#sci-fi concept

The “living ship” genre of starship is pretty common across sci-fi. But why are they always animals?? I want to see a living ship that’s grown.

As in, a massive, still-growing plant starship that photosynthesizes with raw, unfiltered starlight and drifts through the universe. The bigger the starship, the older it is (and likely, assuming a sci-fi universe where everyone wants everyone else dead), the better it is in combat.

If you still want to keep the whole color/smooth lines and weird shapes vibe that so much of the living ship genre loves, then just make it a fungus. Those things are terrifying. (And the concept of starfighter spores ejecting from gills along its sides or something is cool as hell.) or maybe the fungus takes over destroyed ships and you get these massive fungi-covered ships drifting through space and killing things.

What Do Spaceships Dream Of?

two ppl who are the brains/inside of a small space ships.

they each work with their unique 4 person ship crews.

but when the humans are docked on mothership, and the two are basically 'alone' in the ship bay, they can speak to each other alone.

Their crews do pretty obviously forget that these are people, who were living normal lives, before x y or z event that had them tombed and wired into a living spaceship brain.

They find so much comfort in each others company when they are alone in the dock station. They spend these times making up stories or making hypotheicals or talking about whatever they can think of.

One of them is still able to 'sleep' and experiences dreams still. the other does/can not.

the two have gotten into the habit of

dreamer: i had a dream-

the other: What do spaceships dream of?

before the dreamer explains the dream

here's their two ships and an example of what they look like inside. they are cocooned in the bottoms of the ships, locked up tight from the crew and only able to be properly opened and maintenanced when docked and with a specialized crew. although they are able to fully monitor their own vitals and needs, the coffin works perfectly as a jelly cacoon

They have voices similar to glados/Miku. Have a robotic/static twang as they are recorded lines that are remeshed to communicate the Ship Herald (coffin guys here) thoughts.
