Location: F03 - Forring Tags: Spaceship Sector F03, onboard the OCS Variate, in orbit over Forring: Director Fields: Are you sure he's coming, Bob? In my experience, these Special Forces guys don't have much regard for scheduling. Bob: He'll be here. He always is. Hasn't missed a week of work since we began our operations in the Andromeda galaxy. Director Fields: Impressive... most impressive. Jebediah: My apologies for being late. I got hung up with some idiot in IT who couldn't figure out how to transfer my credits from last weeks training exercise. Bob: Don't worry abou- Director Fields: *clears his throat* Let's get down to business. Mr. O'Reilly, I am Director Fields and I am the head of Octans Internal Affairs division. Are you familiar with Dr. Danielle Long and Project Icarus? Jebediah: *thinks for a moment* No... I know Dr. Long, but I've never heard of Project Icarus. Director Fields: Allow me to enlighten you. Director Fields: Several moths ago, she recovered a peculiar device within an ancient facility on Greater Drigo. After her first round of testing was approved, we heard nothing out of her. She didn't submit any lab reports and corporate was left completely in the dark as to the state of Project Icarus. There were rumors that an employee was killed, but nobody could ever prove it. Somehow she managed to disconnect almost all surveillance systems to the ejectable labs on the Axle. The snapshot on the screen is all we were able to get, and its rather puzzling. The board of directors considered cutting her funding, but we decided to instead send a team to the Axle to find out what she was up to and what Project Icarus entailed. When we got there, Dr. Long, the device, and her lab team had vanished, leaving no trace of her activities. Quite frankly, we're pissed. And that's where you come in. Jebediah: I see. You want to find Dr. Long. Director Fields: Yes. Here's everything we have on her and Project Icarus. Admittedly its not much. She's covered her tracks and history well. Jebediah: Don't worry Director. I'll find her. Director Fields: Good luck. *later, when Jebediah has left* Director Fields: Do you think this will work? Bob: I hope so. Disclaimer: I haven't been in contact with DLL and I have no idea where he is or what happened to him. I just hope he's OK. This story arc should offer some sort of in-universe explanation for his mysterious disappearance. If you have any questions about the story, just ask, it could be a bit confusing if you haven't read all the builds before this. C&C welcome.

Location: E02 Jurin II Tags: Land Vehicle, Civil Building, Spying Continued from part one here. - Hawk: HQ, the base seems to have seen some sort of fighting. There was no sign from out side. Whomever did this must have been good. HQ: Go to that terminal over there and override the security systems. - HQ: Alright Hawk, the upload is complete. We have basic door controls, but any data will take a bit longer to retrieve. While we do that, there is a room that is showing abnormally high energy consumption. We would like you to investigate further. Hawk: Sure thing. Point me in the right direction. - HQ: just follow the opening blast doors. - Hawk: Any idea what happened here? HQ: We're still working on it. Just focus on the mission. - Mysterious Scientist: Welcome MANTIS drone to my lab. Hawk: HQ what is going on here? He shouldn't be able to see me. Mysterious Scientist: What is going on here is I can see in many different spectrums that a normal human cannot due to the gifts they gave me. My hearing is also enhanced many times. Worker 1: Don't listen to him!!! Mysterious Scientist: Silence! There is no need for violence. Let me introduce myself, I am Sebastion Osmium. I have set this lab up with the goal of creating the perfect subjects. Hawk: I am beginning to see where this is going. What is with these two? Worker2: Don't let him turn us into one of them... Sebastion: Silence! These two will become my next subjects. Octan needed more troops for their war effort, but when they saw my plan, they cut all of my funding. Fortunately for me, the Zoids were more then willing to hear what I had to say…... HQ: High command has given the green light to eliminate the scientist. There will be a bomber wing incoming so I suggest you move fast. Hawk: Well that escalated quickly! - Sebastion: Gah!!! - Worker1: Thanks Worker2: Yeah thanks. I thought we were done for. HQ: Just got access to all security cams. You have a group of hostile contacts incoming. The route to your speeder is cut off. You need to find a new way out. Hawk: Are there any transports nearby? Worker1: My hover tanker is on the South Dock. if we could get to it I could drive us out of here. HQ: Cams are showing that the route is clear to the south dock. I will try to keep them off of you, but there isn't much time. - Sebastion: All Zoids, they are going to the south dock! I want them all alive! - Hawk: They are almost on us. Can't this thing go any faster?! Worker1: I'm pushing it as fast as I can!!! HQ: Bombers are incoming. A few extra picture under the tag Thanks for looking. Quite a bit of dialogue in this one and its a lot longer then i normally do. C&C welcomed.

