If you want to get picky, you could also point out the "downward" protuberance. That said, the top picture doesn't appear to have the out-ward projecting hangers, or anything close to 'em... And there definitely isn't the "equator line" on the Kol, either.

I would think you need to be pickier to say they are not similar then to say they are. Being similar isn’t being identical, so saying the ship has a hanger here or there doesn’t mean much. I’m talking about the basic profile of the ship.




The bow of the old Kol was almost as wide as it was tall and when you put the 3 together the old Kol didn't really look anything like the Sulaco. If not for the scattered antennas in the front there wouldn’t be any resemblance.

With the new Kol the bow is thinner like the Sulaco and the antennas are more boxed in like the Sulaco. The aft section is more of a separate structure like the Sulaco.

Just something I noticed and thought I would share. I’m not saying “OMFG they ripped of that ship.” It’s also not like I’m looking at a piece of toast and seeing the Virgin Mary the ships are similar.

I'm sorry, but I just don't see the similarity. Sure, there are some (limited) commonalities... but they really boil down to the antenna coming off the front. So I guess the Kol looks like an Omega Destroyer, too! (Not to mention who knows how many other sci-fi ships!)

If you want to disagree for the sake of disagreeing that’s fine. If that is not the case see an optometrist, because I can’t even begin to take you seriously on that.

Do take me seriously. And its not an optometrist I'd need, but a neurologist -- I'm probably not processing the image the same way you are, so I don't see the similarity. That fits right in with other stuff I do (I do not process sound right, for example -- I have trouble distinguishing between sounds, and its purely a processing, not hearing, issue).

Well I hope you don’t drive. 

If a dev responded and said, “Yes we got inspiration from that ship” you would be like “Oh yeah now I see it.” My comparison is nothing more than the basic profile/layout of the ships. I think you are more hung up on very specific characteristics, so you can disagree. Similar is not the same as identical and I’m not saying they are identical.

No, I wouldn't. Contrary to public opinion, I'm not that bad.



Sheesh. You didn't listen to what I said. I don't process things in the same way -- not doesn't make it inferior or better, just different.

ur "different" all right
