Not a bar, but plays one on TV

Looks like there's nothing server side there. You could download the index page, and each of the scripts yourself to copy the project. Then you just have to substitute localhost everyplace ship.shapewright.com appears.

crusier

Gunship

um what do people think so far

@vicky_molokh

sorry

Tugship

hauler

Fighters

Yuuki

@Gwideon What are the feet for?

Gwideon

on what

Yuuki

The... tugship, I think? The reply arrow links back to a specific message.

Gwideon

on the tug ship it's actually a set of clamps so that it can clamp onto another ship and tug it out

Yuuki

Despite their name, I thought tugships mostly worked by pushing not pulling.

Gwideon

5:39 PM

Yuuki

Probably wrong though, I don't know much about ships.

Gwideon

depends

that's it

sorry for the image spam

Yuuki

So which ones are different models and which ones are the same model but with a different viewing angle and/or configuration (X-wing in "attack" mode)?

vicky_molokh

I like the gunship/tugship (second trio) the most. Would be willing fly on it in SWTOR's space missions! Also reminds me of the D5 Mantis a bit. Overall, I think wireframes would make it easier to figure out the shapes on the screenshots.
The one after Depends is cool too. The final one looks over the top even for SW.

Gwideon

true

@Yuuki the pictures are grouped into trios. each trio is a different model

Yuuki

5:46 PM

The final one actually looks something out of The Matrix with those feet that could be electromagnetic levitation pads.

Gwideon

my personal favorite is either the hauler or the cruiser

Yuuki

I'm weird because I like boxy ships, a la Halo's UNSC ships.

GcL

@Yuuki square cube law. modest increase in surface area and you get a lot more volume.

Gwideon

nah not really. alot of people like those ship designs

GcL

plus, screw aerodynamics. Only need to minimize cross sections for impact.

vicky_molokh

5:49 PM

Boxy ships are IIRC considered rather common.

Behold, the ISO Standard for Human Spaceships!

Yuuki

Although Covenant supercruisers are badass in their own way.

vicky_molokh

@GcL On a serious note: Need to minimise surface area to minimise armour/structure mass and cost and/or maximise affordable thickness (depending on role).

GcL

@vicky_molokh The role depends on the punches... if you're into idioms.

Gwideon

anyways scifi ship design is interesting

vicky_molokh

It is.

Gwideon

6:02 PM

the bee

ship.shapewright.com/?name=bee

it's a cool ship

vicky_molokh

Oh, also may want to check out Atomic Rockets, another resource useful to designing (more hard-sci) spaceships. To be taken with a grain of salt because it sometimes can get overzealous, and will ruin Starwarsy ships for you if you take it too close to your heart. ^_^

@Gwideon Makes me think that's the heavier, bomber-oriented-ier sister of Babylon 5's Starfury starfighter.

Gwideon

okay

@vicky_molokh yeah it does seem to be a bomber type thing

Yuuki

vicky_molokh

@Gwideon Or whatever a Y-Wing is supposed to be - it doesn't feel like calling it a bomber is quite accurate. Attack spacecraft?

Yuuki

This ship looks like classic German over-engineering.

Gwideon

6:11 PM

@vicky_molokh fighter bomber

Yuuki

@vicky_molokh good lord that '90s site design

vicky_molokh

Right! Fighter-bomber. Or maybe a stormfighter.

@Yuuki '60s. It's atomic!

Gwideon

hahahaha

ship.shapewright.com/?name=grim

this one is kinda interesting.

vicky_molokh

I like it. Modular maybe.

Gwideon

maybe

vicky_molokh

6:15 PM

With swappable pods, like the Vindicator in Star Control 2 and Origins.

Yuuki

ship.shapewright.com/…

Honestly not what I was expecting from the name.

But then again, I don't know what I was expecting with that name.

Gwideon

i think you confused it

vicky_molokh

I must admit, the two first concerns I have about all those ships are:
- How does it land when it needs to? Because adventurers *will* need to land!
- How are/can be the inner rooms positioned and what fits inside? Because that's where a lot of stuff will be happening.

Gwideon

true

Yuuki

This one is far less ostentatious than I expected.

Gwideon

6:20 PM

@Yuuki I like it. tiny cargo ship

Yuuki

As you can tell, I'm the type of person who would name my ship the "UNSC Rheumatoid Arthritis".

Gwideon

i'm just using numbers at this point for my seeds

ship.shapewright.com/?name=4

MikeQ

The real ship is the spaceship you made along the way

Gwideon

ship.shapewright.com/?name=8

this reminds me of something

and this appears to be the devils ship

ship.shapewright.com/?name=666

Yuuki

which part's the front?

Gwideon

6:31 PM

no idea

MikeQ

It's in space, so there is no front, just as there is no up or down

Yuuki

@MikeQ yeah but what about when the front falls off?

vicky_molokh

6:44 PM

@MikeQ Front is whatever direction the ship is best equipped to accelerate towards, which is also where the up is during said acceleration.

2 hours later…

ship.shapewright.com/?name=m50

interesting ship design

vicky_molokh

@Gwideon Looks about right for some sort of cruiser or bigger. Or hauler maybe. Seems even closer to the 'ISO Standard' style of ships than the generator makes on average.

I like it.

Yuuki

Looks kinda like this.

vicky_molokh

I like that one too.

Yuuki

8:53 PM

USS Treebearderprise

Not sure what to make of those weird dual wing/flange things.

vicky_molokh

@Yuuki Makes me think of Blacktron.
