late WIP Fleet tender / collier

Post by Strana » Thu Jul 09, 2009 12:20 am

well seeing as the ship yards are busy i was thinkin wheres the guys that have to go and move crap about the battle field, get stuck dragging the shiny ships back to port etc and scince one of the large starwars sets was 50% off i leaped at the chance to build another ship.
im calling it the "RANCID FISH"

here it has one cargo bow attached, one that would most likely cary small arms food other small supplies, on the otherside is rescue repair and recovery automata, consisting of several arms and a harppoon cannon obviously <a href='http://tinyurl.com/y42zurt'>alot</a> more can be peged to the hull when building this i wanted it to be as flexible as possible, =that and i like the old sci fi designs . also the reason it has a door at the prow is that im building my ships along a standardized docking hatch, basically somewhere on the ship that it would not be blocked in contact with a surface it needs a hatch, on the HODGEPODGE these are located on either gun wing in the RANCID FISH its located on the nose. the ship will get some light armaments later

You should have that cargo area on the same side as the arms, to hold troops for boarding procedures.....

actually the rear door opens up for boarding parties,/ reapair crews. also the platforms to each side of the ship are also used as dispersment platforms when coming along side a ship
