Need blocks that look like dis.

Yeah, that is true.
I'm more looking for actual blocks I can around with. I'm thinking quartz/smokey quartz can give me the clean look. AE definitely fits the bill for the monitors, etc.
But, that's one block (I guess glass is obvious choice as well), so I'm looking for more.

Well, it isn't necessarily about copying these images. I just want to identify blocks that fit the theme that corresponds to the Enterprise in the latest Star Trek film.
Then I can begin to design rooms that fit these theme, but is FTB appropriate. Building castles and shit isn't really fun for me, since there is nothing to engineer, aside from the building plan. Thus, reproducing the enterprise isn't really the goal here.

So any suggestions? I would like a darker theme, similar to the big ass mother fucker that the admiral dude drove in the end, and then the other dude crashed into earth and fucked everything up.
So, probably iron blocks and stuff, but that is way late game, being able to afford shit like that... Carpenter blocks might be my best friend.
Quartz, glass, iron blocks, excessive use of AE. What other mother fuckers have you got in mind?

It would be pretty cool to have blocks that look like this but actually do things. Having Computercraft computers, crafting tables, etc that look like Science Fiction computer terminals would be pretty awesome.
As far as the micro-blocks go, how much control do you have over where you can place inside the block? I've never thought about it before, but could you make nooks and just fill in parts of the block to make it look really detailed?
O_O. You devil.
Well, MFFS could achieve that to the same extent.
I actually was thinking about an FTB challenge PvP map, similar to run for the wool, but instead you are attacking a base filled with MFFS/autoturrets, using MFFS to rebuild destroyed shit and stuff. A lot of things would be warded via TC4, so simple objectives like getting to the one non-warded energy conduit, to cut off power to certain sections, etc.
Idea for the public realm ;D.

A lot of things can be warded, assuming they aren't tile entities. Say, did you know that a Tile Entity is basically anything that has data beyond block texture? If your block has any of the following, it's likely a Tile Entity.
- GUI
- Inventory slots
- Does things when given a redstone signal
- Does things when on fire
- Does things when given energy in some way, shape or form
- Just plain ol' does something other then sit there and look pretty.
Check out the mod "Chisel" You can change the texture of many blocks (like iron blocks) in to many different other textures, and some of them are connected textures.
I've done this with those blocks so far:

quite easy to get a "factory" feel with it. (especially when using the factory block)

^ yup, chisel.
I only use the default texture pack and still there's all kinds of cool textures you can come up with. Try detailing some iron blocks for that futuristicky white panelling, also factory blocks have a couple of nice options for making nice factory grate walkway type effects.

Remember that the ME access terminals, crafting monitors etc can be dyed with the IC2 Painters. To chance the purple to whatever colour you choose(except white apparently).
It is crafted as Futuristic Armor Plating Block and is made by an Iron Ingot surrounded by 8 Stone.
