When I first heard the game was going to be post-collapse SF confined to the solar system, I was imagining ships that looked like that, with huge radiators and no aerodynamics. Hardsuited explorers picking through ancient ruins on the curve of Olympus Mons. Something like STALKER meets Kerbal Space Program. An aesthetic nearer to the present than Halo's, not farther, with a sense that space was a wide lonely frontier that was challenging to cross and very far from home.
