Sci-fi has put out the idea of "organic" ships in a variety of forms or hybrid ships (cyborgs or plug and play brains and so on).<div><br /></div><div>I like the idea that organic ships exist but they are a precursors tech. </div><div><br /></div><div>Some types might be only STL and not FTL.</div><div><br /></div><div>I think the Sathar should have it or some sort of cyborg hybrid. Sathar Brains running the show maybe on their ships.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Sathar ships have always struck me as more organic than the other races... I like the idea of them being sort of big bio-mechanical cyborg metal worms in space... partially grown, partially outfitted, maybe intelligent, or at least a little xenophobic (sort of the way Talon was designed to be on FarScape by the Peacekeepers). I think the Sathar ships might be an attempt to recover or use precursor tech. </div><div><br /></div><div>I also love the old War of the World's ships and I am thinking of making them Living Ships of the Tetrarchs or some other race. </div><div><br /></div><div>Big Giant Space Critters could become part of a STL space faring races propulsion system, some examples of this are in sci-fi... where the critter is used to travel great distances.</div><div><br /></div><div>Vorlon Ships from Bab5, Leviathan from FarScape are 2 good examples, Lexx from Lexx... I think ST even had an example. </div><div><br /></div><div>FarScapes: Leviathan ship graveyard: a sacred place where living leviathans bring debree of their dead to for "burial".</div><div><br /></div><div>There should be limits to what a bio-energy generated jump can do, how often, how far and so on.</div><div><br /></div><div>How the living ship is powered? How does it jump if it can?</div><div><br /></div><div>Basically just kicking the idea around...</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>
