    I'm working on this floating lab POI for a while. When I started I wanted to make something small, then growth to this massive structure. The interiors still take a good bit of time to shape and furnish.

    Today in Empyrion, I was obsessing the whole day over an upcoming, yet unnamed SV for the Dreschner Corporation's Wyvern -fleet. She is going to be a rather large SV, biggest I've made so far, and to be having a purpose of maintaining a work crew of 8 for a long duration missions, be them raiding POI's, mining or exploring a planet. Technically it even has two floors to it :rolleyes:

    I did combine a whole lot of cool ideas that I've seen done in various other designs and I do admit that a lot of the functional elements and inspiration I did take from @rainyday creations. I was really impressed by the "combat mode" he did previously with his HV design, PSI PHT-7 Routa. So I wanted to do the cockpit in a similar fashion but adapted for SV design. Idea is to have clear visibility from the cockpit having it in casual mode, but engaging the combat mode, there would be shutters that covers the windows to create extra layer of protection. I had to redesign the cockpit 5 times to make it right so I would be finally satisfied with it!


    Casual mode on:

    Combat mode engaged:

    Gosh I love these new thrusters

    Although I threw in most of the generators, fuel, oxygen and RCS's to the backside of the ship, I did cluster some of each all around the ship for couple reasons: To prevent massive chain explosions in an event of a breach, and ensure the functionality of the ship under extreme conditions. So far the field tests have been proven that this ship can limp out of after 80 rockets and 200 plasma rounds fired upon it randomly. Although that was a serious beating it took, it was still functional, yet not life sustaining in hostile climate.

    So here I was, about to go head out, zooming along in an HV set at 1.6m and in first person view. I head out the door and...

    Your work is so distinctive that I know when something is yours just by seeing the pic.

    Pretty much twice the size and one block higher than the previous one. Also just shy of 12 mins build time so yay!

    Thank you very much. I try to make the inside interesting to play. I'm currently figuring out secrets, traps, cunning sentry turrets. ;)

    Nice smooth lines and integration of the new thrusters. It gives the impression of a CV-sized ship. Like!

    Cleanup on aisle 2...3...4...
    The worst part is that it's going to eat your crops and then decorate.

    OK @StyleBBQ , you wanted more dropship, so I took some pics as we headed out to re-explore Wetia... that's our starter planet, it's all opaque now- we never fully explored it before the infamous base glitch sent us packing...

    *The vids at the local tavern all fizzle in a multi-colored array*

    *The image then transitions to a 4-limbed mammalian race with two slightly grey eyes set on two stalks above a larger mass*

    "We come to you live from the head news desk at the Galactic News Network. This just in; the planet Caleb is experiencing a small environmental crisis in the form of a lone colonist from the newly-arrived-in-Andromeda Terran species apparently having lost their mind over an indigenous non-sentient species not conforming to their notions of bodily disposal.

    *in the background can be seen a vid with a Terran colonist with a medium armored space suit, torn and hanging in places, hair disheveled, a blazing pulse rifle in one hand with the other, somewhat bloody, arm hanging loose, and a bit of spittle oozing from the corner if the mouth*

    "You HAD to do it there.... *brakka* THERE! You could *brakka* not have chosen *Brakka* *brakka* a bush or a tree *Brakka* I mean, its not like they ARE EVERYWHERE...!!!" *brakka* *brakka* *brakka*

    *The anchor holds up one appendage to a smallish slit with a bit of circuitry on the side of one of the eye stalks*

    " I am not being told that animal relief and rescue efforts are underway. Can nothing be done about these lunatic Terrans?

    The planet has been placed under quarantine by the Local Zirax Prefect until further notice."
