[QUOTE="gamerprinter, post: 8548162, member: 50895"] I am absolutely certain this is my weirdest starship design - it is a bio-hyrid Chrysalis ship of the Nelid race of psionic worms. Always trying to create viable non-humanoid alien species as encounters or threats, the Nelid are a threat. So I imagined a segmented worm race without limbs, but have an innate psionic gift allowing them to communicate only via telepathy, although the recepient of the communication must have some psionic talent or cannot fully comprehend their desires. However if such a communication begins that worm will attempt to dominate the other. It is through this manifestation that the Nelid "build" things using the efforts of other species to construct it's technology. Another unique psionic power of the Nelid is what I call telekinetic microsurgery. They can perform biochemistry and genetic manupulations at the molecular/cellular level allowing them to experimentally perform bioengineering and genetic alterations onto themselves and to those around them. Below are illustrations of Nelid: including one engaging in telepathic communication with a humanoid. Another image shows the skin as transparent in order to show it's internal structures - it's brain comprises 20% of its body in order to accommodate it's psionic powers and intelligence. The 3D map image is a Chrysalis ship. Giant moth-like creatures on the Nelid homeworld, live in a caterpillar state for about a century consuming botanicals of it's world, in order to create a chrysalis to build around it to begin it's 50 year transformation into a gargantuan cannibal moth - they each other for sustenance. When the chrysalis is formed with the caterpillar inside, the Nelid force the transformation process to slow at an exponential rate, then begin to insert technology built by their slaves, psionically activated computers and systems, weapons, bridge controls, etc. The bays are connected by plasma goo filled corridors that aren't particularly level as a transit surface, while the Nelid can swim in ths viscous, transparent liquid, it is problematic for humanoids to negotiate the enviroment in their heavy armors. The drives are inserted into it's anal cavity (?!). A forward hanger sits beneath the bridge containing walking mounted vehicles that the Nelid use for more movement on solid terrain, as well as fast and maneuverable high speed hover fighter craft.
