does anybody know what the salvage ship from aliens looks like? is there any concept art or models anywhere? all i can find is the still from the movie, which seems to be an airlock on the very bottom, with lots of antenna or maybe some kind of equipment like cranes and lifts to help dock ships? well anyway it just looks cool and i was hoping someone knew what the entire thing looks like. also the alien anthology wiki was no help lol [img]http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb58378/alienanthology/images/4/4f/Deep_salvage_ship.jpg[/img]

This is called a survival craft adrift, waiting rescue 50 years later. The engineer was awakened to 2000 years later from his lethargy and look what happened!

This is the Space Station that she was taken to after her 57 years in Stassis... If you look to the middle just below centre I think I see a ship?? could that be the salvage ship?? [img]http://dontbelieveanything.files.wordpress.com/2012/09/vxzo2m1knr7bbkmwyzu8ijgpzni.jpg[/img]

thats gateway station, and that ship is a "gateway station shuttle" here is a model of it [img]http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FliLUNPleN4/SbKe16tZboI/AAAAAAAABu8/99QmRFCrz4w/s1600/kg_alien-ress_gateway_shuttle-004.jpg[/img] far to small to be the salvage ship.

It might be a matte painting, because i know that gateway station was a matte painting accept for the really close details witch was like a model that seeped into the painting [img]http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_rzdB5a4kLAo/S60BAOfyDTI/AAAAAAAATPs/AbW8hVgyheY/s1600/skotak.jpg[/img] so maybe the salvage ship was a painting and the arms/antennas are real? could be.
