Argon Collossus = Wing commander 4 Banshee?

Post by mr.WHO »

I can't help but to see stunning similarities - despite one being carrier and other a fighter:

There are some other ships in the X universe that have striking similarities to other franchises ships, such as the Argon Titan from X2 and Starship Troopers

Whether taking inspiration from/copying other franchises designs is a good thing is everyones own opinion. :roll:

Ehhh... It's only similar in that its a trimaran design.
Irrational factors are clearly at work.

Not forgot, just in my opinion x4 falcon looks less like cylon with those side engines.

Ships design in x2 left lot questions, like why not create own cockpits for ts, and why paranid and boron ships uses same cockpit model, same about teladi and argon.
