Location: F09 - Aruim Minor Tags: Vehicle, Spaceship, Exploration Nothing... Abundant Wastelands - 2 by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr There is nothing here. So bleak. So empty. The corporation will be happy with it. Awesomnium is just oozing from every pore of this mountain. But it'll just be another miners town. Booming, busting, being left for dead. Abundant Wastelands - MAIN by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr Getting back into the pilot seat is bitter sweet. After checking in with the new CEO on Kaalin (awesome name) it's been a long quiet couple of days getting over to Aruim Minor. The engineer I delivered equipment too was plenty chatty; so much so that it completely overwhelmed me and I'm afraid that I might have come off as rude to the humble man. Abundant Wastelands - SHIP TOP by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr All of these trips, they wear a man down. I thought contracting with Octan was going to be a welcome reprieve from the constant constraints of being a family man. No fires to put out every evening. No second job as soon as I get home. Octan... that would be the answer to all of my problems. A great paycheck. A happy wife at home with all the latest gadgets to keep the house clean, food cooked, and diapers changed. A quiet bunk at night to get some real rest. Abundant Wastelands - SHIP SIDE by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr That never happened. The peace, the rest, the security of it all. I traded the thing I love most for some thoughtless ambition for the future. I have to get them back. Surely there is somewhere in the new galaxy where he can be with my family. It will be tough. My career will take a hit. But this could be everything we've dreamed of. I WILL find that place. We WILL find our home. My purpose is renewed. My mission is clear. Abundant Wastelands - BASE by Ryan McBryde, on Flickr I am consumed.

Location: A07, Lesser Direstan Tags: Kawashita, Spaceship, Airplane, Lesser Direstan Kawashita KS-78 Reppū (烈風, "Strong Gale") Technical Notes: Designed as an upgrade to the venerable Kawashita KS-47 Shōkaku (翔鶴, “Flying Crane”), the Kawashita KS-78 Reppū is a multi-purpose fighter escort capable of operating in all environments. Boasting a broader wingspan than its predecessor and making use of a pair of the new, more powerful KE-199 engines, the Reppū has more varied ordinance options, given more hard points. The fighter has additional storage space allows it to take part in reconnaissance and exploratory missions as well. The Reppū is fast becoming a favorite among Kawashita pilots. Still, there are adherents to the Shōkaku citing more nimble behavior in close-quarter dogfights. Aera’s Diary: We began arriving on Lesser Direstan a few days ago. Right away the planet struck me as unique with it red and white vegetation. It’s truly bizarre to be surrounded by bright red and slivers of white as far as the eye can see. We’ve mostly been on patrols and doing recon missions - getting eyes on new locations, escorting transport ships - these kinds of things. They say there’s a lot of alien activity here, but where we’ve been stationed I’ve yet to see anything. There’s reports of huge creatures that fly in the upper atmosphere. Dangerous as that sounds, that’s something I’d like to see with my own eyes. We came here with the new K78’s. I love this thing! Everything we’ve been asking for seems to have come through with this design. It’s rare as a pilot not to have to ask for many performance tweaks. Aki will be happy I’m off his case and he can focus simply on maintenance!! \(^-^)/ We’ll see how it holds up, but so far it’s a dream come true. I think Kai sleeps in his. I swear, I rarely see him out of its sight! Scramble alert! Seems a team got pinned down encountering aliens while out surveying and we are close enough to respond. Orders have come through to lay down some suppressing fire so they can get out of there. Guess I’ll be seeing some of this world’s alien life after all! Comments: My first MOC on these forums and my first build after quite a long hiatus from Lego. A bigger project than I anticipated, but I had an image in my head of what I wanted since I first started reading about AG last week, so I wanted to try and build it. Some things were challenging, but I had fun and I learned a lot. There’s still more to do and more that I had in mind, but I’m quickly running out of time. I’m rebuilding my Lego collection from scratch - slowly - so I’m starting with digital work. There’s been a learning curve, but thanks to some kind posters here I’m successfully able to render on my Mac. I did, however, run into a part error and it simply won’t render the part properly - it’s twisted and out of shape. Looks too weird to post that way. I need to troubleshoot. Could just be that part, or maybe a new version is out there somewhere. As a result, this week’s build needs to be shown as LDD screenshots. I’m really disappointed about that - I hope that’s ok! I didn’t wish to miss this week trying to fix it. This is still a WIP - until it isn’t - but it’s complete enough now to be my entry for this week. As there was a last minute sortie, I may put up some images showing the air-to-ground load out. I may also update with an image or two of a complimentary element of the scene I was originally going to do with this (but now being unable to render this week, I’m not sure about that). So stay tuned for possible tweaks and updates! Hope I did everything right and hope you enjoy. More images hidden behind the spoiler. ~ iku Kawashita!

