It was a pleasure!

Observing strong pirate activity, Space Command decided to establish a military branch -for the first time in Lego Classic Space Area! Governour Glorious Gertrud CommSpecialist SpaceMedic (please disregard reflections of my living room.. ;-) Heavy Assault Marine Standard Imperial Marines

The most feared Pirates in this sector are called Black Angels and are a gang of females, mostly former soldiers, sailors and bounty hunters... Harpye Hannah, Pirate Captain. Over 200 confirmed kills. Silent Sabine. Master Pilot. Was never catched by Space Police. PunkPink. Chief engineer. Red Dead. Former Marine. Boarding specialist. Hata Mary. Undercover Specialist. Fast Lizzy. Weapons Specialist

41c was finally attacked and overrun by galactic Pirates. All of the crew members died, were captured or sold to traveling alien armadas for lunch or entertainment. Here are some of the tragic fates : Lunchtime! The Pirates are using 41c to hide their enourmos treasure of Goldtitanium: ... and to party in between the raids: They ripped of the old landing pad and installed an 200 mt Fusion Cannon "Singing Elfriede" from an old Imperial Dreadnought. They are sending fake distress signals and if a spaceship responds to, it will be shoot down... Capt'n Redbeard on the bridge... Elfriede is reloaded. 2 Pete "NoNeck" is transporting ammo to feed Elfriede - which is a hungry beast... For close combat, a Friz Gun was put on the jet coaster:

Working on it ;-) Meanwhile:

Space Station 41c. An older modell if the standard space station, but still in good shape. It was a slow solar day at 41c. Nothing seems to disturb the daily routines. The Fusion reactor ran smoothly, radiation levels like usual. Alpha Black One with the ExoUnit taking out the trash. Blue One having a short nap... Orange One enjoying the old transportation system... (Choo-Choo..) Nobody expected the terror of violence, unlawfullness and unlimited creativity that would hit 41c in the next rotation - be prepared!

Hello! I'm fine with entering a piratefied space station as Cat C, though I think if you take 21322 as an example, a wrecked spacestation would also be applicable for Cat B. So its ok to post the Space Station before the arrival of the pirates as WIP? " The original set must be recognizable, with key features, shapes or functionnalities for example" In my opinion this puts a too strong restriction on the creativity. Does that include a piece count? Most islands and outposts in the classic series have just 100-300 parts... I interpreted Cat B to built a MOC as to take the idea óf a classic pirate set (a pirate hideout, a pirate or imperial battleship, etc.) and transfer it into a space theme. Taking 10210 for example: Key features: A propulsion system (sails) - ok, Solar sails, I got it. 4-8 Cannons - no problem. A bridge, a lookout, a kitchen, Captains Room - also no problem Shape: A spaceship can't have the shape of a sail ship if, by any means this moc should make sense at all. Big problem. Functionnality: Firing Cannons, Anchor whinch, crane, Decks can be opened. Somehow solveable. So if I fullfill 1) and 3) but fail at 2) - would this be within the rules?

Gentlemen, my plan is to build a modern version of a ground space station like 6970 and then to "piratify" it (think of 6253). So I just finished the space station - showing a standard space station, peaceful and stylish. They just don't know what will happen ... My question - can I post this moc as a) seperate MOC with its own topic in the space forum outside this competition b) start a [SPC-Cat B] - Topic as a WIP Moc - but with expected numerous modifications after the pirates arrived c) Don't show it at all....

Nice use of colours!

Nice Tie!!!

Thx a lot. You are right, 90 degrees would be better - but the changes in construction for that detail would be enormous, so I skipped it... ;-)

Azure Squadron main task at thsi time ist the development and specification of a new fighter class, experiencing that the fleet of T65 X-Wing is aging, the costs of an T70 are enormous and in general the tactical landscape has changed: Much more deep space patrol and recon is need - with the abilitiy to detect enemies very early, engage bigger starships with a heavy blow and the to escape safely. 20231025_134208 by Jan Südmersen, auf Flickr J9 took some of their friends from CorSec with her as she signed in at the New Repbulic Starfleet: Pilot Lieutenant Feli Ardana, a stepbrother of Iolo Ardana, Chief Mechanic Myles Calamy and Master Engineer Sally Ride. 20231025_134112 by Jan Südmersen, auf Flickr After some remote test flights with a top secret new heavy fighter Sally Ride is instructing J9 and Feli for their first manned test flight. 20231025_134443 by Jan Südmersen, auf Flickr

Great build! I love the flower decorations on the moon. I will need those species in my room also, because I always forget to water them ;-)