Location: E02-Jurin II Tags: Building, Vehicle, Piracy, Spying Job: Explorer After a long vacation, MANTIS had another mission for me. Un-like most of my previous missions, this one involved infiltrating an Octan base and gathering information about a chemical that accelerated plant growth. I was thrilled to find that two of my good friends, Isaac Redsyn and Massi Editoro, were also on the same mission, as well as a MANTIS commo. Isaac was of course assigned to be the driver, which was to be expected. What wasn't expected was the vehicle he would be piloting... An Octan hoverplane. So, you're sure you know how to drive one of these things? Of course I do! I've driven tons of rigs! ... Apparently not enough though. Could you get this thing right side up for once?! I'm trying, I'm trying, but it keeps going every which way! Where are the brakes on this anyways? Hoverplanes don't have br- Massi to helicopter, are you guys ready up there? We might be, if Isaac knew how to drive this... Almost, we're getting into position. Stand by for signal. Roger. In position, proceed with distraction. Yes sir! Here you go little plants, drink up! Go, go go! What was that?! I've got it! Go up, go up! Mission accomplished, good job everyone. Now to take it back to the lab for the scientists to test and analyze. A few more shots of the build: More pictures here: Link It was good to do another AG build, after so many castle builds. C&C welcome!

Location: F03 Forring Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // After last week's efforts to better refine our abilities to find Awesomnium we received orders to head over to Forring to assist in the search for Awesomnium there. I obtained one of our "area defense" space drones and removed all of the missiles and other weaponry. I swapped in side scan radar, a front mounted ground penetrating radar and other scanning equipment. These drones typically operate just outside the atmosphere in space waiting for targets, so having it operate at that altitude and scanning for signs of Awesomnium wasn't going to be a problem. Dr. Allison and I headed out to a small Octan building on the planet where we could best analyze data and alter the flight path of the drone. She had some new mathematical models she wanted to try out to see if they would be more efficient in finding metals. I was certainly happy to have the assistance as the corporation can use all the help it can get in our current conflict with the warriors of MANTIS. Given our state of affairs with them and that Forring is a MANTIS controlled planet I was happy that ED-208 was available to accompany us to the planet's surface. I guess he had properly helped Sue with some sort of "back door adjustment" and she needed several days of rest. I'm not sure what they were adjusting the back door to, but it must have required a lot of work if Sue needed a few days to recover! ED-208 had found a MANTIS mech on Jurin II last week and we had brought it with us. He was in the process of getting it in proper working order and upgrading it when we had to ship out. It wasn't quite done, but it was fully functional and armed. I didn't expect we would encounter heavy resistance since we were going to a remote Octan base, but having some firepower was a relief. He had managed to remove a lot of the human controls and better integrate it with his own robotic form to make the responsiveness much better. It was a marvel to see it operate as an extension of his own body! Hopefully Dr. Allison's models prove beneficial and we are able to refine our capabilities to find Awesomnium. It was good to be back working with drones again as that is my primary speciality. I think that Dr. Allison is even becoming a bit more comfortable in the field now, though she did seem to want me to go into the Octan building with her while ED-208 maintained watch. She said she had something to show me, but I told her that we would lose the signal to the drone from inside the building and that she should bring it out to me and show me outside. I guess it wasn't anything that important as she said: "Ugh, never mind. I should just show ED-208 like Sue!" Extra Pics: ED-208's mech has legs that swing and the part below the knee can twist 360. My first real attempt at a minifig scale mech. Also the gun traverses and can point up and down. The whole thing managed to be pretty easy to balance despite making it up as I went.

