[QUOTE]Originally posted by Lurker Emeritus: [QB] I'm collecting and comparing long ships because... well, just because. It occured to me to do so. So I'm doing it. Makes a change from Star Trek ships. Thing is, after taking a quick inventory, I realise that I can only think of 3! I really thought I'd be able to think of more than that. So far I have - Discovery from 2001 - The Star Wars medical frigate - Event Horizon After I got stuck on movie ships, I cast the net wider and came up with Larry Niven's tether designs for ramscoops and other ships with propulsion systems that are highly inimical to human life. The Protector, for instance. A big ramscoop with a pair of fusion drives and a set of magnetic coils on the end of a 30 mile long tether, towing a heavily shielded crew compartment at the end. Now I'm stuck. I have the feeling I'm missing something really obvious, but can't think what it is. btw, does anyone know of any good images or models of the Event Horizon anywhere online? An image search turns up very little except movie posters. Surely someone with a dab hand at 3D modelling has done a set of orthographic views or something? It's a very impressive looking design.
