Cities in Space
Friday, February 6, 2004

I have always loved the design of the Alliance ships like the IAV Dortmunder. Cities in space that just bristle with power. I never understood why the Star Destroyers in Star Wars needed to be aerodynamic, so I was really glad that the biggest things in the 'verse are so wonderfully monolithic.

Hmmm. You don't need to be aerodynamic but I'm sure there are advantages to having your centre of mass a bit more central on your ship when it comes to manoeuvring

Please note like all good (read typical) Englishmen I just got back from the Pub and my physics is hazy right now

I do like the look of the Alliance Cruisers though

I agree, the design always really caught my eye and made me think about the ship. But what does IAV stand for if anyone knows. I always assumed Interplanetary Alliance Vessel or something.
