What can I say.... Inspirational....

There I was, just arrived at Laenin (galaxy 1), after receiving a tipoff from Bloomberg Markets that Gold had shot up in price there, with about 150kg of Gold on board.

Went to the main station, and, found that I could only sell 127kg of them. I thought to myself, where can I sell the rest? I know, I've got planetary landing cabilities now, so I'll pop down to the planet and sell the rest.

Well I undocked and headed down to the planet. After negotiating landing rights, I found myself docked at the spaceport. I hefted up my surplus gold and made sure I was packing my favourite blaster, and headed out of the spaceport to the local trading area.

This is what I found there:

OMG! WTF!!!!

I've been very naughty recently.

A couple of other retextured oxp ships I have been playing with. Hope you don't mind Thargoid that I have been mucking around with Aquatics oxp.

The Box escort





The man-o-war

Very pretty - I like the man'o'war very much.

I find the Box Escort particularly well done!

You can imagine how angry I was when I got this:

The fuel leak is bad enough, but I could tell that I was entering a war zone. And I didn't have an escape pod.

The box is nice except for the hatches (it's supposed to be a more organic-based ship, as are all of that shipset except the HammerHead). Similarly the body of the Man 'o' War is nice, but less keen on the blue and rust of the skirts.

But a nice job overall and no I don't mind.

If the rust was some kind of Space lichen instead...? (and looked like lichen rather than rust)

I was cruzin' the 'lanes the other day when I came across this most un-usual ship. My guess is it was something the Skunkworks were testing, but I'll tell you what, it goes like stink!

It's where the exhaust has been put that makes this one

The prototype: It goes like stink too.


Inspiration for concept: Why waste a free resource?



It's the freakin' Wright Brothers already!

By some quirky coincidence - walking in to town this morning - my mobile phone in MP3 mode randomly picked the Dumb and Dumber album - forgot how good an album that was/is.
