I'm just saying. Look at the talk prometheus still photo of the ship rolling and tell me you don't see it. Maybe someone with skills can paste the photo.

Just how practical is this ship's design? I mean a ring shaped vessel..must be a nightmare for the crew to work on. Maybe that is the answer,,The Engineers were not thinking beings,,androids going through robotic motions,,never really thinking,,just doing what is programmed in their DNA..execute the next program.

@Indy John: [i]"Just how practical is this ship's design? I mean a ring shaped vessel..must be a nightmare for the crew to work on."[/i] Aerodynamically, it's pants. So we can rule out this as being any kind of issue: it must have a force bubble that whips air out of the way when it's in flight. As to why it is the shape that it is, it's an enduring mystery. Engineers don't have to play by our rules. They're clearly into symbolism in a big way (murals, temples, carvings, ships...) and that seems to take precedent over comfort. Their technology (and Giger's design!) is awesome. Maybe they grew the ship using some kind of biotech. It certainly looks like some kind of organic form. You have to be careful using words like these, though, since they are a super-advanced species. Extrapolating the kind of technology that we know about may not be at all appropriate for such a civilization.

"...They're clearly into symbolism in a big way (murals, temples, carvings, ships...) Maybe this the 'artistic' side of Engineerrs' personality Something that makes a statement to other species they discovered around their Universe... It seems to me that the missing part of the ring was intentional..and 'Circle of Life' thinking is OK ..for now..

Yup, there's something in that I think. Also has anyone else thought this looks familiar? Cant find a pic online but on my Queen Alien collectible from Aliens, if you look at the spines on her back they look remarkably similar....
