Those are great ideas!

BTW, I hate to ask, but I have no idea what MOC stands for.

I'm game.  I have three large minifig scale ideas floating in my head • right
now.  Whatever you do, give the people plenty of time to create their
entries, it will result in a much better field.  It has been a while since • I
created a space MOC and up until now my piece count has kept me restrained • to
smaller 1 or 2 man ships.  But now I should have enough.  Here are my • three
ideas.

A capital ship in gray and dark grew with red highlights.  I have decided • on a
the general shape of the craft, and it would contain a docking bay as well • as
storage and passenger areas.

A Blacktron Landing ship.  I have the shape already drawn out.  I also • have
exciting ideas of for the design of two fighters and one tank that will be
stored within.  I'll need to obtain 1 more msg intercept base and some • more
black parts before I can start this one.

Explorion sciece vessel.  This is a result of trying to use those large • white
cockpit pieces that come with the lare explorion ship.  This project is in • the
very early stages.  I'm still leraning how to use those pieces.

I was thinking that it would be fun to have an MOC contest judged in a • few
areas:  Biggest MOC, Most Well-Designed MOC, and Most • Technology-Utilizing MOC
(i.e. with motors, lights, possibly some dacta, technic, and mindstorms
elements).  Everyone could post a link to pictures of their MOC and state • the
size (length, width, and heighth), as well as other statistics.  We would • then
judge the ships.  What does everyone think of this?

By the way, I'm also building an MO, the Spartan, that I plan to be • around 325
studs long when finished.  My goal is to be able to fit four capital • ships I
made the size of the deep freeze defender in the docking bay.  They will • be
suspended overhead and technicians will use catwalks to get to the • support
releases.  I am planning on using four of the alien saucer pieces in a • circle
of four (16 total) as the main drive system.  The docking bay will have • lights
and so will the bridge.  The barracks will be able to hold 175 men in • triple
bunkbeds arranged in five rows.  There will be a full bathroom with 20 • toilets
(not much for the crew size) and 20 showers.  Working electronic • elevators
will provide transportation between floors.  Transportation in the • docking bay
is via a large electric monorail system; a quick and effective transport.
There will be several mini-docking bays along the ship's expanse, • including
private ones for the higher-ups. The ship's troops look very cool.  They • have
grey legs, and grey white-dotted Fright Knights torsos.  They have grey
helmets and black visors.  I have split them up into divisions.  Each • division
is 25 men, each squad is 5 men.  Three men in the squad are armed with • simple
T-Rifles (standard issue blaster rifles), one is a bazooka specialist, • and one
is either a sniper with a W9-30 Sniper Rifle (black rifle with a short • black
antenna) or a grenadier with a pack of grenades.  This gives me 35 • bazooka
men, 105 riflemen, and 35 other specialists.  Those are my ground troops,
which are transported to the field by the MOC itself through the use of
atmospheric maneuvering vanes.  I am also working on 3 squads of 12 • fighters
to go in the ship.  I'll stop ranting here, lemme know what you think • about
the MOC contest.