Location: Forrin - F03 Tags: Land Vehicle, Engineering Previously: - The Return Zaael found John Hannibal at the secret hideout of the Jurinians. The CEO was occupied trying on dresses, so John took the responsibility to welcome Zaael back. John and Z shook hands and John brought Z up to speed about the recent developments, strategic plans and other important, classified, information. John told Z Octan was planning something on Forring for which a lot of mechs are going to be needed. Zaael's most pressing task was to scavenge Jurin II for useful mech parts and take them to Forring to build mechs for the other Octan members. After their meeting John set course to Forring and Zaael made his way back to his shuttle where he had the perfect speeder for this scavenge hunt: The OC.tr0m, a heavy duty speeder. After collecting loads of useful parts and loading up the shuttle Zaael set course to Forring. Having arrived there Z took his speeder and made his way to the Octan base on F03. There he unloaded the speeder and started building the first mechs for the battle to come.

Location: E02 Tags: Civil, Building, Vehicle, Land Vehicle Please note that the large speeder is reused, but the jungle foliage is new. When we last saw Guy, he was stuck in his entry way with a pimped speeder that didn't fit through the door. That would be the door to this house: Evidently Octan pays its executives a nice salary, if Guy can afford a town house in Farmolis. Now, let's see what Guy is busy doing! You know, I think I have a Shrink Ray around here somewhere... aha! So cute! Now, where's that UnShrink Ray? I guess I should have pulled out a little farther first... Well, I'm off! Finally, I'm back in buisness on E02! Now I wonder what that secret mission they had for me was... To be continued! Been wanting to build a house in this style for a long time - also been wanting to use that fence technique - so I killed two birds with one stone with this build!

Location: Jurin II - E02 Tags: Land vehicle Priorities changed, time slots changed and the space travelling became less interesting as other interests came to be. An 8-months pregnant wife, new house, a relative in a galaxy far far away, a different job. Life changed. Zaael was just settling in his new house, new life, when the distress signal came. John Hannibal reached out to the old Octan members. MANTIS has betrayed Octan, in the upper regions of the Gates, while Kawashita backstabbed them in the lower belt. Octan took an arrow to the knee, but won't give up and needs every help they can get to keep on fighting and defend what they have worked so hard for to get. Zaael knew what he had to do as soon as John's call came in. Leave the wife, the new life, for a while and pick up the screwdrivers and cogwrenches, for this is going to be a tough fight and Octan can use all the help they can get. He said his goodbyes and promised to return as soon as the little one is ready to come into our universe. Big Z set course to Jurin II to meet up with John, Pombe and the others and hear first hand what is to be expected of him. More pics:

