The bottom ship that looks like the discovery can be fond on space 1999, I think it was used from the discovery because the two look very similar...

Post Second Extrasolar War the ISA called for a more durable and capable offensive oriented VTOL dropship. During the Vektan Cold War the main aircraft of the ISA is the Heavy VTOL. It is better armed than the S.E.W. Overlord model and can operate in outer space with little modification. It is called a heavy VTOL because it is heavily armed with machine guns,missile launchers and heavy armor.It can deploy ziplines so that the troops can land on the ground and the VTOL remains in the air.

Lots of great space ships in this thread! I’ve built many of them and flown several as model rockets.

Is it ok to post your own ships?


What you see here are a couple of the ships from our book series, Rocket Babe.

I’m not going to explain the continuing storyline except to say the ships are part of a covert U.S. space military service called, Deep Space Strike Force. Taking place in the early to mid 1980’s DSSF retools what’s left of the Apollo era technology, as it develops its own deep space capabilities. The initial mission is to stop alien abductions.

The largest ship is the U.S.S. PANDORA; one of 3 Saturn V’s left over from cancelled moon missions converted to small battleships armed with nukes. Powered by modified F1 rocket engines, top speed is approx. 60,000 mph.
p1.jpg VernaCestrisLarge.jpg flyby.jpg.w560h375.jpg
The second is a Cestris fighter, 1 of 7 approx. 1/3 the size of the Saturn V. Top speed is approximately 200k mph. Armed with four recessed 8 barrel Gatling guns mounted two forward and two aft, it also carries a wide variety of air to air and air to surface missiles, as well as nukes and anti-matter bombs. The Verna Starr Cestris fighter can operate in any atmosphere or space, and has VTOL capabilities.

What makes these ships and some of the weaponry mentioned in the series special, is that they can actually be built and flown as model rockets by using black powder engines.

The Cestris is adapted for the Rocket Babe series from a kit produced by Sirius Rocketry. https://www.siriusrocketry.com/SiriusKits.htm

Certainly!
Lovely addition.

Tell me, what was the most important aspect of the designs?
Did the designs need to fit the timeline?
Did you need to keep the technology close to current?
What changes to the designs could you imagine 300 years later?

Of the previously posted design samples do you have a favorite ship or design feature that you could consider expanding on?
How important is planetfall in the design of a space ship?
If you think of alien movies and TV shows, which alien ship design matches closest to the design you would expect from an actual visit?
