Famous space flagships, the coolest starships from your favorite games

Блог
In video games about space battles players may like the particular spaceships that gave them fond memories of their favorite game. Some like their majesty and the appearance of a real impregnable fortress. Others like other space flagships that remind us of an interesting story point in the game or an unforgettable surprise appearance. The most legendary spaceships, amazing in their power and beauty, some went out on their space journey a long time ago, back when the old games were released. But there are also new favorites of fans of spaceships that came out quite a while ago. Some are already called true classics, while others have yet to come to a common calling.

The Normandy ship from the Mass Effect universe

The very first of the noteworthy space flagships beloved by many players around the world is the Normandy. Having played a series of games of this huge franchise, we'll take on the responsibility of controlling this truly legendary ship. Not a single person who has previously played any part of Mass Effect, can not forget the "Normandy" because we will literally go through all the difficulties with his most faithful partner. And how much time was spent walking around the sections of the ship to talk to its crew and learn a piece of their history. What beautiful vistas to watch, sitting in your cabin and gazing out at the boundless expanse of space. It was thanks to the Normandy that our protagonist, Captain Shepard, saved humanity and other alien races from ruthless invaders. The invaders, called Reapers, have repeatedly tried to take over our home planet. And only thanks to this legendary ship humanity has not finally fallen under the pressure of their enemies. The spaceship, which can rightfully be considered a symbol of all franchises we have seen in its different versions. First SR1 - developed by the Alliance of Systems. And of course SR2 - in this version it underwent a lot of changes and corrections, supplemented by the radical Cerberus faction. And of course the second version of the ship turned out to be so big that Shepard and his crew have to land on planets thanks to the shuttles. After all, the ship is so huge that it simply doesn't fit on the planet's surface. "Normandy" is also equipped with the most powerful weapons, which had a big impact on its overwhelming firepower. No attack on the ship will be an easy task. Many players from all over the world loved this space flagship, which appeared in such a beautiful and extensive franchise as Mass Effect.

"Parkan" from Parkan: The Imperial Chronicles

Another spacecraft memorable to the game audience. It also, like the Normandy, can be considered the most memorable and popular symbol of its game project. Despite the fact that at first glance we may think that our spaceship is visually close to the "Rogalike" from the Alien franchise. Which was the spaceship of a race of jockeys. But they actually have many differences, both externally and inside the ship. The very name of our spaceship, "Parkan" means nothing less than "boomerang", hence its peculiarity and nature of appearance. In contrast to the Normandy, in which the maintenance of the ship was performed directly by the men of its crew. In "Parkan", however, the condition of the ship is monitored directly by the captain himself, as well as his artificial assistants - service robots. All responsibilities for the care of the ship are entrusted to them alone. So that the player does not feel lonely and just dilute his pastime while wandering through the open space. Artificial intelligence Irene has been assigned to the captain of the ship. He will help you with advice or brighten up the conversation during your wanderings. Even so, there was still a fascinating sense of loneliness on the "Parkan", just as there is in the most limitless and desolate of spaces. Which added to the atmosphere of what was going on. One could only rely on one's own ingenuity. After all, this vast space was only inhabited by artificially created robots from six different organizations. And of course we ourselves could create our own seventh clan from scratch, if we managed to conquer at least one planet. What can not fail to interest the player. The ship itself can be equipped with the most lethal cannons in all of space, making the "Parkan" a veritable machine of death. By properly distributing your ship's energy. And thanks to its enviable maneuverability it will be possible to do the impossible and conquer all of outer space.

Mazpella from Space Rangers

In one vast cosmos some inorganic but living entity from an unknown part of the galaxy decided to take over everything it sees in its path. Arriving at humans and other intelligent space races, this unknown party began to attack and take over one star system after another. the "children" of this inorganic race, called the Klisans, began to exterminate the flesh-and-blood beings living on those systems without a shadow of a doubt or pity, taking them as a threat to their dominance.
Taking them to be a dangerous contagion inside the matchless metal ships that the Maxpella had mistaken for their stupefied brethren. And it will be the player who is able to show the Maxpella that she is very much mistaken about her new brethren. Controlling your own ship, we will fight with aliens from distant space. And during your adventure all the intelligent races of the galaxy the spaceship "Maxpella" will become truly legendary.

"Ishimura" from Dead Space

Another memorable ship, which at the time of the game became abandoned and full of necromorphs. The abandoned USG Ishimura was once a "planetary ripper", which before the tragic events of the game literally destroyed planets to pieces by mining for fossils. Although it is not as bright and majestic as the Normandy, the design of this ship is dominated by cubism, its interior is dark and gloomy, because this ship is not for show. She looks exactly as a mining ship should look. At the time of the game's events, the Ishimura looks ominous and more dangerous than when work was in full swing here. The once crowded ship is now deserted and has new owners. Evil monsters are hiding in the darkest places of the ship, waiting for their new prey. What happened in this once workable ship we are to find out together with the main character. Wandering through poorly lit corridors and little by little repairing the ship from the inside we will have to see its faded functionality more than once. Once, from the sight of this ship, people could not take their eyes off of it. Now it is a shadow of its past, but many players still happily remember the Ishavura and it can rightfully be considered one of the legendary spaceships.
