mrcp6d Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 (edited) Location: H03 - Kaalin Tags: Spaceship, Military, Vehicle --Weekly Explorer's Transmission-- --Log of Eagle-Eye Silver-- --24 Janurali 3816-- Given the recent breakdown in relations between the other two corporations, Octan Corp. has begun preparing for armed conflict. The OFI-204b Eagle IV I’ve been provided with is a mature design built by the mostly automated Octan Corp. factories. Even though it’s the natural evolution of the “200 Series” (starting with the now retired OFI-200 SuperHawk), the Eagle remains a state-of-the-art interceptor featuring some of the best of Octan Corp.’s engineering. My b-model comes equipped with 2 super high-cycle rate, long-range laser cannons as the main armament. These guns and their supporting hardware generate so much heat that each of their dedicated nacelles are crammed with not just the weapons but also very large heat exchangers to aid the liquid-cooled mechanisms. On the wingtips are secondary repeating cannons that the engineers tell me are for better for dogfights, which is interesting since the Eagle IV is optimized for the interceptor role… and therefore turns like one of those 20th century Mack trucks in the Octan museum! Oh well, if enemy fighters get behind me, I’ll just put on the jets—literally. The engines on this ship are crazy. I should be able outrun pretty much any standard ship in any of the three fleets with this thing! --End-- So, I had intended this to be an entry for Novvember, but it stayed at about 80% complete until this afternoon. Hopefully I'll crank some more AG stuff out soon! More on Flickr. C&C appreciated! Edited January 26, 2016 by mrcp6d Quote
mediumsnowman Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Great spaceship! It looks similarly sleek and beefy at the same time. The guns on the wingtips are nice details too. Quote
StarHawk3 Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Nice ship. Looks nice and tough. I like how you did the inlets on the side pods. I do wish there were a few more views of it though. Quote
Isundir Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Sweet ship, looks like a powerful fighter. Quote
Kodan Black Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Welcome back! I really like the nacelles and all you have going on with detailing. Any other pics you took of the side/back? Quote
Kai NRG Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Very nice ship! The greebling is great, and this definitely looks like one fighter Kawashita and MANTIS had better stay far away from! Quote
EpsilonEta Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I agree, it's a cool ship but I'd love to see more pictures (especialy as I will be judging it) I will add the Spaceship tag (as that one is obvius) but in the future (all of) you will need to remember them or you don't get bonuses. Quote
LucasLaughing Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 Sweet ride! You've got a lot of really nice SNOT building going on, and I'm always a fan of small, realistic details like the "headlights" on the wing. IMO, the nose seems a little too blunt, especially compared to the sleek lines on the rest of the ship, but that's just a minor complaint - overall this is excellent! Quote
Graham Gidman Posted January 25, 2016 Posted January 25, 2016 I love how this looks both sleek and bulky at the same time. Really awesome! Quote
mrcp6d Posted January 26, 2016 Author Posted January 26, 2016 Great spaceship! It looks similarly sleek and beefy at the same time. The guns on the wingtips are nice details too. Thanks medium, the beefiness was unintentional at the start. One of those things that just sort of happened. Nice ship. Looks nice and tough. I like how you did the inlets on the side pods. I do wish there were a few more views of it though. The little inlets are my favorite detail on this MOC too. Sweet ship, looks like a powerful fighter. Thanks man. Welcome back! I really like the nacelles and all you have going on with detailing. Any other pics you took of the side/back? Thanks Kodan--third engine in the back now on Flickr. Very nice ship! The greebling is great, and this definitely looks like one fighter Kawashita and MANTIS had better stay far away from! Thanks Kai! Darn right I agree, it's a cool ship but I'd love to see more pictures (especialy as I will be judging it) I will add the Spaceship tag (as that one is obvius) but in the future (all of) you will need to remember them or you don't get bonuses. Yeah, I've been away for a while and missed the tags. Fixed now! I uploaded another pic today too, and hopefully more tomorrow. Sweet ride!

Yeah, I'm not so happy with the center section and the nose. I love how this looks both sleek and bulky at the same time. Really awesome! Thanks Graham! Quote
Kodan Black Posted January 26, 2016 Posted January 26, 2016 I'm glad you posted the picture of the back since there is a lot going on that isn't visible from the front shot! Quote
SpacerSteve Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 You build some awesome stuff. This ship is great. The detail is excellent. I'm glad to see the conflict brought you back to AG. Quote
Andromedas Gates Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 The judges awarded you 5 points. Quote
LegoPercyJ Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 That is a sleek ship! I love the use of slopes. :thumbup: Quote
