Retribution

Post by **Natalya** » Sun Oct 11, 2009 12:12 pm

Completed at last, this is the Space Ninja Attack Frigate Retribution. Measuring 87 studs long this is a formidable ship. The Space Ninjas of the Krimson Ka divide themselves into clans. Each clan is rather small as only the L33T of the L33T can become Space Ninjas. Each clan then takes a command ship and travels off into space. They rarely report back to their as-of-yet undiscovered homeworld, instead they raid and conduct missions for their supreme commander, Krimson Ka. (They are rather redundant.)

Retribution is the command ship for the Red Moon Clan, which is run by Dark Ka. He usually conducts weapon smuggling and technology stealing operations around the Assyrian//Czech border. His ship is armed with two Heavy Laser Cannons, a dual-barreled Laser Cannon turret, and a Death Ray.

The engines look small but they are quite powerful. This ship was made by the same company that designed Rhett Butler's Revenge but is a newer model meant for bigger jobs. The Space Ninjas took the ship and modified it extensively. The foreward cargo hold is home to a new power generator for example. It also got the new weapons mentioned earlier and it has been given some ECM technology.

This is the pilot's station. He flies the ship and operates the Heavy Laser Cannons.

Here's that new engine, just behind the cockpit. The control consoles can be used to control the turret and the Death Ray if needed.

Those bay doors on the side open up to reveal this.

There's a better view. These doors are used for disembarking. The doors where the engine is just open so I can show what's inside. The Ninjas bolted them shut permanently.

The weapon room. This seems to be a requirement for any ship. Notice the Sniper Rifle in the back there. Space Ninjas are trained in the art of Assassination.

And finally, Dark Ka himself in his room. This is at the back of the ship where the old generator was. The pipes and stuff under the floor in the previous picture transfer power from the generator to the engines. They weren't there when the Ninjas first got the ship. Anyway, Dark Ka runs his whole operation from this room here. This is also the room used for Ninja practice & training. That's what the mat on the floor is for.

Dark Ka now carries a crystal gun to look more gangster.

These Ninjas are reporting to him of their most recent exploits.

The ship all opened up.

And that's all. I hope you liked it.

Great. Now you should make some Shogun mecha for them.

Space Ninjas of the Krimson Ka don't operate like normal factions. They're small bands who don't like to get in big engagements unless they have very specific objectives such as "Kill the Space Pirates" or "Make a drug deal." As such, mecha would be out of character for them, though maybe I'll give them a Vesta Death Bike which could fit in the ship.

I love it but it seems like it could use another turret or two.

We need a battle with this against the Venus class (It's name escapes me at the moment).
Maybe add a cannon that fires upward (For sneak attacks), and some radar-jamming devices to this?

well thats what ECM is for. But i like how its modified for the purposes of the ninja rather than a straight military vessel. because most military commanders would never move thier engine core from an otherwise well protected area, especially against attacks, really shows that this is more of a base with engines than a run of the mill warship

My Space Commie Mech is called the Shogun.

it is interesting. im not sure how well its fits to "ninja" though. i love the backstory, and the black, but the orange really makes it stand out. i probably would have gone for something more camofluaged and stealthey, not bright and florescent. however, overall, its really a great ship

I think that it's red but the lighting is off.

BTW this is my 666th post!

I like how it looks strong and stealthy, and the back room with the mat is just awesome

That's a fine ship you've built there Natalya, I think you pulled it off magnificently.
P.S., It should have some long-range radar-invisible missiles.

Christ that is epic.

Another awesome ship. Should I pretend to be surprised?

Because I don't have to pretend to be amazed, yet again.

It's black and red, hence the Red Moon Clan. (The symbol on the sides is the Japanese character for Moon.) I guess the fluorescent lighting just screws it up.
