It was rejected Defiant design. Forward about quarter of primary hull ahead of bridge was supposed to be modular. In case Borg or Dominion infestation replace everything with torpedo launchers and other weapons. Better than Defiant we eventually got.

People who actually made the effects hated it. studio model was huge and hard to work with as both saucer section and hull were heavy as fuck due to both having independent lighting systems and internal structure. Idea of destroying Enterprise D in ST:Generations came from effects department.

>but I also liked the Babylon 5 Earth ships, the big one Sheridan commands.

The Galaxy class is easily my favourite, so swan like and elegant. There's something about the look of X-wings that's so satisfying and genuine, same goes for the fighters from Battlestar Galactica.
If I had to live on board any sci-fi vessel though I think it would have to be the Aloha-Oe.

Warlock class destroyer from Babylon 5 was one of the first ships back in the day to get a "muh dick" -reaction out of me. That and the Imperator star destroyers from Star Wars when I was a kid.

I love hard, industrial designs. Unfortunately sci-fi is mostly dominated by generic organic shaped holoscreen garbage. I fucking hate holoscreens. Why the fuck do people keep putting them in sci-fi.

Really disappointing that the Eve TV show fell through. It has some fantastic ship designs, it even manages to make the organic curves look great sometimes.

>Set in the year 2199, an alien race known as the "Gamilas" ("Gamilons" in the English Star Blazers dub) unleash radioactive meteorite bombs on Earth, rendering the planet's surface uninhabitable.[10] Humanity has retreated into deep underground cities, but the radioactivity is slowly affecting them as well, with humanity's extinction estimated in one year. Earth's space fleet is hopelessly outclassed by the Gamilas and all seems lost until a message capsule from a mysterious crashed spaceship is retrieved on Mars. The capsule yields blueprints for a faster-than-light engine and an offering of help from Queen Starsha of the planet Iscandar in the Large Magellanic Cloud. She says that her planet has a device, the Cosmo-Cleaner D (Cosmo DNA), which can cleanse Earth of its radiation damage.[11]

>The inhabitants of Earth secretly build a massive spaceship inside the ruins of the gigantic Japanese battleship Yamato which lies exposed at the former bottom of the ocean location where she was sunk in World War II. This becomes the "Space Battleship Yamato" for which the story is titled.

And? It's an entirely feasible design with a few understandable handwaved bits like antimatter rockets and cryogenic pods. It doesn't really require any new physics, unlike 99% of the shit you see in movies - a bunch of lasers boost it up, antimatter rocket slows it down, reverse order for the return trip. The attention to detail is quite extraordinary too. I don't even like Cameron, I just like hard sci fi. The ship is given too much acceleration in the fluff, but other than that, it's fine.

I think they're starting to introduce the idea more into media how relativism will work, Passengers, Interstellar, few others use the idea of going to sleep and everyone you know is dead etc.

There are hundreds of studies like that. Just browsing Atomic Rockets will net you dozens of them. And it wasn't exactly all that detailed or followed by the Avatar team.

Riddle me something, if we cannot generate the kind of thrust we would need, relativistic speeds, why don't we just built a massive space catapult, packed with nanobots and let them do some self assembly on other worlds.

I think we will develop a way to keep people under for long amounts of time.

I think the problem with science fiction is they somehow think they can block time from occuring at origin point.

I doubt we'll ever come up with a way to prevent time from ravaging people in their travels. Interstellar had the best idea, using frozen egg colonies to transport a packed up colony to another place, send some womb tanks etc.
>>
>>83560683
We can feasibly generate thrust into the low double digit percentages of light speed. We can theoretically generate percentages of lightspeed at which all interesting relativistic fuckery happens.
But we can't make nanobots because they are a pipe dream. Nanotech is a meme.

This is another one where the scales are all fucked up. We know the shuttle part is fairly small and so each of those "pods" would be small as well, yet we have scenes of them standing around in giant rooms which would be impossible.

You need to get your terms right.
Micro - 10−6
Nano - 10−9
What are we talking about here? Nano sized robotic swarms who are somehow magically able to move, communicate among themselves and cut chemical bonds? Or robots three orders of magnitude larger?
And don't get me started on AI.

They fucked up by making pic related only 80% of scale(blu-ray extra), so i always use the interior of the ranger for scale in my mind.

While the guy you're arguing is a faggot, cryosleep is really much more difficult to achieve compared to most other sci-fi stuff. There really is no way that we can think of which protects the living organism from the very basic principle of water expanding as it turns to ice, which usually shatters the cellular structure. The current theory of cryosleep is based on pseudo-science of "brain still physically retains memories even after it dies". It might become a possibility in the far future, but it certainly will not be around the time when we develop faster means of travel.

SC2 has such a terrible art style. I wish they kept on with gritty Alienesque style of Brood War.

I don't think we'll ever get magic nanobot swarms, but I honestly have no clue how far the technology could go if they figured out a way to wire a central host together with mini wifi bands and could process complex scripting across some form cell computing.

I never said it would be easy, but nobody really saw internet coming either, nobody in sci fi world and that is technology spread across the entire planet.

I don't know how it will look but I know in some form those technologies would be a lot easier to pack up and send to another planet than moving masses of humans, material and then setting up without having a sustainable way to grow food, gather water and everything else we do, even with a self sustaining habitat, which is more of a pipe dream than either of those technologies and when I mean A.I, I'm talking virtual, scripted intelligence, not a synthetic being. I don't think we're ever going to get to SCIFI levels of Artificial intelligence where it takes on curiosity and becomes something we would deem a being in its own right but a complex machine intelligence capable of following a script and seeming lifelike? Yes.

Adaptability is hard for machines, and you have to script for variables so it makes machine intelligence at least right now, rigid and seems like a pipedream but larger amounts of information they can hold, it will be a simulacrum of human intelligence, just not an actual and yeah I'm lazy with my terms.

I think it will be more than just nanobots, where we'll need to send many different varities to setup long distance fabrication. We may even need to send mobile factories to speed up the process.

Like they want to do on asteroids, using 3d printing.

You should also be careful with your negativity, it can blind you to possibilities and you'll never be all knowing, so stop acting like you have all the answers, because you don't.

Some random, ignorant asshole could stumble upon the right answer and you would never. -c

"It was jet-black. A shade of black so deep, your eye just kind of slides off it. And it shimmered when you looked at it. A spider, big as death and twice as ugly. When it flies past, it's like you hear a scream in your mind."

The where the archeologist talks about finding one on Mars always gives me the shivers. What a design, and how well they were foreshadowed, too.
