... be they sailing ships or warships. Here's the results of some playing
around with them:
The Armadillo http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=18832
The Armadon http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=18826
The pictures are somewhat larger than I expected, so I hope they aren't too
slow. Mediocre blurb follows.

From the Solar Union starship library:
Ovoiti “Armadillo”
Design Code: FG0328A
Type: Ground assault fighter
Maker: Ovoiti Defense Industries
Crew: 2 (Pilot, Gunner)
Powerplant and Drive System: Unknown spectral motivator, denoted Ovoiti B2
Weaponry: 1 Heavy pulse cannon, 2 medium charge lasers
Evaluation: The Ovoiti heavy fighter known in Union ranks as the
“Armadillo” takes the stubborn Ovoiti aversion to casualties to an extreme
level, with mixed results. For its size and purpose, the Armadillo’s
weaponry is extremely underpowered, but the craft itself is nearly
impossible to knock down and fires with excellent accuracy. On the rare
occasions the Ovoiti feel the need to send a message by force, their raids
become a battle against the clock: can the infrastructure that swarms of
Armadillo’s gradually disect outlast the Ovoiti’s willingness to risk losses?
Ovoiti “Armadon”
Design Code: MW0323D
Type: Medium Transport
Maker: Ovoiti Defense Industries
Crew: 6-8
Powerplant: 2 ODIs3 StarTurbines
Drive System: 8 ODIa2 Spectral motivators
Weaponry: 8 Anti-capital arc torpedoes, 10 Tracking blast capsules
Evaluation: Where a typical Ovoiti sloop-of-war uses its speed to enter and
exit battles quickly, the “Armadon” command variant avoids the firing
entirely. The weaponry it retains is intended to discourage pursuit and
keep the tacticians it carries out of harm’s way. Created to coordinate
attacks by other Ovoiti craft, in peacetime these small command ships may be
encountered performing space traffic control or police duties.

| One question, that I bet everyone is dying to ask: how do the hulls of the Armadillo split apart? Awesome MOCs....the SNOT technique on both ships is incredible, just incredible. Can you give us some more interior shots of the Armadon? And what (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| BWHAHA!! That is too cool! I love the Armadillo. It looks like you did some work with technic gears and steering elements to get the hull to split like that, am I right? But now you've given me another great idea too, I got ship hull bits in brown (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)

| Excellent ideas here. I love both of them. The opening hull is brilliant on the Armadillo. I was originally shooting for this on my I-wing. It would have basically looked like a big flying prozac ;-) (closing up in battle mode). It was way way to (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.space)
