    Uhm, the Gekko-Go is not a starship meaning it cannot travel to another system.

    It is classified as a spacecraft, I don't exactly have a guide book handy but it is listed as such. It can also go out of atmosphere, and be in space for an undetermined amount of time.

    Unless you can present some info showing that say it would have had to return to a planet under a 24 hour window, there's not really enough evidence to say that it can't make it to say the moon, or another planet.

    I think it was said somewhere they can't go whenever they want.
    In any case following facts have been established.
    1. there are no starship on the planet
    2. the engines are based on the alien force hence it shouldn't work anywhere else but the planet.

    Re: 2 - Nirvash ver. 3 was capable of flying above the planet, which should have also meant it couldn't be there.

    Furthermore, the Gekko-Go was only in space to destroy the armada that had gathered there with the sub corral bombs.

    You also missed the fact there was a space based laser sat, so something either had to lauch it into orbit, or due to it's sheer size, it makes slightly more sense to assume it was built.

    When speaking of the planet's past, they discover earth was hit with the sub corral entity from space. I forget here if they said the population moved off into ships above the planet for a short time, and then returned. These places became the large cities.

    The Nirvash is alien and not man-made. It's energy source is unique that's why no other mech can go up there.
    The robots have normal (rocket?) propulsion as they don't have green haze flames but yellow flames. Compare episode 3 and 43 for the Gekko-Go and robot using those engines.


    Furthermore, the Gekko-Go was only in space to destroy the armada that had gathered there with the sub corral bombs.
    Doesn't look like that too me, but evenso at heights over 30 km the sky above is black. This is not conclusive.


    You also missed the fact there was a space based laser sat, so something either had to lauch it into orbit, or due to it's sheer size, it makes slightly more sense to assume it was built.
    They have a space elevator, so having any station isn't much of a problem.
    If i remember right the weapon is a remainder of past human war. Also there is a possibility of the remainder of the generation ship which was used to ship the humans around until they got sick of searching and returned. The humans don't have interstellar propulsion or drive.

    So I'm not convinced the Gekko-Go is a starship. It could work with limited capacity as a space ship, but I doubt it's a good idea for long term without replenishment or so.

    For the sake of the design, if you want I could post the one which preceeds it. Wink

    I'm not sure why we're all that concerned about it's space worthy-ness.
    It went to space, it might not be a a planetary hopper or the Enterprise, but
    it fits the other 3 categories nicely.

    Fine fine....

    I'm sort of a spaceship nut, but writing an article for one takes time.
    I'll put another one up shortly.

    I don't have them and it seems resources on the net are sparse these days despite being more redundant.
    You are welcome to add infos or pics.

    There are numerious ships left to choose from. I'm leaning toward the lost ships or LoGH for next, but these require lots of stuff. If anyone wants the Nirvana from Vandread, go ahead, because she's too ugly for me.

    Very Happy
    Not really, the artefact ship is closer to a large pod carrying design, half a decade newer than the Calnus, and one and a half decade newer than Sol Bianca. Calnus and Sol Bianca have the typical anime bottom fin design combined with a buoye. However, the artefact ship does have elements of both.

    This dolphin like design has the typical round side airlock design used in many animes. Although, the Milenium Falcon had this, it was never shown as airlock. The dolphin design will also be used in Megami Kouhosei, Battlestar Galactica 2000's Colonial One.

    The GOA design is reminiscent to Jurai ships in the Tenchi series.

    I can't find a good picture, and it's not really a space ship, but Blue Sub No 6 from...erm....Blue Submarine #6 was pretty cool looking.
