I really like the designs of all the ships on this page. When I concepted the three rogue ships, I specifically wanted them to all look different, but other than that, the designs weren’t terribly important to me since I knew they’d only be appearing in a few panels. I ended up really liking the hammerhead-shaped ship, so when it came time to decide which ones were destroyed/damaged and which one wasn’t, it was a pretty easy decision.
As for the Jondhi Space Patrol ships, I like the unconventional look to them in that they don’t look like the normal aerodynamic fighter ship. I just kinda liked the awkward curled-up-shrimp shape. I frequently see sci-fi fighter ships with opening pilot canopies, like real-world fighter jets. I thought it’d be cool to have a ship that instead had a small airlock through which the pilot would enter and then walk up to the actual cockpit from inside.
I’ve noticed that too
Now where are these airlocks you mentioned
The airlocks on the Jondhi ships are the round shapes just behind the cockpit on either side. They’re probably a bit out of scale and disproportionately small compared to the actual cockpit though. I’ll have to keep that in mind when they next show up! 🙂
nah. Keep ’em small. Pilot has to wriggle through..
