Tosh and Hansen are my least favorite... I don't know I just like girl ghosts better... Hansen... I don't know what is wrong with her... Maybe just not starcraft looking enough?

the imperial wear armor but not big and bulky and all metal like the space marines has. well the space marines also have this medieval like design in their armors like the chaplain. i think all humans in warhammer 40k is inspired by medieval war age design.

well but it could be different since we will never know what the future will be like in real life or in general scifi, the possibilities are endless. blizzard's terran could have taken a different path, yeah something more original and first. in starwars the jedi and other officers wear robes etc which is starwars unique. i wanna see blizzard to be more artistic and innovative with terran officials clothing. anyway its too late but its not that they look bad on it actually they look good but warhammer 40 pops directly in my mind whenever i see it and think that the warhammer40k humans made it look better and fitting.

All the stuff in there looks like it's fifty years old or so, it's cheap booze, cheap lighting, broken glasses, everything's abraded and dirty... I reckon it suits his situation well.

i meant the first bc "bridge" interior we saw in the first terran campaign preview. i like the new design inside the bridge of the hyperior now, although it looks kinda old it looks terran unique compared to other capitalships not because it looks gritty and old but because of the new artistic design inside. the old one was plain and the grittiness doesn't even help since most sci fi setting are similar when it comes to gritiness like the warhammer ships, matrix ships, battlestar gallactica, etc. what i was saying was the overall design not just the sleekness/grittiness.

If any of those models were given to more combat orientated ships, I don't see them working. It's definitely a unique design, but I don't reckon it's been resolved. I reckon the body's great, but the four flimsy wing things need to either go or be redesigned, as I don't see them working.

good.

I basically stated my overall opinion just then, but just to recap, I reckon it's a great design for its role, so wouldn't really work for a combat orientated ship, but yeah, the wings don't work in its favour. Just quickly though, why're you relating this design to being like the ones you posted in earlier threads when you just said it's an example of a unique and original Blizzard unit? You're relating this to the images you posted in the same way you related the Banshee to the other images you posted, but you're saying it's a good thing for the Nomad but a bad thing for the Banshee.

yeah, im out for quite sometimes becausei am suffering with RSI or CTS so im still recovering. anyone here experienced this in the past and recovered from it. any tips on how to do it. thanks. xp
what? i don't understand what your saying. i posted unique looking sci fi vehicles. when i said unique it doesn't mean its a first of its kind but its rather something that you won't see everyday or has some details and parts that are unusual like the bc hammerhead shark design or the nighthawk dragon fly look. if you look at the bc you know its from starcraft but when you look at the banshee or jackal it reminds you of so much more than starcraft alone.
now the banshee and the jackal looks common obviously. and pictures that i posted are not anywhere close from those two but rather on the same side with the new nighthawk design.

I think the Nighthawk looks good. Similar design to the protoss arbiter, maybe terrans managed to get thier hands on a down'd arbiter and desided to salvage it and create thier own caster from a protoss design.

whats up with the issue that terran can't design something like that. sorry, but i really hate in when people exaggerates with the terran more about the design and look perspective of their units/builings. even farmers knows and appreciates complicated sleek designs of things why not the terrans.
the design doesnt even look alien. its sci-fi or future human.

Oh right, those. That doesn't necessarily constitute a Ghost. After all, Marines could have that only it's covered when they put on their suit. Anyway, yeah. I was just checking which he was.

Nah, that'd suck.
And it's definitely a switch blade. Just look at the handle.

StarWars is a completely different scenario. It's more based on religion than StarCraft is. Besides, they can't make a switch like that now, as they've set themselves up from StarCraft1. Also, Terran are supposed to be the race we relate to, so it makes sense that they share similar styles to us.

Did we even see new bridge? As far as I'm aware we were only shown shots of the bar and rec hall.

What's RSI and CTS? All I know RSI stands for is 'residual self image' from The Matrix.

Don't worry. I was just pointing out that you said that the Banshee was bad because it was like all those pieces of concept art that you posted about it, but the Nighthawk was good because it was like all those pieces of concept art that you posted about it.
Again, remember the Nighthawk design only really works because of its role. Ships like this wouldn't really work as fighters. Again, Terran is supposed to be the race we can relate to. If they continue producing ships and weaponry that are just this far beyond us, we'll just end up thinking of them as another alien race, which is why designs like the Banshee and Hellion, as much as I dislike the Hellion's model, work so well.

Remember that Blizzard isn't just trying to make all their designs unique, they're trying to design them to fit their role, which is why the Banshee's a helicopter and the Hellion's a buggy.

It's because the Terran have had next to no time to recreate their society and get back to that same level of technology they had before while in the midst of a galactic war, training a near endless supply of troops and fighting off the Protoss, Zerg and even other Terran factions or pirates.

LOL! Dude, you can't say this doesn't look alien. You're only saying it looks like a future human design is because you know of it in the context of the Terran. It definitely does look alien, and it definitely does resemble the Arbiter, which is another reason why I think those wings don't work too well for it.

heres the new bc bridge interior look.
http://www.gametrailers.com/player/41540.html
good coz i thought your reply was honest and did not change anything that you said from the past.
rsi- repeatetive stress injury. carpal tunnel syndrome. my whole right arm doesn't feel normal anymore it feels weak and stiff because of overused of the mouse and typing.
i dont know, but the nighthawk actually looks like a starfighter to me than a support construction airship.
yes i know about units look be based upon its role, well i could see other design (better design) that could work for both the jackal and banshee.
in other sci fi setting specially on animes, the nighthawk design is common and simple sci-fi human and there are other more complicated designs that that and is still human.
