My favorite is the SR1, because it is smaller like a stealth vessel should be in my opinion.

I also think The Valkyrie from the movie Titan A.E. would be a good design to inspire a new ME ship. The images below are from a Lego recreation of it just because I imagine it would look more like that if it was a ME ship. They're not the best links ever, but hey I'm a car guy my usual electronics experience is interfacing with a car's computer and filling out a report on what I did.

EDIT- Please try to show an example of any non ME ships you bring up either by useing a link or actual picture.

I started with ME2 so i have to say i like the ME2 designed SR2 nostalgia and all.

 

As for ships I always enjoyed the designs in Homeworld and I've always been a fan of of vertical instead of horizontal designs.

I prefer sr2 and the extra room.

 

Maybe they could take the Whitestar from B5 as inspiration, Although the inside of it was more like a religious alien temple, the outside was just beautiful for a spaceship.

SR2 from ME3. The only thing I missed was the research lab but armory in the shuttle bay made up for it.

As for the new ME ship, I like CMS Terra Nova from Dead Space 3 :)

SR-1 to be honest. SR2 had more screentime and more interactions but you know what I hate about it? Load screens... friggin load screens.

 

What I liked about ME1 was how seamless it felt. Go down to the lower deck? No loading screen but an elevator which masks the loading (and which only takes 3 seconds on PC compared to 20 on console) and if you dock on the citadel or anywhere else that's not a Mako area... then you manually have to exit the normandy from the pressure-lock door and you arrive exactly where the normandy is docked.

 

And as for the Citadel in ME3... did you know you can glitch through the floor in the Refugee Camp, you fall through the map and land physically on the presidium commons and the game renders it after 10 seconds. It means all floors are actually linked but because lolwut Consoles and PS3 memory issues Bioware decided to make each level load via loading screen when many were in fact directly connected via elevator.

 

That's what I'm talking about. If NME can't top that and sticks to loading screens which makes the entire experience that much more artificial, then I see it as a cop out.

 

It's next-gen and Bioware already has a lot of head-start with DA:I.. they can make elevators work well and they should... rather than boring and long loading screens.

 

 

/Offtopic:

 

For NME I hope we get a ship that's smaller and more intimite than SR2 but we get more time on foot and more squad conversations (with CINEDESIGN for gods sake) on foot with our squadmates.

 

Wait, you know what there really should be? Interior in the Mako where our squad could chat like the many enjoyable shuttle post and pre mission dialogues of ME3 (one of the best new things in that game)

The SR2 Cerberus variant.

 

When the Alliance got a hold of it they messed up the interior, left cables everywhere....  

 

I served on warships.  The Alliance variant was not space worthy.  Yet another disconnect caused by devs not having any background in real life.  Which seems silly to me, because they make dreams.  Even Joker made jokes - what if this is all just a simulation?  How would we know?

I thought thr Alliance was in the middle of retrofiting it when earth was attacked and that was why some things looked half done?

I always liked the look of the Liir ships in the Sword of the Stars games.

The lore of that universe is really well done as well (IMO). It even has it's own take on the Reapers called the Suul'ka, though done much better (again IMO).

Its a really awesome universe and game, but I can't play it to save my life  :(

The SR1.

If Bioware would have let me, my canon Shep would have sabotaged the SR2 and blew it up! "Damn Cerberus vessel! " :P 

As far as a ship for MENext, something NOT called the Normandy. <_<

I've been through Shipalts, drydock, even floating drydocks, and upkeeps.  I was offered commissioning crew on the Seawolf, but turned it down so I could get out of the Navy.  I've seen ships being built and rebuilt - even from the old WW2 drydocks in Pearl Harbor.  You know - the ones that still have bomb craters in them.

 

You would NEVER have a ship looking like the Normandy Alliance variant.  They took a perfect, clean cut Normandy and made it s travesty of mishandled ....  badness.  With gear adrift, boxes all over...  it was bad.  If the CO saw our ship looking like that, rest assured you would stand in front of the green table.  For those that don't know, its not a billiards game, its Captain's Mast.

 

When the die cast ship models came out I got the Normandy SR2 Cerberus variant.  People that come to my office and they like to play touchy feely with my models - and it makes me nervous.  No one has dropped it yet.  When they were doing the hype for ME3 they were selling the Alliance variant, so I got that one too.   It looked so clean cut, the colors were awesome with white and blue and black.  So, I got the thing.  Once I got the game I was sorely disappointed because the inside looked like a trashcan.

 

Its just how the devs made ME3 feel to me.  I can't even go to war with the Reapers and fight to my death in a decent looking ship.  Everything about that game had a defeatist pallor to it.

Got it. Now I have another of my many reasons I dislike the SR2.

SR1, but I did really like SR2, but then the Alliance went and messed it up. The first time I stepped on it in ME3 I was like "what the hell did you do to MY ship!"

And this, is one of my favourite ships. nearly as much as the next one

But as for drawing inspiration, they already have their own iconic look, so they should continue with that.

SR2 from ME2. But give it different colors and logos.

 

SR2 from ME3 adds a lot of cool stuff but it didn't click as well with me. Emphasis on 'with me'.

 

SR1 from ME1 was meh. Always meh. Engineering was cool. Start of greatness.

 

 

I want a dreadnaught sized ship now.
