Read this first:

Then see this link that is in that article:

See the VIE logo? Ok, Virgin Interactive. See the "award" or "plate" the guy on the right side of the photo is holding with his hands? Doesn't that white figure suspiciously look like a Spider (3) to you?

 

It appears they pulled the plane out from that casing and it was fitted into that Spider-shaped part of the case. Heh. Virgin must really like the space-theme. Too bad they gave Subspace up. :D

yeah, I did

 

That's the spid from the 3d animation, top view... and the shape of that thing in the pic up there...

 

Wasted 30 seconds of my life on that

Well its obviously a crude, linear shape of the Spider. I just still wonder if that was just coincidence or they got the idea from the modern Spider. Oh well, just something I was curious about.

or maybe it is just the fact subspace ships are based on age old space ship designs. That might be the answer... nah...

I laughed at that ytmnd. If you're noticing things like this you need to leave subspace blum.gif

Oh, and "that guy on the left" is Richard Branson. He owns all things Virgin and it stupidly rich.

it must be a conspiracy

please get NASA on the line. We cannot have professionals basing their spaceship design on a 2d game. Everybody knows that real life spaceships should be 4D!

So while you people have been decussing this did none of you realize that it's the 2d model of the ship in the guy's hand?

of course we did... hence the 'but upside-down' comments... the part that looks like the spider's wings are actually the thrusters (or wings, but rear of the ship, w/e) of the one he holds
