I love it when the Imperial Navy drops into 40k, nothing can ruin a guys day faster than a spaceship the size of a football stadium playing for the other guys team.

Its scary big! its that bloody great box in the middle that does it :'( . Actually causes a bit of a dilemna with the stabilisers in that they dont extend beyond the pod currently. Not quite sure whether to extend them or just live with it.

Well, you will put a bloody big box in the middle of it!

I see what you mean about the stabilisers. Will look a bit odd like that, but it's your insanity mate!

I'll give it some thought. I could always claim its carrying the larges capacity pod possible for this class of ship, sounds like a bit of a cop out though doesnt it?

Not if you connected the upright "wings" using telecopit tubing from the horizontals. ie, capeable of extending FOR larger capacity pods?

the Idea has merit. Like that, its exactly the kind of mechanical gizmo that would be used. Hmm ok need to look into that.

Some great hydraulic arms to carry that weight. Maybe the ship should be able to carry that stuff around, but it will be slow and easily attacked, so you need some defense flyer's :)

Hi there Old Guard..

My same question as sent to Digits......

Just wondering if any progress has been made on this beauty.. or has production ceased and the vessel left abandoned on the stocks..

Will the ship rust slowly away or has the planet been adandoned due to alien threats..

Would love to see further progress.. but realise other projects can be quite distracting..

Best wishes,


Carl

I dont intend to honour the post above with a reply on the basis that my dad is bigger than yours.

Someones takinga peak so now is as good atime as ever to announce that in line with progress on the digitalis the Pequod has also had some further work done on her. I'd like to say that its a huge leap forward but that would be a Grizz. :ermm: ( Yes I have decided to substitute the word Grizz for 'lies', 'exageration' , 'Bovine excrement' and indeed any other word that Vexes me! :D I have given a name to my pain!)
No the progress is small and indeed a couple of backward steps have had to be taken on the cargo hold and practical decisions made. However I do hope to be able to get a few piccies up in the not too distant future to show you whats going on :)
