    Halo 3 isn't.
    I'm buying mass effect as soon as my damn xbox is fixed.

    Halo 3 is also a laugh. Perfect Dark for the N64= greatest shooter of all time.

    But back on subject, the Mass Effect Citadel is a good representation of what Humanity could achieve in the future. Although it's a Reaper creation (in the ME universe)

    This is from the Beyond The Red Line mod for Freespace 2. It's a free standalone download (370 mb or so via BitTorrent), only a 3 mission demo right now but the whole thing should be finished soon.

    Maneuvering is just like in BSG, should be a really good game once it's done.

    yo, their spaceships design suck. I have seen much greater variety of spaceship design than the usual flying elongated pyramids.

    Doesn't this baby look cute?

    Some pictures I've made for Orion's Arm;

    Dragonfly class ship; this antimatter drive vessel from the First
    Federation era used antimatter stored in numerous Penning traps
    arranged along the length of the craft. Large diaphanous radiator wings cooled the powerful motors at the rear.

    The Rosalind Franklin, a gravity
    tug from Barnard's Belt; used to slowly alter the orbits of asteroids.

    Here is the cargo ship Almucantar, making its way through the asteroid belt.

    The nearby red dwarf known as Barnard's Star has a large asteroid belt, full of spacecraft and habitats
    Here is the fusion-drive vessel Ship Gamma, showing the droplet radiators at the rear.

    eburacium...do these things have any physics behind them? Or are they just pure fantasy?

    Oh, yes, they have lots of physics, although I must admit I haven't worked the numbers on all of them. The first ship uses an antimatter beamed core drive, the most efficient antimatter drive
    http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3c2.html#ambeam
    the large containers are Penning traps to contain the antimatter; the 'wings' are radiators.

    The 'gravity tug' is a solar powered ion drive vessel, using the gravity tug method to move asteroids;
    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/4420762.stm

    the other two ships are helium/deuterium fusion drive vessels
    http://www.projectrho.com/rocket/rocket3c2.html#he3dfusion
    both interplanetary in nature.

    Two things I try to maintain in my spaceship designs is radial symmetry (to preserve a balanced thrust) and plenty of large radiators to dump heat from the hyper-hot motors.

    yeah I am an opposer of an idea that gravity thug is useful...

    Be quiet, you biased person. Because you like Star Trek more than Star Wars doesn't mean it's going to win.

    SD.net infested with lies? Are you on crack?
