The Blacktron "Obsidian" Mobile Cannon

One of the lesser seen weapons in the Blacktron arsenal is the
"Obsidian" Mobile Cannon. The cannon is equipped with one of the highly
secret Blacktronium Reactors (the dome on top) which it uses to power
the three engines, as well as the main cannon and the Mass Shadow
Projectors (MSP) (Yellow cylinders on the forward surface of engines)

In typical tactical situations, the Obsidian will wait alongside a
common hyperspace route, where it will use the MSPs to project a false
planet shadow into the hyperspace lane. This will cause the computers on
the traveling vessel to drop the vessel out of hyperspace. The Obsidian
will then use its main cannon to fire a high power ion blast, disabling
the vehicle. Blacktron Invaders and Renegades move in, taking prisoners
and pirating goods. Often, the vehicles themselves are salvaged and the
parts used in other Blacktron vehicles.

All righty, there it is. :^)

Enjoy.

Great stuff Mark,

She's a beautiful shape, and would make an excellent capship is sized up a
bit. It's a fun challenge to work lights into a model, I'm doing it to my
latest ship. Once again, great work, excellent detail.

Keep on building,
