* [[Absent Aliens]]: Unless you're counting the mods based on ''[[Star Wars]]'', ''[[Star Trek]]'', ''[[Babylon 5]]'' or other [[The Verse|verses]], which feature the ships of the various non-human species from those movies and TV shows.
* [[Alternate History]]: In some of the mods and add-ons (e.g. [[Red Scare|the Soviet Union narrowly beats the US to the first succesful Moon landing]], [[What Could Have Been|an Apollo Programme-derived spacecraft lands on Mars in 1985]], etc.). Also, in the default scenarios Mir is still flying, and has been moved into a convenient orbit for lunar ejections.
* [[Asteroid Miners]]: The [[Twenty Minutes Into the Future]] [[Red Dwarf (TV)|JMC]] Mining Company in scenarios involving the Delta Glider Mk IV.
* [[Better Than It Sounds Video Games]]
* [[Cool Starship|Cool Spaceplane]]: The entire Delta Glider class. And for some, [[Real Life]] spaceplanes, like NASA's [[Long Runners|Space Shuttle]], the [[Russian Guy Suffers Most|ill-fated Russian]] ''Buran'' or [[What Could Have Been|the never built]] ESA [[Fragile Speedster|Hermes space shuttle]].
