Made by me on sketchbook. And yeah I forgot about adding CIWS but other than that I'm pretty happy with this Lore: Manturiem is a gas giant that was the first target by the Draconian Empire once they launched their first attack.

I had no internet so decided to draw a space jet witch I will make in minecraft or terraria. This is what i came up with. Inspired by hyperion. Anything else I could do?

When designing a ship is it better to pick its function (combat, exploration, transport, ect.) Designing/draw it then try and fit things into it, or make a list of what it would need (rooms equipment ect.) then try and build around them?

I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me find the url of an "old" website. It was just a like a blog, but with picture of spaceships. It featured thousands of them and was, like this sub, a great source of inspiration.

I'm saying an old website because the stylesheet was messed up last time I checked on it (a couple years ago), but the owner was still posting on a somehow regular basis.

Despite all my google-fu, I can't get find it back. I don't believe that it had it's own url, more a subdomain of a "blog" platform. I also believe it had a fancy logo.

I know this is not much to work with, but I'm that desperate !

This is research for a story Im working on. Say there is a (fictional) spaceship that can operate both in earths atmosphere and in space (not married to the terms but like a trans-atmospheric or endo-exo atmospheric vehicle; think of the Ranger from intersteller, the hammerheads from space above and beyond, or the TAVs from avatar 1--something that is plane centric built but can also operate in space).

This ship does not have any type of faster than light travel, however it can travel fast enough to make trips to other planets in the solar system in either months or weeks (still working on where I sit with that). Either way insanely fast.

How quickly would the ship be able to travel in earth atmosphere. From what I understand regardless of engine power there is a "speed limit' in the atmosphere in which due to air friction the ship would be traveling so fast it would burn up.

My reason for asking is this: while I want to have the ship be able to travel both in space and on earth, and travel in space from one planet to the next without it taking years (for plot reasons) I definitely think its boring if the ship could fly in earth atmosphere so fast that a trip from say the middle of one continent to the middle of the other takes only minutes.

Some clarification: in this story there are bascially 2 types of ships (outside of landers): those designed to travel and remain in space (so very hardish sci fi ships, some with centrifugal gravity) and those designed to travel in both space and earths atmosphere (so no gravity but desinged similar to planes so when they enter earths gravity they can operate as such--sorta).

TLDR: if a spaceship was designed to travel in both space and earths atmosphere (and also sorta plane-ish shaped), and could also travel fast enough to make planetry trips in weeks or months instead of years, how fast could it fly (similar to the way a plane flys) in earths atmosphere before burning up due to air friction.

I randomly started thinking about the Domo and the reference of it being an homage to 2001: A Space Odyssey. I like how they made it make sense in the film why the space ship is a rock by having Arishem also be like made of rock like substance so the Domo is a reference to him in the film.

Aside from the clever references, this ship is weird as hell.

1. It’s legit made of Rock or some Rock-like substance.
2. It has no gadgets. No weapons. It doesn’t have a cloaking gadget either. That was just Sprite that made the ship invisible that one time.
3. No Captain Seat or controls in general
4. It doesn’t even have engines. It just has rivets in the rock where you think rockets would be but there’s nothing
5. The only known functions it has are communication equipment, Gravity, lights, oxygen (because there’s plants there) and that wall that spawns the Eternals clothes. Also that Arishem Statue that activated the Eternals could be considered a ship function I guess
6. It has no windows. There is a window like view when inside the ship which might be like a screen or something but on the outside there is no window.
7. It has no ramp for getting in and off the ship. The one time we see people exit ship, the camera is intentionally too far away to see exactly how they leave the ship
8. It doesn’t explode when it’s destroyed. It just crumbles like a rock
9. Severely not aerodynamic with its box shape and sharp edges
10. Doesn’t decay. Sci-fi usually has ships that last a long time but the Domo was literally underground with rocks and soil all over it for 500 years and it still functioned properly the entire time with Makari regularly using it as a base.

New detailed diorama with astronaut figures and the Glencoe Mars Liner Rocket model, and decorated by me in a more modern decal scheme. Here, astronauts collect samples and scan with a lightweight scintillation detector.

I remember channel surfing a long time ago, and saw part of the movie that these ships (pic above is only stock footage from Space Raiders) originated from, but didn't get the name of it.

I refinished my Mars One rocket model (to right). The actual prop ship was used in many movies and tv shows. This picture is inspired by the movie “It the Terror From Beyond Space”. Another glimpse of another wrecked spaceship was briefly seen.

The Cison class Patrol Corvette is one of the most well known ship designs ever fielded by the Coalition of Independent Planets, as not only does the CIP themselves use it, thanks to its simple, low cost design and easy maintenance, many smaller backwater planets will license the design and build their own since they couldn’t afford a Republic force to defend them. This makes the Cison by far the most common warship in the Galaxy, with hundreds of thousands of these things being found everywhere. They are 330 meters in length and 75 meters at their widest with a crew of 200. It is armed with 6 duel 240 railgun turrets, 2 100cm heavy rail guns, a single heavy GamPDEWS (Gamma laser guided Plasmatic Directed Energy Weapon System), which is a powerful plasma beam weapon, and 20 M903-1 Atlas duel 8 barreled 30mm rotary cannon point defense turrets.

I made this design as part of a series I’m working on called “Tales from the 33rd Century” Here’s its lore:

This is the Xiphos class corvette, one of the main ships utilized by the United Republic Interstellar Navy. Often deployed along side other larger vessels as a defensive ship within large fleets, or used as a patrol vessel either alone or in a small group, these small yet fiery little ships can serve a variety of roles and can last long times with high reliability, making them highly favorable by Navy officers. At a length of 1,478 feet, it carries a compliment of 800 crew members plus a potential addition of up to 50 Republic Marines or Cosmarines (soldiers trained for combat in space, known as EVC or extra-vehicular combat). It is armed with 2 MK64 400mm heavy Hybrid-plasma rail cannons, 28 MK16 120mm railgun turrets, 4 MK24 200mm duel barreled medium railgun turrets, and 6 launchers for AISM-16 “Star Wrangler” Anti-Ship missiles, with a magazine of 24 total.

Is there anywhere to buy ownership of cool stl files of spaceships for resin printing? I’m working on a game system and while I can sculpt there’s so many talented spaceship makers I thought I’d see what’s around. The other option is commission work of course but thought I’d explore this option. Thanks in advance!
