Starships

Making Starship models

 

[AlHazred]

What @AlHazred wants to do is to take the interior images you have made, @magmagmag ... clip them ... and put the images into different contexts.

So instead of using the images directly as you have made them, use your images as artwork to be seen framed on walls inside a different ship.
Or crop the interior images you made and frame them as photographs to be placed on desks, making a memento of a previous time for someone.

Your interior view artworks can be cropped and pasted into other contexts on other ships. This then creates an extended backstory and history, improving immersion into the game world.



Or to put it another way, @AlHazred wants to "doujinshi" use your interior artwork images on different ships.

That way, if the Player Characters encounter an abandoned or derelict ship, your pictures can be used to show what it looked like when it was inhabited, before it was abandoned. What is now an abandoned ruin/haunted house was once a "home" for people to live and work in, as you can see from the pictures on the walls and the framed photographs found on desks.

Hope that helps.

Exactly. In this case, since my players are on the ship as part of Death Station, they'll get to see what the place looked like when people were working there, as opposed to the ship they see with panels gutted, bloodstains and vandalism, and animal droppings from the Lab animals. I hope to use them to provide contrast to the current state of the ship, to try to increase the level of unease and disquiet the players feel in the ship.

I've done it in Call of Cthulhu effectively, so I'm hoping to apply the same techniques to Death Station. That's why I've supplied them with actual prop food vouchers (created by Seth Skorkowski, and you can download them from links in the video description of his review of Death Station). When they actually see what is actually stored in the food freezers, I'm hoping the food vouchers will give them a contrast that makes them uneasy.

Reference to Katie Sackhoff as Starbuck on Battlestar Galactica.

Quite. I found the similarity to the model to be striking.

Even the hair is close.

Did he say the character in the image was similar to Katie Sackhoff of walking styele?
I always used the Galactica studying English conversation,
"What do you hear, Starbuck?"
"Nothing but the rain."

Thanks, I understand.

Kugashin class is the standard research ship, of which dozens of models, varieties, and classes are used throughout Charted Space.
Larger or smaller science ships are available, but the Type L remains the mostly popular ship for this sort of mission.
It is an ordinarily unarmed civilian ship and is classified as a Laboratory Ship.
Many lab ships are named after famous or very accomplished physicians, doctors, and medical scientists.
