I'm casting around, trying to find ideas to tinker with in the hopes of coming up with my own OXP sometime. It struck me suddenly that the Greatest, Deadliest, Most Implacable Threat the Universe has ever known would be tons of fun to experience within Oolite.
I am, of course, referring to this.
As a starter model, I think it could be easy enough; just a lengthened cone with a few imperfections - I doubt people would be particularly upset if every crater, ridge and groove wasn't perfectly recreated. Skinning...well, it's grey.
You probably couldn't recreate the planet-killing beam, but you could mount a mondo custom overpowered laser.
I'm going to try it.

Edit: I've downloaded Blender and I'm doing Staer9's tutorial now. I'll let you know how it goes. Assuming I actually manage to make a Planet Killer, that's when I'm going to be asking questions about putting it into the game.
