SHIP WIP

Post by **fredde** » Fri Jun 11, 2010 2:05 pm

this is a thread about my inprogress mech carrier

this is the weapons that i plan to use (altough i will likely add moar of the blue tipped turrets and other turrets besides these) the big ones with gray barrels are rail gun turrets and the small ones are plasma turrets

this is the rear landing platform i plan to add a small shuttle for crew transfers and things like that

it swings open like so and the top hatch goes up and out of the way

a picture from the hole were engines will be

a side view taken from my bed since my table is too cluttered to fit the ship

here are were the mechs are stationed the mechs are a heavy and a sniper buzzard and on the opposite side is two standard buzzards

here is the buzzard post if you are interested

thats it the construction is at halt right now since i await further brick elivery

also i plan to add two very large side pods on the sides that will contain most of the crew quarters so its not done by far but its getting there

Wow, your ship building just went from good to phenomenal. This is a very good ship and I like the way that you are developing/maturing your skills.

Jebas, Fredde, you get better and better. The weapons and the ship looks awesome- and an operable landing platform. Win.

Wow. That is just incredible. As already said, you're getting better and better along the way, and it's cool to see how you've improved over time.

You know, I was going to build my own ship, but then I put it on hold for other stuff. This makes we want to start it up again.

Great job fredde, the ship is lookin phenominal. I like the landing platform too.(Looks like it got to step it up with my refit) It looks a bit high though, is it going to extend down further or is it for deploying fighters?

I like that stuff swings out. It takes much too much fore-planning to do that, so I have never accomplished such a feat myself.

Those are some amazing turrets you got there!

They are nice turrets.... If you're going to put the ship into battle, take account of weapon limitations...

Looks like a pretty extensive SHIP. I love the turrets BTW.

CP cost and even the rules are ignorable in Brikwars. It actually says in the rules that it's best to avoid CP costs. So don't listen to these last few comments, they are only made by jealous players trying to stifling your creativity so you don't make them look bad. Go for it big time, add every loose bit of Lego to this thing.

I like that turret hanging from the ceiling, in fact, I'm gonna steal it. Nice ship!

Warhead's right, go for broke, my first ship did look better with all the weapons I mounted on her. Rules just limit creativity. Ignore my previous post.
