Hello again. I have another MOC to share. This mysterious ship is Phineass
McBride’s electronic spy ship know as the ThirdEye. Phineass is known
throughout the galaxy as an expert info-pirate who deals information to the
highest bidder. Restored from a drifting PCS scoutship hulk found in the
Rigel asteroid belt, it cannot be found in any spacecraft registry.
Phineass has outfitted his ship with hacking and comm gear that can detect,
intercept and decode just about any comm signal known to minifigs. With all
the electronic gear installed there is little room for anything else. The
ship is un-armed and Phineass relies on the its powerful electronic jamming
suite and upgraded sublight drives to stay out of trouble until he gets to
the nearest jump-gate. Phineass has installed a limited capcity FTL drive
that is good for only 2 pre-plotted jumps before it has to be overhauled for
really dire emergencies.
It is rumored that Phineass is an ex-LCSA intelligence agency employee who
still does work for the government. All government officals vigorously deny
this rumor.

builders notes:
This moc started off as an exercise in how to use the JSF canopy in a SNOT
manner and evolved into an a ship that is essentially entirely SNOT. Infact,
I think I might have succeeded in having studs pointing in just about every
direction. I’m especially pleased with how the cockpit turned out.
I also wanted this craft to have a zero-g, utilitarian look to it. It wasn’t
until I had finished the sensor array greebles under the cockpit that I
decided what this ship’s function really was.
hope you all enjoy,

This ship looks great. I love snot work that goes every which way but still
looks good. Nice Job.

| SNIP (...) Thanks. The cockpit was the hardest to get right. The only think I don't like is that the engines tend to be a bit flimsy. SNOT is fun and very challenging but it is also nice to build conventionally from time to time. drc (21 years ago, 18-Dec-03, to lugnet.space, FTX)
