Hi all. After two years of lurking, I’ve decided to post one of my MOC’s on Lugnet.

The CLPS mail ship is, of course, a mail ship. Why would people in a space going civilization write letters? Beats me. We have the internet. We still write letters.

Nonetheless, the mail ship has a reasonably low capacity (You don’t see the USPS running full length trains across the country): 6 standard sized crates, and however much data can be fit into its databanks.

This ship is consistent with technologies outlined in Larry Niven’s “Known Space” series: it features a Quantum one hyperdrive, inertial compensators, fusion engines, and an auto kitchen. Everything you need for a couple days of space travel.

(...) I love the front half. The shape and color scheme work really well up there. The rear half seems to be really busy, with the different-colored cargo containers combined with the yellow/black striping. That's realistic, though. I love the (...) (18 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.space, FTX)