Location: E02 - Jurin II Tags: Exploration, Spaceship, Land Vehicle, Civil Building Dramatis Personae: Previously: http://www.eurobrick...howtopic=120692 Currently, on Jurin II.... Why are we in this jungle again? And why didn't we bring any weapons? HOLY AVOCADO, THERE'S AN ALIEN RIGHT THERE AND WE HAVE NO WEAPONS!!! Calm down, Eshey. First, that alien is harmless. Second, I agreed to meet him unarmed. Anyways, this is the location, he should be here soon. Who will be here soon? Sir! A M.A.N.T.I.S. ground vehicle is approaching your location! Should I waste it? No, Sue, stand down. That's our contact. Return to the Shaft, Eshey and I'll be fine. Copy that, sir. See you back aboard. This must be him now. Greetings, Pombe. We've communicated through secret channels, but let me introduce myself in person. I'm Balthazar von Habibi, vice president of M.A.N.T.I.S. ultra-super-secret operations. Nice to finally meet you in person, Balthazar. Of course, I'm Pombe, and this is my associate, Eshey Reeshia Kolai. Nice to meet you, Mr. von Habibi. Um...how did you get out of your vehicle? It has no visible means of entry or exit. You'll have to excuse my associate, Balthazar. She's Octan's lowest performing employee. Not at all, Pombe. In fact, I commend you for bringing her along to expose her to some real company work. Most corporate higher ups only spend time and effort on their superstars. I think only excellent leaders bother with the hopelessly useless. Anyways, let's get down to business. I need to confirm things that I've heard about your employees. Interesting things...about how they treat the local peoples here in Andromeda...this is the type of thing that could change how Octan does business with M.A.N.T.I.S.. Because of the veracity of these rumors, I needed to keep this communication traceless, which is why I wanted to meet here like this. Well...everyone knows that M.A.N.T.I.S. has a rather unsavory reputation. It's something of a public relations and marketing failure, unfortunately. Our employees behave no differently than yours or Kawashita's. We are actively working to present a kinder, friendlier M.A.N.T.I.S. to the public. I'm sure these rumors you've heard are a result of a false perception of us and are probably overblown. No, Balthazar. I've heard firsthand from trusted Octan employees that...M.A.N.T.I.S. employees are...drapers. Wait, that's not what.... Sigh...I guess the secret's out. What?! Yes, it's a closely guarded M.A.N.T.I.S. secret. Our corporate culture promotes a love of drapery, and all M.A.N.T.I.S. employees are required to undergo a drapery short course at the beginning of their employment. In fact, our drapes are the most beautiful and the highest quality anywhere, and we take great pride in them. I see, the rumor is true then. It is. Then I want to place a very large order for drapes. Octan has a lot of windows. I'm lost. You're right, she's a lousy employee. However, I am happy to fulfill your order for drapes. Come, climb in. I'll take you somewhere I think you'll like. How did we get in here? There are no doors! See, we have a hidden drape factory here on Jurin II. It's hidden inside this cave up ahead. Clever. No one would think to look in a cave for a drape factory. Then I trust that you will not reveal our secret location here. Of course. Welcome to the show room. You can see for yourself our latest line of drapes. What beautiful dresses! Yes, Ms. Kolai. We drape women as well as windows. Perfect, then I would like to make a large order of dresses, as well. This will be a personal purchase, however, unlike the drapes for windows. As for the drapes, it is vital that the drapes match the carpet. Of course! The drapes must always match the carpet. But...your hair is green.... And yes, my drapes do match my carpet. You must show me sometime. It would be my pleasure. I...wow...um...wait...why can I see the sky and the clouds through the windows? Aren't we in a cave? Your failure to observe astounds, Ms. Kolai. These are just projected images to best present the drapes to potential customers. I'll be sure to put your name on M.A.N.T.I.S.'s do not hire list. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Meanwhile.... There are too many buckets to choose from! Which one should my brother kick? NOTE TO JUDGES: The above build is recycled. Maybe just to cover our bases, we should just have him kick all of them. That's a good idea, Scooter. Comments and criticisms are all welcome!

Location: E02 Jurin II Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // As the corporation continues to try and protect itself I was transferred from the OCS Belle Homme over to our newest battleship the OCS Excelsior. Most people seem to refer to it as the OCS Excessive. I guess when CEO pombe decided to have it built his explanation was: "Everyone knows that bigger is better. Therefore biggest is best." It produces enough electricity to power the main cities on Farmolis. It produces enough thrust to actually impact planetary rotation. And it has enough weaponry to bombard a planet into being devoid of life. Fortunately with typical Octan efficiency we've automated most functions and have robots do the majority of the work, so despite being the size of a small moon it can be crewed by as few as 10 Octan employees! One of the Weapons Engineers told me they had to upgrade the armor and anchor points of the main triple turret as it initially fired with enough power to actually buckle the plating around it and they had a pressure leak. He said it was lucky our corporation is so invested in robots as they lost a couple robots but no human lives! Once again CEO pombe tasked ED-208 with our protection on Jurin II. He needed Dr. Allison and myself to head down to the planet for some analysis of some rock chunks to help refine the search for Awesomnium. On the shuttle down to the planet I was temporarily lulled into seeing a dump truck without realizing the scale. It was only once I had figured out that the things next to the dump truck were buildings I recognized the sheer scale of the vehicle! It was absolutely enormous. One of Octan's subsidiary companies apparently made it and it was so massive that they end up breaking it down into many components just to transport it from planet to planet. Once on the surface we made our way to the mining outpost and got to work. ED-208 was ever vigilant on guard while Dr. Allison started her analysis. I decided to get my hands a bit dirty and do a more personal review. I noticed there were different deposits within the sample and even differing qualities of the Awesomnium present. While I'm not a geologist by training, I did find it interesting work. The mining robots we saw were brand new, clearly the corporation values the resources here. I will admit the robots are kind of annoying as every time you talk to them they say "Roger, Roger". ED-208 was clearly amusing himself with his less advanced cousins because he kept asking them things so they would say "Roger, Roger" over and over. The mining outpost buildings were new and very clean. I was actually surprised to find them so sterile given the nature of the job, but one of the workers explained that mining involves a lot of science (like we were doing) and that you wouldn't want contamination causing the corporation to pursue Awesomnium at the wrong place which would be very expensive. Extra Pics: Had to remove one side to get it to balance on end...

