Hyperions on the horizon?

[captainsmirk]

What are those?

I can see quite a few (admittedly very small ones), although I'm not sure what the hell the semi-circular bits on the assault cruiser are for...

extra personel accomodation for all those troops?!

 

[captainsmirk]

Possibly but that's not the place I would have put them.


Nick

are you a starship designer ;-)

 

[Shadow Queen]

'Phill' said due to a casting problem they missed the shipping deadline mind you the Rail Hyperion (EAS OLD BEAR) was missing on the day.

grav deck. you gotta keep ground assault troops more in shape. tihnk this was mentioned when they appeared on planet mongoose.

 

[HowardDevore]

And as was pointed out of the CG designs- thats not the PLANE you need to put the grav deck in. Ugh now I have images of stationary hyperions floating in circles.

At least it puts me in the mood to crack open my dynamics book and study for my test

 

[captainsmirk]

Makes sense, but how does that shape work for that?

Although it always amused me in the series that all these space ship crews (from races that don't have artificial gravity tech) seem to quite capable of walking around on B5 as soon as they arrived despite often having spent long periods of time in micro-gravity getting there...

[Shadow Queen]

dont you mean rotating not going in circles. may make the troops a bit sick

It was a news item quite a while ago...

 

[captainsmirk]

Um I was asking Hiff what the sculpting differences he'd spotted were. I realise that they were the new Hyperions...


Nick

 

[M1ndr1d3rs]

Sweet, but 4 variants of Hyperion? :shock: I'll have to be content with a basic one. ^-^

I don't think these babies will come any cheaper than the old ones. Just hope not much more pricy. :?

Far as i knew they had anti gravity Technology... I hope these new ones don't cost any more.

 

[Greg Smith]

The main sculpting difference is the flat front.

The missile cruiser has missile racks and less turrets, the assault cruiser has a spin habitat and less turrets, the command cruiser has an extended 'conning tower' and less guns.

 

[EDFDarkAngel1]

Cool... so when can we get them?

Who had? The EA only got anti-grav when they joined the IA (to many A's...) the Hyperion was built before that.


Nick

 

[dag'karlove]

IA? Do you mean The ISA? I think you mean ISA.

 

[captainsmirk]

According to the Lost Tales its IA which kind of makes sense since Interstellar is all one word...


Nick

 

[bondp99]

could it be that the engines are not correctly arranged? the one in the middle should be lower or at least at the same hight than the other two.

It's ISN for InterStellar News, though... :wink:
