Hello .spacers,

you asked for the ship to transport those big containers? Here it is, the Container Shuttle Craft CSC. Its a civilian spacecraft primarly used by big mining companys in the outer rims. Its main purpose is to collect containers loaded with construction machinery from big orbiting interstellar ships and bring them onto the nearby planets surface. The CSC is designed to operate in space and in atmosphere. Obviously it doesn’t use the physical characteristics of atmospheres for its advantage, but this is compensated through powerful thrusters. This makes the CSC very versatile in use. According to ONREN, the leading mining company, this ship is entirely peaceful.

Asked for information about the mounted cannons, the speaker of ONREN said:
“This ship is our most important work horse. Its on duty on every planet we currently harvest. It’s an entirely peaceful vessel. The mounted cannons are nesessary due to alien threats in the outer rims. Especially the Activistians of Greengalaxy are extremly aggressive. Although we have those cannons, we greatly rely on military assistance. When in use on civilized planets, the cannons are sealed and not loaded.”

Unfortunately, the manufacturer was not available for an interview. It is assumed that contracts forbid them to reveal technical details.



The brickshelf gallery is not public yet. I will announce here when it’s moderated.

PLMKWYT!

Happy building,

Daniel

PS: Who will be the first to announce a space combat capable rubber dinghy? Don’t be suspicious, I won’t pull another moc out of my hat ;-)

Yep, its official, let the ape shit fly! We are all going monkey over this, and it's easy to see why.

That's a great ship. I love the functional yet exquisitely detailed design. All of the features of the craft seem extremely natural, they go very well together. Your engineering is impressive as well. Are those landing struts pneumatically operated? (21 years ago, 15-May-04, to lugnet.space, FTX)
