I'm not sure if this has been brought up before in the community (I tried looking in this section of the forums with the search function and didn't turn up anything), but I think there may be some symbolism to the South Korean flag with a Void Seeker pic conceptualized by Samwise.
You'll find the black 'dash marks' of the flag near the 'front' of the 'green energy pool' of the image (where the two ends of the 'wings' meet to form the long, narrow gap at the front end of the ship).
It also turns out it's in the rendering of the in-game model, albeit from a different orientation, if I'm not mistaken.
For a quick comparison, here's the South Korean flag:
If this is old news, sorry that I'm so far behind on it. Still an interesting little tidbit of design.

Uhh, they dont really look alike... I dont think its worth making a conspiracy theory over this
edit: Didnt notice the markings were that different and matched up, its interesting... but still kinda just a small thing
|
In the top picture, you'd have to rotate ordering of the mark sets around 90 degrees clock wise but other then that... mind=blown.

I'm pretty sure I only claimed it was 'an interesting tidbit of design', not a conspiracy theory.

Wow nice find! pretty cool, albeit subtle homage
|
That is really cool! It took me a while to see it, but once I did, I realized you're absolutely right!
How did you notice that?

I have it as a desktop wallpaper, and found myself blankly staring at it for a good long while, and it struck me like a thundering 'derp'. And yes, my mind was blown at that moment.

wow
crazy find
mind definitely blown
|
heaven earth fire water agogo baby
|
Mind blown indeed, cool find!
|
HOLY SHIT
But yeah the hashmarks do have a symbolic purpose I believe so its not impossible that the voidseeker is NOT an homage to south korea.
|
haha wow man, that is pretty cool

Never noticed that before. Crazy shit

Means that Koreans fly ships that look like the Halo Energy sword, which looks badass
|
Excellent find! Took me a while.
Could definitely be a 'once you see it, you'll shit bricks' meme...
|
was like wtf for a while and then died a bit (in a good way). awesome find.
|
That's actually pretty cool, definitiely intended, no way that just happened to be so.
|
Woah, this is an interesting find.
