Terran Trade Authority. Underrated series that has some truly excellent science fiction art.
Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
Looks like Firefly without the engines.That's fair
I mean, let's be fair space ship design is rather strange...
Not jealous at all...Yep, I have all four of them, original editions.
Nope, not one bit...

The third one reminds me a little of the Tarellian plague ship from "Haven(TNG)."
You can still get new editions on Amazon.
I got mine years ago when they first came out from 1978 to '82.
Was an avid Sci-Fi book hunter almost daily, at a WALDEN BOOKS in a Mall where I worked back then.
(at Montgomery Ward's)
I recall one (I think) at my school library in the 90s. I do intend to pick them up at some point.
man, those are great.
better than B and C for sure. It a coin flip with the D. I don’t the the D looked great on the big screen but the E wouldn’t have looked good on the small screen.
That one looks like the Promellian battlecruiser from "Booby trap" :-)That's fair

Here are some shots of the rescue fleet. The main hull of those ships is shaped interestingly. Definitely no Shenzhou clone.
I don't see a viewscreen window either
if they were oriented on the vertical axis they almost but not quite look like Orion ships from ENTOrientation corrected. These ships don't seem very big, I'm thinking around the size of the Scout Ship from TNG length wise.
I can't decide if it's a dragon or a snail. USS SmaugThat's fair

I like it. It reminds me somewhat of the Valdore Warbirds in NEM with echoes - at least in the embossed hull plating showing feathers - of the 22nd century Bird-of-Prey seen in ENT and likely used in the Earth-Romulan War. It's a good design.
Seems like a large shuttle or small ship.. Probably 50-75 meters.
That's fair

To be fair, this ship is called the 'Hooded Swan'.
From the cover of "The Halcyon Drift' of the Starpilot Grainger series by Brian Stableford. Quite an underrated series from the early 197Os. The main character is a cyborg space trader pilot unhappy about having an alien symbiote in his head and a massive debt from being rescued that he has to pay off by being pilot of said ship. the ship itself is pretty fast and nimble product of a synthesis of human and alien design. One of my favorites, really.
