Oolite Bulletins

This is the Mandotech Killer Insect series of ships. I considered putting these in with another set I'm making called Mandotech Attack Ships, but there are enough of these that it makes a decent pack on it's own. The ships in this oxp are the FireAnt, YellowJacket, GreenHornet, and Mantis. All of them have been released individually, except Mantis. Mantis is actually the ship that started it all, though I didn't get it released before my computer crash incident last Spring. I think I have rebuilt it even better than the original. Mantis was to be the largest of the lot, but I think it is only slightly bigger than GreenHornet. All of this series of ships have at least two ball turrets, and tend to be quick, and fast. They are mainly escort ships, but the bigger ones could be used for trader ships as well. I hope those who download this release will enjoy the ships, even if they are only used as background ships.

As with your previous ship, the Diamond, I really like the shape you give your ship hulls, very imaginative
The mantis looks very evil indeed! Nice work again mandoman!

Thanks, Geraldine. I'm happy to hear you like the designs.

Now THAT's a hunter's ship.

Mantis looks like Shadow's ship from B5

Is that Babylon 5? I never got to watch that show, which made me irritated, as they didn't air it on any stations I could get. I wonder if they are running it on the SyFy channel at some time slot. Gonna have to look that up.

Like so OSH? I would be very afraid to face one of these in my clapped out Cobbie 3

And mandoman, here is a little website I got the image from http://www.netcore.fi/pekkas/b5/b5image.htm

That's a ship???

The other ships on B5 look really cool, though. That ship you posted looks like a spider I stepped on the other day.

The Shadow ships were supposed to look like a cross between a spider and something from Hell!

Yeah, I'd agree with that.

In fact, they were ships from hell, IIRC. They could slice through a cruiser like it was made of butter. A bit like the Borg only a lot faster. Instant death. NOT a ship I would like to come across in the Ooniverse.

DredgerMan, your new avatar is.......disturbing, and hilarious, LOL!!!

You think so?
Hmmmmmm .........
