apologies if this has been covered I did try checking first??? so..... has anyone got a theory about the differing spaceship designs there is the round ship in the opening scene when the Elders seem to be present and then the derelict/juggernaut which seems to have a military purpose I wonder if the round ship is under one of those pyramids? or maybe the round one is a huge mother ship perfect shape for fitting in circular styled Juggernauts? thoughts?

in the mist, the Mothership (as we saw it in the pre-Restoration cut) is a smooth slice of blackness, but you'll see in the (certainly in the top half of the) pre-production sketch that there's all sorts of Gigerisations, displacements and extrusions all over dat thaaang. Also, from this other pre-production sketch, it should have been 'more like a conventional winged-teardrop spaceship' (which I'm not fond of): [img]http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6swg7B1TC1rnm594o1_500.jpg[/img]

"..this suggests to me that many extraordinary things could have happened in the intervening time.." THe time frame may be critcal for the story development...especially when there is a closer look at the 'Engineers; outpost on the moon..and find Weyland logos on the contents in the cave. Humans have been there before...
