SpacerSteve Posted June 14, 2015 There was plenty to see and do on Yallorn II. MANTIS assigned me two new interns this week so I let them do the exploration this week. The weather is too nice on Yallorn II. This week I will take a break from exploring and talk about my ship, The Stalker. The M087-Stalker was designed by M.A.T.I.S. for a special forces and spying role. Replacing speed and weapons systems for stealth and maneuverability. It has become a favorite among M.A.N.T.I.S. explorers. Originally the cargo area was used for a crew of two special forces explorers often use the space to carry all the equipment needed to set up camp. The VTOL abilities are another reason for its increased usage among M.A.N.T.I.S. explorers. When you are out exploring the wilderness it is nice to have the ability to safely land in a rugged area.

NuckElBerg Posted June 15, 2015 Great looking spaceship! Love the design and rotatability (is that a word? )! (Also, just FYI, the deadline was 1 hour ago, 47 minutes before you posted your build. I don't think that will be a problem (the judges are usually pretty nice when it comes to these things ), but it can be nice to remember for the future. ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SpacerSteve Posted June 15, 2015 Ruh Roh! thanks for the heads up Operative Q. I thought the deadline was at midnight. Oops! My bad. May the judges have mercy on my soul lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NuckElBerg Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) Well, it is midnight, but it is midnight GMT. ;) (Not like the challenge builds, which has a deadline "as long as it is [date] anywhere in the world") You'll probably be fine though, no worries! :) Edited June 15, 2015 by NuckElBerg Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
