably be a big 4x4 - designed to go anywhere, and modifiable for pretty much anything.
And then a Type-9 heavy would be that thing NASA used to transport bits of space shuttle around I guess:
Hmmmm... Viper would be a Lotus or something - nimble and quick but not too expensive and still mass-produced, with Vulture being similar but slightly more expensive - an Ariel Atom perhaps?

OH! The Transition! I want one so bad - and people STILL think flying cars don't exist!
Is it bad that although the new ground-based vehicle is pretty bad ass, I really wish it was a spinner?

An Asp Explorer is some kind of Land Rover, large, heavy, expensive to repair, but can go anywhere.
Python:
Python is a space Volvo, with all the positive and negative connotations that come with that label. Even from behind, they look somewhat similar. You can make the Python a 284 trader, and still have pretty hefty shields. The traits of being tough, spacious, reliable scream stereotypical Volvo.
The Fer-de-Lance is like an Italian sports car, and the styling of ZPG ships are like the classic space-planes of the early years of Space travel, and have pretty nice interiors too.
Clipper (or Gutamaya in general) is like Aston Martin.
If you could liken space travel to the human body, Faulcon deLacy is the brain, Gutamaya is the face, Lakon is the stomach but Zorgon Peterson is the heart and soul.

Had bit more of a think on this last night and after watching an Episode of Morse I decided the Sidewinder is one of these
And as someone else already sort of suggested

Vulture:
I always looked at the Clipper as being a Ferrari...those beautiful lines, and it looks best in Red
