Greetings comrades of the Eastern Block. If you have been on the front lines with our recent actions to liberate the poor peoples of the Tollan and Liandra colonies, you may have seen this ship buzzing through the skies!





Comrades, may I present the Ka-95 Sokolica!






Please make sure and take a tour of this vessel here, as you may not get another chance, unless you are under fire.

Wow! What a cool looking ship! I REALLY like the non-conventional shape and the vector thrusters...it’s easy to see a few of these cricling a drop zone firing off their weapons.

Great job!

Red ship + battle zone = easy target.

Otherwise, this ship is pure eye candy. Lots of neat details and openy-shutty things give me lots to look at. Thanks.

Cheers,

*snicker*  So, um, what exactly happens when you fire off each of the 16
multi-purpose rockets?  *chuckle*  I'm particularly interested to see what
happens when you fire off the two in the lower inside corners...  *guffaw*  (You
might want to remove the clips on either side of the cockpit, there, buddy)  ;P

Are you bringing this to the April meeting?

Unfortunately, you fail to take into account Eastern Block Missile subGuidance
System v10.2 .  While to the simple mind, it would seem that a missile would
shoot out directly ahead and thus strike the clips on either side of the
cockpit.  However, in reality, the moment the missile leaves its tube, the
subGuidance System takes over and re-directs the missile to the intended target,
while avoiding all friendly targets.  It really is simple, actually - that is,
if you properly understand advanced Eastern Block technology, which really does
make your pathetic capitalist notion of science seem like child's play.

You forget that the Sokolica has a very intricate energy shield and anti-sensor technology that makes it very difficult to hit either with conventional weapons or new fangled electronic locl/laser guns.

And Block scientists have found that the site of the giant red Sokolica actually makes enemy soldier soil themselves compulsively.

Aye, she will be there. Along with some other stuff I got in the works. One of which is *required* to be done by March 31st (says Jon palmer)

It really is too bad your troops have no weapons.

snip This is pretty cool. I really like the shape of your thrusters. the cockpit looks pretty roomy, how’s the troop compartment. I just built something similar a few weeks ago (looks completely different, except that it’s red too) and my troop compartment can barely fit five guys with creative seating. I think you made good use of decorated parts here too, it’s not over the top.

Ah, your 3vilness, it would appear that with the ‘Quick-Drop’ technology, the troops are the payload. Perhaps it’s a bizarre reward system whereby each soldier knows that they are Da Bomb.

Peace and incoming,

Uh.. it’s a supply problem. The transport of SpaceK-47s and bread hasn’t arrived for this month.

Looks pretty sweet. I’m looking forward to seeing it in person.

Cool ship, Rick. I like the missle arrays and the pivoting engines. Nicely done.

Wouldn't it be simpler to have them all rack to the outside of the launch bays,
thus avoiding that situation altogether?

Dude, you're talking to the man who put an outdoor pool on the moon.  And
invented Fleebnork-proof helmets (still working on a bodysuit, but...).  I'm
well-versed in the practical aplication of Cartoon Physics, which was invented
by capitalists.

Very sexy. I was a fan of the CV-12 Badger, but I like this even more! Retractable landing gear would have been a nice touch... but not a big thing. Well done!

Cheers,
