Tomsche Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Category C for the second challenge of Andromeda`s Gates - Unseen Menace is to build the interior from somewhere on a spaceship, in minifig scale and with your character present. So I went for the interior of a lab quarters, which I could tie in nicely to my Marden moc I did a few months ago, when I was (as befitting an Ice Planeteer) the first of the corporation to set foot on the icy neighbour of our homeworld. But then my own stupidity hit me, as I reread the rules and saw it had to be a minimum of 12x12 studs builds, and I have no time at all this week anymore to build something else or to expand on this vignette, so instead I have placed it as a `regular` weekly build again on Marden. Considering I`m having not much time at the moment to build for AG anyways and get involved in any tactics the corporation is working out currently, I guess that the few builds I will be doing will be set on this icy planet anyways, since I feel most `at home` to work in that direction and keep in touch with my sig-fig anyways. *** Start Log *** Augustali 10th, AD 3815 Thesseus B. Von Geekington reporting As I sit here reviewing the logs from the droid ICE-001 and crosscompare them to the sample of the strange crustalized water he brought along, I noticed an odd chemical reaction in the frozen liquid. For some unbeknownst reason, this water is radiating an inner heat signal, while remaining in an only slowly thawing state of being frozen hard. While obviously not permafrost, I guess that due to the special artic conditions of the planet below, even though it orbits close to the system`s sun, there is a certain `fuelling process` going on in it`s molecules. I am considering and analyzing this phenomena now, and we remain in orbit above Marden until this is cleared out, but as far as I can hypothesise, this might mean these water crystals might actually be an intresting new source of fuel for spatial drives. If we can develop a way to have them incorporated into a stardrive engine and regulate the process of thawning to increase or decrease the amount of energy these crystals punch out. *** End Log *** Quote
WickNole Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Is it a Challenge 2 or a weekly build? If challenge 2, then: Category C – A peek insideWhat maybe even more interesting than the colossal appearance of the ship is the interior, control rooms tight multiple screens, captains quarters or even a docking bay for your swarm. Show the inside of your vessel, a part of it or just a single room. Restrictions: Minimum size of 12 x 12 studs. Quote

Didn`t say challenge or anything in the topic now did it ;-) Is it a Challenge 2 or a weekly build? If challenge 2, then: Quote
Tomsche Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 My thoughts exactly when I had written up the whole build post, and went for a quick check just what needed to be in the topic title hehehe Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 To quote myself Didn`t say challenge or anything in the topic now did it ;-) Yeah but you missed the deadline for weekly build by 4 minutes... Guess I'll make an exception... Quote
Tomsche Posted August 10, 2015 Author Posted August 10, 2015 That`s up to you Bob, highly appreciated but not life threatening I wans`t really paying attention to the clock when I posted it so wether it`s for this or next week is the same for me Quote
LittleJohn Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Great little build! I really like the floor and the window is nice too Quote
shmails Posted August 10, 2015 Posted August 10, 2015 Great little build! I really like the floor and the window is nice too I second this, nice build! Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Nice simple build! I like the story too! Always good to see science at work in AG! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
robuko Posted August 12, 2015 Posted August 12, 2015 Nice ice planet scene, and I like the idea of radioactive ice power. Heavy water? Quote
