Some "Ody" Shots.

This modular gunship of the United Earth Space Forces is capable of faster then light jumps, planetary insertion, anti armor, anti infantry, anti aircraft, and transport ops. A troop carriage can be installed on the belly of the Ody for rapid troop deployment and evac, or the Ody can be loaded with conventional weaponry.
The Gau 8 on the nose is a relic from the 21st century but it is the standard main gun for the Ody.
She is VTOL capable and can carry up to 20,000 lbs max load whether it be troops or weapons before she is rendered unable to fly. In space she can be equiped with robotic arms instead of wings and be used as a repair boat or logistics unit for capital ships.
Her only weakness is lack of heavy armor and her exposed engines.

Where the cockpit meets the body looks kind of weak. Is it strong enough to swoosh, or do you have to be careful?

It surprisingly is strong enough to swoosh. My old 2005 Orbital Frame MOC However was not strong enough to Swoosh.
This guy was flimsy as hell.

I gotta say again, I love that thing. I really need a gunship... well, actually, I need anything that can fly for my army, as I have none.

Optional crew of cyborgs (not recommended as cyborgs and other AI constructs love to revolt against mankind)
Ship Artificial Intelligence: Considers itself a part of the crew but is self aware that it is only a program.

The robot laws did nothing to alleviate this problem. It's also the source of much drama and comedy, so will not be fixed anytime soon. Thanks for the added information about your frigate! Looks like your fighters are more than up to par too

Holy Starcraft, Batman! Those ships are beautimusMaximus. Factions centered around Space Warfare are always awesome.

Ha HA! Jetfire...

Seriously though, this Versatile is an awesome build...

...But the only thing that bugs me about it is that the rudders are KIBBLE!
Since that reminds me too much of Mega Bloks Built-2-Rule and Kre-O Transformers, I have to wonder if there isn't anything you could do about that...

Personally, I'd see if you couldn't replace the left hand's round tile with a swivel plate and attach a rudder to that, making it into a fold out arm blade...
...Then again, it would be rather limp outside of jet mode...


Ironically enough, Briktoid Automata has a vehicle for a similar purpose, but since its pilot program doesn't need a cockpit...

...The weren't constrained by conventional designs!

Ody is pretty awesome too!

Are the drop troopers UEG or UESF? Their card says UEG in the top two places but then it says UESF in the description.

They are the same entity. The United Space Government is the space equivalent to the United States of America. The United Earth Space Forces is the space equivalent of the United States Air Force or United States Army. There is a United Earth Special Forces, United Earth Intelligence Agency etc. I do understand where the confusion comes from though, I will try to post a comprehensive fiction fluff when I get the time. Thank you for the questions and critiques.

Awesome stuff, especially the SHIP.

There we go. White Eagle is posting his shit in other peoples' army threads again.
