I looked at Soren’s “Lying Bastard” a lot while building, and tried to expand on his Pirate color scheme, also using some of his gun muzzles and greebs. Mladen’s work influenced the square-barrel gun and missile boxes. The cockpit bears a resemblance to Trevor Pruden’s Orca dropship, and the “thruster shot” is reminiscent of Keith Goldman’s “Ghoul”. (There’s a joke in there somewhere, I just know it.) I also used one of Paul Hartzog’s chair designs. I probably missed a credit here, so let me know if I used your idea and didn’t mention you.

I never thought I’d use twelve of those AT-AT click hinges in one MOC, but here you go.

This thing is pretty nice. It bothers me that it doesn’t have any thruster pods or engines at the front, but your techsplanation for that is acceptable. It strikes me as a sort of space-only vessel, and looks pretty good for that. Missiles are always fun, and I think the cockpit is a nice arrangement. Honestly, the powered armor inside are almost a let-down, I expected something bigger in those compartments, something that would barely fit into the space. Good stuff.
