In actuality, it is a Liberty-type MC80 Star Cruiser, a modified starliner if i'm not mistaken. Obviously, your ignorance seems to be surpassed only by your stupidy. Do not make this mistake in the future.

Title: Re: Name that ship
Post by: Harbinger of DOOM on January 13, 2007, 09:57:34 am: Actually, you guys are wrong.
hint 1: Its not from B5, its from a game (though the guy who thought it up no doubt got most of the design from it).
hint 2: The game has been mentioned on HLP.

Shouldn't Victory Star Destroyers have some sort of small wings on their side? I remember that in XW:A they had some sort of wings.

@Darth DySkO: Some Victory Cruisers' wings were 'closed'. They could also be Harrow class cruisers too.

Good thing it's not really a ship then. It acts like one, but the Wraith are really void-dwelling intelligent life.

You'll have to do better then that Hippo! :p Besides, the perspective on that one is all shot to heck.

Actually, you guys are wrong.
hint 1: Its not from B5, its from a game (though the guy who thought it up no doubt got most of the design from it).
hint 2: The game has been mentioned on HLP.

Is it from Escape Velocity Nova?
There was a ship like that in there, some prototype or something the DEv drove around in...
Can't remember it's name.

SpaceshipTwo was / is the passenger, commercial version to be flown by Virgin, umm, Galactic. I'd got the 2 mixed up; it is SS1, and kudos for being anal enough to recognise it via the registration number.

Oooh, could that show have possibly gone by the title of 'G-Force'? I'm sure I recognize that plane from a show I used to watch as a little kid. The heroes were all code-named after various birds like Eagle, Falcon, etc. and they each had their own vehicles which would all combine with the Phoenix and then they would go blow up various giant robotic baddies.

Does that sound right? :D

Yep, that's the series, in the UK and US it was called Battle of the Planets, iirc the original version never had the scenes with the Robots in, they were added later by Hanna Barbara to explain the plot to western viewers ;)

However, in the UK the team was Mark, Jason, Tiny, Princess and Cheops, and you seem to have the plot mixed up a little with 'Starfleet', a puppet-based animation from Japan that come out at roughly the same time ;)

Dont worry, its a show that takes quite a effort to watch it and even more not to get lost, 110 episodes (+50 on other series) and you cant lose a single one.

Title: Re: Name that ship
Post by: Flipside on January 18, 2007, 06:55:17 pm: Blake's 7 may have looked like a cheap version of 1970's Doctor Who (And believe me, that in itself is an achievement), but the storyline is still one of the best out there. Before Blakes 7 we had Buck Rodgers and Flash Gordon etc, squeaky clean heroes who always saved the day. All of a sudden we were given 7 convicted criminals who overthrew a prison transport, stole an alien ship and went storming across the Galaxy to fulfill their leaders' personal vendetta. Only 3 of the original 7 actually survived to the last episode (Blake, Villa and Avon) and then they died.

It was the complete opposite of everything sci-fi experienced up to that point, and a lot of people don't realise how much it changed the sci-fi scene.

bsg modern is too american, because i dont understand what these people are saying most of the time its all in slang and sentences that dont go together.

flash gordon was cool.

Not an American here...(close enough I guess) but I didn't think any of it would be difficult to understand. There is some slang yes, but its not American slang, not that I'm aware of anyways. The show has invented some of its own slang, there's some aviation terms that get thrown around on the flight deck and some general military stuff but nothing specifically American. Got an example? I'm curious from a cultural/mass media sort of perspective.

BSG has as much american slang as Farscape does. So unless you've forgotten all the frelling dialogue, I can't see why you will like one while saying the other one is bad because of the slang.

I can accept you not liking BSG or whatever as long as the argument makes sense!

I will admit that I found sections of series one and two somewhat esoteric at times, dealing too much with 'The Human Condition' and not enough blowing stuff up in cool-looking spaceships, but the director wanted to examine the human aspect of near-genocide I think, but for my part, I'll admit, I skipped over a few of the Baltar/Six conversations ;)
