Artist's Comments

A new space craft for my roleplaying game, Icar ([link]). Have had this one in my mind for some time, so it's good to get it out into digital.

I know, I've been slack recently. Haven't really had the time to do more art but am getting back into it.

I was wondering whether the craft was too simple. I have been trying very hard to stay away from space craft designs that look like all the others in Icar. To do that, I have been working on making them look more like consumerables that people might buy - less like fantasies of Science Fiction - purely for the sake of it.

Many thanks for the thoughtful comment!

Pretty slick.

Too close for missiles, I'm switching to guns.

Cool.

It looks tough and fast.
I want to fly it through a starport and crash through buildings.
How big is it?

The front end looks a little motorcycleish for some reason.
Hey, if it's small enough (hold one person) then how about letting it transform into a hovercycle?
Then you could go down to a planet and fly it around in the... uh... whatever passes for streets.

Maybe on low-tech worlds it would have a holographic projection that could make it look like the vehicles on the low-tech world.
That way you could fly down to an old colony planet and disguise it.

dude, sweet - i want one. kinda looks like a womans ''back massager'' though, if you look at it for too long :giggle: but, yeh, fucking kewl.

Lots of people have suggested that my space craft are a bit (alright, a lot) phallic. It's just the way I make them. If they look like willies, so be it.

Thanks for the comment, Rob!

The dimensions (and other stats) are here: [link]
It's 700m long - a bit too large to straddle, even for the larger gentleman.

Your holographic projects are already in Icar. They're called 'Lucifer skins', named after the character of the player who dreamt them up. The "Softlight" (moving hologram) projections either entirely mask the vessel or partially change it to customise or make it look more fancy. As you suggest, low tech worlds would not see through the disguise but high tech worlds would always see it for what it is. Of course, to produce a Softlight projection big enough to cover the ship would require a lot of power!