Welcome fellow Octan employees to the Security training. My name is Brickwolf and Sergeant Mr. Hodson here will assist me. On orders from the CEO every Octan employee has be able to defend Octan assets from hostile action. For those who are saying now: "I did not sign up for This!" I advise to read the fine print of your work contracts. To start right away: This is the OCAR-3XC assault rifle, which will be your best friend in the coming week.

Location: E01 - Donwarr Tags: None Log of Jebediah O'Reilly, Entry #030: Octan Special Forces division received a new batch of recruits yesterday. It's time for my favorite part of the orientation process; weeding out those who just don't have what it takes. Today I'm leading them on a hike across Donwarr; we have to survive 48 hours with minimal supplies. We have machetes, a small supply of food, bedrolls, hand pistols, and stock binoculars. I've done this exercise a thousand times; I won't interfere with the newbies unless one of them is about to get himself killed. A death in a training exercise is a LOT of paperwork to fill out. End Log C&C welcome.

Location: E02 Jurin II Tags: Science, Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Given the state of war that exists between Octan and the other corporations, all personnel have been instructed to be much more aware of security. Our delightful CEO pombe had requested that Dr. Allison and I investigate a Mantis lab on Jurin II. I became a bit concerned for how volatile things were when he not only insisted that ED-208 escort us, but Sue didn't even object. Perhaps she is still just in mourning after the profound loss of our friend. I always felt like Normal Guy was a good guy, a great employee, and just a really easily relatable fellow. I can't even imagine how his girlfriend Eshey must be doing. But sadly, in times of war, work must keep going. So ED-208 selected his weaponry to keep us safe and we proceeded to the Octan Heavy Cruiser OCS Belle Homme, recently renamed in honor of our departed colleague. Not knowing the strength or position of Mantis forces on Jurin II, ED-208 had acquired an armed scout car for us. We were glad to have both the speed and weaponry on our trip through enemy territory. ED-208 seemed to really enjoy being back in a gunner's seat and both Dr. Allison and I felt far more comfortable with him along. I think Dr. Allison was extra nervous because she seemed to want to hang onto me during the trip, given how new she is to field work and just in general I think that she was looking for reassurance. Upon our arrival at the lab we began our work. Dr. Allison got down to analysis while I began inspecting the various machinery. ED-208 was on high alert for any Mantis forces that might have returned or in case it was a trap. It looked like the lab hadn't seen any activity in a week or two, but it was still active. It was, in typical Mantis fashion, heavily fortified and quite militaristic in nature. They seemed to be doing some research on liquids, but we weren't quite sure why. It eventually became clear that they were pulling in some of the abundant water from the planet to combine it with locally sourced Awesomnium. They seemed to be attempting to develop a beverage for their forces that would imbue the drinker with benefits from the Awesomnium while also hydrating them. We were able to find some data in various computer logs that showed they hadn't been very successful. Dissolving the Awesomnium in the water had proven difficult and they mostly ended up with very gritty water that tasted terrible and instead of the Awesomnium being absorbed it simply wound up getting peed out. We collected all the data we could and proceeded back to the Belle Homme to prepare our report. I did notice that ED-208 vented some of his frustration at the loss of Normal Guy upon the machinery before we left. Such a tragic loss is hitting all of us hard. RIP Normal Guy This diary entry is in honor of our beloved comrade. Extra Pics:

