Alternate starship drawings/pics?

[barrataria]

Hi all, I'm messing about with some ideas for a "Tales of the Ancient Republic" Star Wars campaign, and am interested in finding good and interesting ship pics I can use as a jumping-off point for some different-looking ships. Keep in mind that this game would be 5500 years BBY (before Battle of Yavin), 500 years before Tales of the Jedi. I expect it to be mostly planetary adventure for a while (and if my main man gnombient has his way, probably a loooong while).

I'm just looking for things of a 70s type aesthetic, not too 1950s rocket-shippy, but not too angular either. I saw a picture I liked on an old Richard Avery Expendables novel... 1.bp.blogspot.com/-E9W2M9Z_7J4/T18y-Op5rkI/AAAAAAAAHdc/tMLG03ZVh9U/s1600/The+War+Games+Of+Zelos.jpg is the best I can find at the moment although my edition has a better pic of the ship.

I tried Space Opera books, and like 2300AD the shapes look too modern to me. I've also looked at the old Traveller alien modules. Any sort of inspirational drawing would be of interest. Maybe Erol Otus drew some starships?

Have you checked out the ships from the original, single-player versions of Knights of the Old Republic?

Have you looked at the ship plans for the 2300AD game?

greentongue: As noted above I looked at 2300 before posting this question.

@crussdaddy: Thanks, I think I lost the link to that site somehow. Much appreciated.
