X4: Tides of Avarice Ship Analysis

[mr.WHO]

I like asymmetrical ships. They are machines, not faces. Besides, most existing ships and seemingly the updated ships are already symmetrical, aside from some Terran ones—and even most of theirs still are. They have... Tokyo, Kukri, and Honshu?

As for unnatural, well, it is a spacecraft.

question is a airplane asymmetrical?, is your car asymmetrical? is your bike asymmetrical? even space probes and ISS is symmetrical. it's a unnatural state of nature and even is deathly to human cells
tinny bit of asymmetrical in spaceships why not!, but not for the sake of being artistic

There are asymetrical planes, albeit rare (e.g. the one that was used to launch private sub-orbital rockets).
There are asymetrical cars (for most cases these are specialistic utility vechicles, like industrial trucks and excavators)
I might be wrong for many probes are a bit asymetrical, like Voyager.

I really hope they not have a lot of asymmetrical ships i really dislike that.
it's unnatural and feels unnecessary ever seen a human face asymmetrical? it's a big no no

I love the look asymmetrical ships but I hate to fly them. CoH contains a fighter that is asymmetrical, but the unusual hitbox makes it difficult to navigate in tight places.

And yes, a human face is asymmetrical. You want to see symmetrical faces?

And that is why I think it fits so well. We are speaking about a scrap recycling faction. They have utility space ships. Form follows function in the real world. Symmetry is for the rich who don't have to work.

Asymmetrical spaceships is a time-honoured tradition, I for one love these (love the Kukri too). I really like the 'Kyd' fighter and I expect that there is a symmetrical one just like how the Kukri has a symmetrical brother. These add so much variety to the game, hope the SCA gets hold of them too.