Location: E02 - Jurin II Tags: Spying, Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Spaceship (I know last time I built spaceship wreckage I didn't get the tag, but this one is more substantial and plays a larger role in the story, so I think it should count. ) Log of Jebediah O'Reilly, Entry #029: One of our sleeper agents within MANTIS contacted us to say he had retrieved a data chip containing the identity of MANTIS agents within Octan. How ironic. Unfortunately, MANTIS must have known his true mission as they shot down his ship just as he was preparing to jump into the GATE above Jurin II. My mission is to find the wreckage and retrieve the agent and chip if possible. ...and it looks like one of those things won't be coming back. The ship is pretty burnt out. They must have hit it with a MANTIS Death Ray Blaster™. It's unlikely the chip survived but it never hurts to check. Geez. The rats work fast. Picked 'em clean. Hey, is that...? I can't believe this survived the crash. At least he got his priorities straight. This chip is worth far more than his life. Ok.. that sounded a bit harsh. I could have worded that better. Whatever. Nobody listens to these recordings anyway. I'm the only one with enough security clearance. Well, Maybe President Business too. Anyways. Better get out of here before some of their scouts come to check out the wreckage. I've seen enough death for today. I'm supposed to play the bagpipes at Normal Guy's funeral too. I still can't believe he's dead. Pombe must be devastated. End Log C&C welcome.

Location: E02 Tags: Just a nice bow out for this character! A pretty fun build. In fact I was rather happy with how it turned out - and very happy that I actually managed to get it done!

Hey All, Ok I'm working on something and I want to keep it true to the Lego Universe/Brand with all the electronics being made by a Lego Corp like Octan. But then it hit me. I can't think of any other fictional brands Lego uses for their in universe things other than Octan. So I wanted to ask around see if I'm forgetting any fictional brands from the Lego worlds. Any ideas? I'm really at a loss.

Dr. Harris takes Jebediah O'Reilly on a tour of the recently completed Awesomenium Foundry on Farmolis. Not the greatest physical build, but I'm a bit pressed for time. It gets the job done. EDIT: There's an extra 'E' in 'Awesomenium.' If a mod could fix that that would be awesome.

Location: H03 Tags: Spaceship, Vehicle Always a pleasure seeing a prototype come through! So you're the lucky lady that gets to drive the 49X, are you? Yes, ma'm, I believe I am! A snazzy design! Ain't those lines neat! Could use a color swap though, from that awful shade of blue to maybe a violet purple or somethin'... There will be NO color-scheme changes! And no aerodynamical changes! And no changes of any kind! Agent Crow! Excuse me - Mrs. Galash, this is Agent Crow, the 49X's... designer. You designed this? Ah... What a beauty! And do you know that color is growing on me as I speak! Really quite lovely! Humph! Well, what are you waiting for? Nothin' at all! Ha! Looks like my ol' hook is a bit too big for the ol' cockpit to handle! You didn't have the hook in your picture... is it that recent? Oh no! That picture was taken years and years ago! I've had the hook for ages already Huh. That's funny; you look every bit as old in the picture as you do now! Agent Crow! Wonder what this here button does? *fzzz* Daaagh! Might want to wait until you're out of the hangar before you start randomly pushing buttons, Mrs. Galash. What's that you say? My ears just ain't what they used to be! Oh I declare! If it ain't another button! Wait! Not that one! Grrrr! Agent Crow! This is just fantastic! Laser blasters! Is there one on the other side? Noooo! That is - yes! But don't shoot it! No! Ah-ha! I guess there is! Clear runway! I repeat, clear runway! Where'd everybody go? *bzzcrrkle* Mrs. Galash? This is First Branch Executive John Hannibal. Please report for duty at the nearest station. You'll be meeting your partner there. Hannibal, out. To be continued! A few shots of the 49X RayWing: One of my favs of all the spaceships I built so far! C&C welcome!

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!
