White splotches on EA ships

[Fireymonkeyboy]

Hi,

I've been oogling the "next generation" EA ships, and wondered about something that appears in the Mongoose paint schemes. The newer EA ships seem to have two consistant features - a grey tone, and white splotches. Anyone know what those splotches are? Ship markings? Battle damage?

Aren't those supposed to be windows?

 

[prelude_to_war]

I've wondered that too...but they don't appear where I'd expect windows to be:

And way too bunched together...hm...it looks like snow or ice formations.

 

[Majinga]

errr

rust?

Acturian space mites?

Fairy dust?

Ranger dust?

The last bit of the captains christmas decorations?

I think they are meant to be windows - IIRC they were mentioned in a painting guide around the time SFOS came out.

 

[Abraxas]

If those are windows and each window is just a foot wide... that thing is a couple MILES long... wouldn't it be?

I'm not going to go all "b5tech.com" and come up with an equation... but that thing would be HUMONGUOS!

 

[Burger]

Er yes, it is a spaceship.

 

[Reaverman]

Er yes, it is a spaceship.

What would you need windows for on ship so big, is my question!

 

[Burger]

Er yes, it is a spaceship.

Ten-Forward has them. So ACTA must have them.

 

[Abraxas]

Er yes, it is a spaceship.

This thing is the size of Babylon 5... from what I can gather about the windows...

Also... windows help you see the darkness that surrounds you...

But in all seriousness, this comes up all the time. Windows give visual confirmation when technology starts to go on the fritz. Now, I can only see a use for whindows near the bridge, not all over the ship...

Lol, QED?

 

[Voronesh]

Cause Microsoft killed all competition?

So that's why sparks start flying out of computer consoles
whenever a sci-fi ship is asked to do something demanding.....

Just don't ask.

...just...

...no, don't ask.

OK, then, it's the giant mutant space goat. He's been... alone...

Hmmm. That would explain why the new generation ships present such a sticky tactical problem . . . :shock:
