Greetings everyone, I've been making a semi-realistic sci-fi video game, so I was thinking about the design of the space cruiser, which uses the Alcubierre Warp Drive system to move, researching about references for a ship prepared to this system and movement I've found out 2 main designs, note the difference between them

 

Type 1:

 

 

 

Type 2:

 

 

Facing all these differences, mainly on the pipe structures, I was asking, what is the best and more acurate design? Could someone help me in this one?

 

Thanks;

Arthur

The system is purely hypothetical, so I don't think there is an answer to the question of "which is a more accurate design".

It's sort of like saying, "Which of these two looks more like a time machine?"

 

Are you looking for a design that gives more visual cues that the ship is contracting space in front of it, and expanding space behind?
