Which is, in the wake of Prometheus, now the starboard prong.

Sad but true.

Why would you relate a classic metal song to this garbage?

Wait what do you mean?

People assume what we saw in Alien was the front of the ship. Prometheus showed it to be the back of the ship.

[maledoro]

Not to sound sarcastic, but people thought that what we saw in Alien was the front of the ship? I've always thought of it as the back.

I guess I'm mis-remembering 'Prometheus', because I don't recall it changing the orientation of the ship.

End of Prometheus shows the ship flying with the prongs facing behind it.

Plenty of people thought it was the front. I don't know why, but that's also what I figured.

I've been haunting the boards for almost ten years now and I did not know that. I feel like I've been living a lie.

It never came up, man. I'm ... I'm sorry.

Huh, yet another reason for me to re-watch the movie.

I always assumed the prongs-forward was the way it was meant to fly. Like, the two prongs have things that don't really look like engines, so I figured they were weapons/cockpits/sensors/whatever, and the "forward" entrance to the ship was the 3 vagina-looking holes on the bottom in the middle that Dallas and co. use to enter it in 'Alien'.

Incidentally based on the "holographic space battle" easter egg in Colonial Marines, the developers thought the prongs were the "front" of the ship, too.

The ship in the holographic space battle also is flying with a busted arm so I dunno how much thought they even put into it lol

[SM]

Very little.  They had 8 months to correct that.

So did the guys who did the Blu-Ray menus.  Because I (along with most people) assumed it flew prongs forward.

What do you mean about the blu-ray menus?

Don't forget though - the tunnels from the 3 vaginal openings are way to small for a jockey or engineer to walk through.  I always figured they were just exhaust vents or something - not necessarily the engines, but vents nevertheless (I also believed the ship flew prongs forward).

The ship flies ass forward at the very last shot of Prometheus, I believe, as Shaw closes her monologue and you see it zoom up into the bright heavens.

Starboard side, aft, etc, I think SM means that.
