Hello, all! Mostly a lurker, life's been busy -- a career position at a busy
hospital in the Baltimore area? Maybe, if I'm lucky. Odd, then, that I'm
building military MOCs. Well.
Introducing the UIW's Improved Combat Superiority Fightercraft:
(I hope I'm doing this Lugnet code properly)
<<http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Snay/UIW/CombatSpaceFighter/front_angled.jpg>>
The ICSF boasts four engines, two of which are dual-capable of limited FTL
jumps. Featuring improved thruster-control and a powerful radar/sensor array in
the nose, the fighter's armaments include 50mm cannons mounted port and
starboard, as well as four missile or probe mounting points under the fuselage.
A utility box behind the pilot's chair houses survival gear (including a fire
extinguisher), and a sparse repair kit for minor damage. Learning from previous
designs, designers included a direct access point to the ship's computer and
fuel systems on the nose, as well as cutting space by leaving some engine
components exposed. In response to a vast number of pilot losses as a result of
landing-gear failure, the undercarriage was reinforced to act as a landing skid.
Please, don't pull punches in your critiques. Thank you.

| (...) Not bad at all. Looks to me like an improved Battlestar Galactica Colonial Viper. I like the color scheme. It's a bit chunky in spots, like the fins on the back, but sometimes you're limited to the pieces at hand. Jeff (20 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.space)

| (...) looks like a spaceship that you'd see as a non-LEGO toy. (I mean that as a good thing.) I think it would be neat, if you have enough pieces, to make 4 or 5 of them, each with a different colored stripe down the front. David "Fuzzy" Gregory (20 years ago, 11-Oct-05, to lugnet.space)
