Could be worth renaming/splitting? The name EldritchStarship does make it sound like it should be the eldritch horror equivalent of StandardHumanSpaceship / StandardAlienSpaceship / etc, which are primarily visual tropes. There does seem to be a recurring visual trope here which might not be directly covered elsewhere.

The recurring visual/aesthetic trope here which might not be directly covered elsewhere could be separated from the more... conceptual aspects?

The distinction drawn back during the TLP discussion for FlyingCutlerySpaceship was that this was the [starship/time machine/other conveyance]-based equivalent of EldritchLocation. Rather than being about appearance, it was about how time/space/perception/thought/the ship itself/etc behaved strangely, whether it looked bizarre and alien or entirely mundane (like the titular \'\'Film/Event Horizon\'\' or some incarnations of [[Series/DoctorWho the TARDIS]]).

Could be worth renaming/splitting? The name EldritchStarship, on the other hand, does make it sound like it should be the eldritch horror equivalent of StandardHumanSpaceship / StandardAlienSpaceship / etc, which are primarily visual tropes.

Possibly worth re-opening this topic in a less heated manner? It seems like several recent examples are mostly about ships which appear creepy and alien without the smooth lines of StandardAlienSpaceship or jaggedness of FlyingCutlerySpaceship. I agree that that could be tropeworthy and possibly separate from LivingShip / OrganicTechnology, but the visual elements aren\'t necessarily the same as what\'s being described here.

And that\'s assuming \

And that\\\'s assuming \\\"Lesser Lord Kusanali\\\" is even the Dendro Archon. Apparently, in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean translations, they\\\'re referred to with a different title than the Dendro Archon.
