"Asteroid Ship" by Mark Stijnman

Awesome deck.

Well its just to fill up in the space are about weight and mass.

It doesent matter how mutch mass a thing got in space becose its the air thats making it start slower thanks to the resistance but all objekts got gravity so as the other artist said you would have a tail of "space trash" behind you is true and their gravety might slow you down a bit but nothing serius. And a thing that the other artist had wrong about is that you shuld easyer get away becose thats 200% untrue becose when you get to close a larger orbit it would pull you to it and the greater and heavyer the objekt it the hearder it falls but it can easyer get a speace boost by using planets as slings. Well that was all for me hope you like the comment

Mark Stijnman replies: "Well, I do thank you for the comment, but for someone who comments under the name "Smart Dude", there's an awful lot of errors in your post Spelling and grammar errors, for instance, but I think you should also study your physics a little better. Yes, there is no air in space to slow you down, that's true - and that's why you don't need to bother to streamline spaceships. But as I said before, a higher mass still means you need to use more thrust to get it up to speed. Interestingly enough, the velocity that is necessary to escape the gravity of a planet or solar system is the same for all objects, regardless of their mass. The kinetic energy that this velocity represents, however, depends on the mass. So, the more mass an object has, the more energy it takes to escape from a planet or solar system."

it's actually a very sound theory. mass and inertia would make this an interesting science project if nothing else. and depending on how large an asteroid it is, plus how much of the materials were actually used by the time it started moving...

but then there's nothing to say it can't drop into hyperspace, or use a tesseract, or... but I digress. very cool, both in the art dept. and idea! *cheers*

Oooh, that's cool! It makes me wanna live in Space.

Ever read anything from Alastair Reynolds? He's got this... base I think it was, in an asteroid! Very good books! ANyway, this reminded me of it... it's a very nice picture also! I'd like to go inside and see what it looks like! Very cosy!

Mark Stijnman replies: "No, I don't think I have, but maybe I will. I looked him up and was a bit surprised to find he actually is an active SciFi author. Those seem to be rare nowadays and I think they deserve some support. Thanks for the nice comment "

So strange ! Good work.

Nice ship, although it looks more like a city

A (very cool ) ship like this would not be designed to re-enter a planet's atmosphere because the weight would be too much. If there was a problem the ship would come in like an asteroid and cause a catastrophic impact. (Story idea, hm hm?)

Anyway, I like the light flare and corresponding light spill at the stern of the ship.

Awesome idea and picture
Actually, thinking rationally into it, asteroid would protect the ships vital parts, if they've been drilled into the center of the asteroid, from other asteroids and.. Why not, enemy missiles and weaponry.

Cool! I have Bryce too but i don’t know how to use it. Could you help me, considering how good you are?
