Talk:Laden

I have a question. What would a cargo ship look liike? I know that theyre extremely large, and given that fact, why aren't they armed and made for combat. Just an inquiry, one of my less intriguing ones. Love- A friend of a friend.

I'm not totally sure what you mean. I don't remember any sources saying whether Laden was armed, but it was built before the Human-Covenant War started, so there might not have been as much need to arm it. Also, size isn't necessarily an advantage in space combat; it makes you less maneuverable and a bigger target. --68.44.13.236 21:45, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Inspiration

The artists did not create an original design for this station. Instead they used a model created in Google Sketchup and uploaded to the 3d Warehouse. See here: http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=23a78b3780314e35e8da8cbc42ee794a

This model was uploaded about 2 years before Boot Camp was released.173.157.144.186 19:14, 22 April 2013 (EDT)

That design doesn't look especially similar. It lacks the spherical midsection, and command towers on spacecraft have been a major trope since Star Wars' Star Destroyers. That file you posted for the Fermion station was interesting, though. -- Qura 'Morhek ^{The Autocrat of Morheka} 06:45, 23 April 2013 (EDT)

Take a closer look. The engine section is identical. 184.239.252.176 16:22, 23 April 2013 (EDT)
