After spotting the Imperial Trader, I have found curves going into dimensions where no dimensions have gone before. I think they might just represent the new omnidirectional way of distributing attributes in this day and age ( that's 3300 for you). With that said, a rounded disposition might interfere with the cold flatness of a more linear approach, so the battle of perspectives will not end with just this one view!

I did that because no-one seemed to actually read what I said, instead they were arguing with the original post, bringing up things that I already adressed. It's frustrating to spend time answering something, then have the exact same argument over again with another person in the same thread. It gets tiring after 5-6 times.

Can't wait for these babies to make it into the game:
Now, if those are still not sexy enough for y'all permanent complainers, then I suggest you go play some other game indeed.

Those will add some much needed variety indeed. Not my taste per say, but it'll be nice to see a more varied universe.
"Nope." And I'll quote one more, "We wrote the game primarily for ourselves, if you don't like it you can make your own."
Does this mean we're not allowed to make suggestions?
this here^
Base game KSP? no. KSP's atmospheric simulation is notoriously primitive. Getting it to fly with the ferram aerospace mod would be a much better KSP-based test.
HI, I've just got off the phone to the year 3300.Hi, I've just got off the phone to the year 3300.
Apparently, the ship designs in Elite Dangerous are very realistic.
Who knew!
At least we can put this one to rest now
Apparently, today's people imagination cant eve comprehend what happens in the year 3300.
Who knew! Obviously none, cause we are just primitive apes compared to beings in year 3300.

This could work like the Slave 1 in Star Wars which can rotate and land horizontally. Large cruisers that don't fit inside stations can have vertical shapes.

I'm all for more eye candy, but we all have to appreciate that there are a lot of iconic designs that need to be fleshed out in the game before they start adding new design aesthetics.
Elite's designs are as distinct and iconic as those in Star Wars, Star Trek, Aliens or other well-considered space setting.
The Empire is to Porsche as The Federation is to Ferrari as the Alliance is to Lamborghini in design?

I'm not saying "ADD THIS RIGHT THIS INSTANT!", it's just a suggestion for the future. I see no reason why it would be impossible for the artists at Frontier to make something that looks like it belongs in the Elite universe, especially considering some of them MADE the Elite universe.
To all you people still arguing that things need to be flat to remain realistic, you're wrong, as I've said many times before. If you're thinking "I disagree! Flat things are for the best!" please read the thread before posting, cause this has been adressed about 6 times already.
As for the ship I'm designing to illustrate my point, I've decided it's going to have two "modes", one for flight and one for landing. The landing mode is inspired by how the imperial shuttle from Star Wars folds it's wings before landing. I'll have a rough concept by tomorrow night I think...
Frontier beat you to that in the intro
right around the 1:30 mark lolhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HbegNmKRZUM
I was thinking who'd need vertical ships, and cane up with life forms that are tall and thin and like to spend time in a vertical attitude. So perhaps space giraffes, or the various sand worms whose casts you see at the beach.
Perhaps humans would need a vertical ship that is used for gas giant mining; its top stays outside the atmosphere for comms, and its tail extends into the cloud base to extract resources. Like a float used for angling.

I didn't see any of the ships fold it's wings. >.> I do love that intro though! Very much ahead of it's time.
