What's wrong with Shoeboxes hanging off a bar? I assume this ship is only
ever designed for space flight not atmospheric. As long as the ship can
withstand the force exerted by the engines (Or has inertial dampers) it's
fine. Take a look at a pic of the international space station, Coke Cans on
string.
In The Lego Universe how is this ship constructed? Built in orbiting
factories and bolted together? built planet side and launched piecewise?
It's not hard to visualse a "Space-Ship-System" Where Ships are bolted
together from stock components to suit a particular mission. Need more
crew? Bolt on a few more living quarter modules? Want to blow stuff up?
Stick in some Mark3, 1x1 Chaff Cannons! Want To Build a Super Star
Destroyer? Drop by Larry's and borrow some pieces!
Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you how to build, It's your
vision Go For it. I started out trying to find out where that vision came
from and got carried away with my own sorry.
Cheers
