    Hey Kaeser,

    here is it, but it is still "naked". Quasi the raw version. That is the reason for the "X" in the name. "a1" means variant one. (In german "Ausfertigung 1) :)

    Actually it just has one fuel tank, one constructor, one oxygen station and one oxygen tank and no arming. But variant two is in progress with more equipment ;)


    I made a tiny video so that you can get a impression about the Ares.​

    That is one crazy little droid .or whatever it is.

    Finally had to shoot it and put it out of it's misery after it got stuck in a small pool.

    Next I think I find a box canyon someplace and let lose a whole herd of them and see how they interact, just hope they don't join up and come after me for shooting the first one. :)

    I was having fun with your little toy using it for target practice to dial in my weapons placement to align with the crosshairs a bit better. I released about a dozen all at the same time to see what would happen. :)

    I was hoping they would make a nice tiny moving target I could practice my aim on but unfortunately they tend to find a spot to get stuck in way too fast.

    I think I'm going to make a modified version with the fuel tanks up the center so that there are fewer leftover pieces to clean up when I'm done with them. Right now I tend to cut them in half or similar and have to go back and remove the left overs. On the other hand it gives me practice sniping with my hand weapons so it all works out in the end.

    Thank you for the designs, I just love learning new things from another's hard work.

    My favorite is the "Escape Pod version X", it has a very good balance of small target size and long range fire power in a very easy to fly package.

    I did make a couple of changes (and repainted, underside too ).

    First I added a second fuel tank just behind the first for better range, hard to see in the picture but it's just behind the first one behind the 1/4 round and the first storage box.

    Second I added another 1/4 round in front of the first fuel tank, gives just a pit of protection and still allows me to fill both tanks between the 2 1/4 round blocks (one up and one down in orientation).

    Last bit was I needed a light so placed one between the pulse lasers (hate that CSS feeling).

    I present the updated Bumble Pod X
    View attachment 2046

    Love this little bumble bee, fast nimble and easy to fly with good forward armor (for it's size).

    I thought about adding some gatling guns for close work, but if you don't need to be close, why bother. Besides I didn't want to mess up the current look with something I didn't really need.

    Enjoy (can't wait to see what happens to this little lady next)

    Thanks :)

    With such a limited pallet of colors to chose from it's hard to come up with something interesting.

    I had a design I wanted to call the Purple People Eater, but with out purple (or people) it's hard to get inspired to complete it.

    Thanks. Those fleet was constructed for that base named Zentum. It could be transformed into ship in smaller version Xentum (with single tower) by horisontal rotation and hangar modification.
    After I'll join your work with Bengal Carrier o/
    It looks beutiful because I sick of all those star destroyers with ugly minecraft's style - hate them.

    This ship is fantastic! It reminds me of an F4 Corsair from WW2.

    Here's my little Combat Explorer MK 1. Don't let you get fooled by the name Combat too much. It's basically just a small exploration shuttle for 3 persons with the pilot included. It has 2 pulse lasers, 2 rocket launchers, 2 rcs units and 1 forward light.

    It comes with the Patch 3 automatic door and provides some interior room with constructor, fridge, o² station and 3 containers. You can enter the cockpit and passenger cabins from inside the ship. The automatic door has two flares to better spot it in space and the interior has a light.

    The blueprint has the extension txt in the file name. You have to delete the .txt but I couldn't upload it otherwise.