Location: F09 Tags: Science, Exploration, Spying, Spaceship //"Log date 338, This is Dr. Danielle Long, reporting from the Axle. We left Xerillian today. Glad to be off that irritating desert planet. After filling the appropriate casualty report and seeking medical attention to my surviving Octancorp brand trooper, to whom I've bestowed the name Trooper 2, I was able to obtain several samples of the ubiquitous arachnoid creatures endemic to the planet. They are being analyzed as I speak in O.C.S. Axle's pristine labs. Naturally all paperwork related to such has already been filed. As head Scientist aboard the OCS Axle, and highest ranking Scientist in Octan's Andromeda branch, I ensure that all paperwork is flawless. Next target is F09. Dr. Long signing off."// //"Log date 339, This is Dr. Danielle Long. The following report is encrypted. Security clearance level: TOP SECRET. Dr. Long Signing off."// //"Log date 340, This is Dr. Danielle Long. The following report is encrypted. Security clearance level: TOP SECRET. Dr. Long Signing off."// Aboard the O.C.S. Axle, in Orbit of F09 Mr. O'Reilly: "You know, this was supposed to be my week off." Dr. Long: "Vacation requests may be denied on late or no notice should...." Mr. O'Reilly: "I know the regulations." Dr. Long: "Right... Of course. So. The team has been assembled. I still need one more crew member though... I'm not willing to risk any of my own tech specialists from the Axle on this. They're all doing Octan's good work, and I cannot spare one. I'm going to visit an old friend..." Later, aboard Dr. Martenz's research vessel on F09 Dr. Martenz: "Danielle, It's been too long. I trust you are here to inspect my pathogen research? I believe some of these specimens may be very promising to Biomass collection from this planet!" Dr. Long: "That is not why I am here today, Dr. Martenz." Dr. Martenz: "You did arrive before I expected you to... What can I do for you?" Dr. Long: "I need one of your new hirees for a top secret mission. According to his file, he is a robotics and technology expert. A certain Kodan Black." Dr. Martenz: "What?! Great Scott, Danielle! I'm hardly running with a skeleton crew here! There's so much to be done, and I have such little staff! I cannot afford to go without a single on! Not even a robotics specialist! Let me at least have an ensign from the Axle to carry out his duties in the interim?" Dr. Long: "This is not a negotiation, Dr. I will assess your shortage of staff on my routine inspection scheduled for two business days from today. Until then, I will hear nothing further on the subject. Now, would you kindly direct this Kodan to my office." Dr. Martenz: "...Yes, Dr. Long." Location undisclosed.

Dr. Long: "Excellent. I think we all know what to do with that. We've been looking for one of those for so long now. Excellent work. You were certainly the right pick for this job." //"Status update: Tech retrieval success. Files on the genetic modification process have been procured. And, of course, Trooper 2 generously unwittingly volunteered to play host to a sample of the Kawashita super predator's genetic material. He will be analyzed in a Maximum security lab aboard the O.C.S. Axle, as was corporate's order. Dr. Long out."// This is the largest hollow anything I have ever built. I was planning this for a few weeks. Got a bit rushed at the end, but I think it turned out well. I just regret not getting better pictures. More pictures on my flickr.

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.

Begin Log: Caught one of the scientists hacking into our top secret files. Can't let that information get out to any of the other corporations. The prisoner won't talk. Time to transfer him to Torresta for a "hot bath." My Intergalactic Speeder should do the trick. It's just big enough for the two of us and should supply enough oxygen for the interplanetary travel. The prisoner is secure. He'll be over within one cycle. We need to crack down on these rogues! End Log

[K - E10] Polar Military Base on Traig IV This is my first microbuild ever, so all kinds of CC is approciated! I had a lot more fun building this than I had initially anticipated, doing things on a microscale forces one to think in very different way than one usually does. As usual, my projects tend to become bigger than I intend... this one clocks in at a little over 1200 pieces. For scale purposes, one tile (without stud) is around 2m high. (Also, I realized why rendering was so slow last week (custom radiosity), so this week you'll get a lot of renders (one high def, and a few a little lower def)!) --//Transmission Begin. Date: 1506(38)15. Scramble code: hhakKHI7924kja29jKllflhgm.//-- Due to reports of possible imminent direct contact with Octan, HQ decided we needed to set up a forward base on Traig IV. Its mountainous islands near the poles, which are covered with thick layers of ice and snow, provide excellent opportunities for building such bases, both thanks to the strong magnetic fields eminating from them, which interfere with enemy scanning equipment, the supply of fresh water from the snow, and the opportunity for our scientists to study the planets very interesting oceanic flora and fauna. The majority of the base is located underground, including a vast hangar which can hold up to 6 Alpha Class airships (one of them which is currently landing), 50 heavy bombers and a couple of hundred smaller fighter jets, plus several different ground vehicles, including variants of the ATC-76 (which can be seen approaching the base). Some parts are located on the surface however. The living arrangements for the troops and scientists, which consists of several self propelling modules, which land on each other to form a tower of sorts, is located above ground in order to minimize the space used (for harder visual/radiation tracking) and to facilitate rapid evacuation in case of an emergency. The research facilities require daylight for particular types of experiments, so part of it is above ground. The Awsomnium tanks were just delivered via orbital delivery ships, and will be hauled into the hangar as soon as possible. Two ATCs approaching the front gate. The base from above. Col. QL, out. --//Transmission End. Signature: Col. QL. Scramble code: hhakKHI7924kja29jKllflhgm.//-- Hope you enjoyed it! More unrendered pictures and comments under the spoiler button!

Mission 02-Lesser Direstan Kawashita, Spaceship, Exploration Mission 02, I have my job in the Kawashita Corporation. My first job went smoothly and I have earned some credits. The CEO and Executives have sent me on my second job. Lesser Direstan. I have brought a 'fast mover' spaceship with to quickly scan the region I was assigned too. The bosses want the planet mapped out and checked for anything profitable. I'm placing ground probes that will send back the scanning information found in the area. This will take me less time than they expect and allow me just enough free time to catch up on my sleep. The probes at least have a anti-gravity device, no way I want to throw my back out trying to unload them. Some adjustments for atmosphere conditions. I think I'll also turn on the life form detection system. I figure there has to be some alien life forms on this planet. All set, now to remember to close up the back. Narbilu tore me a new one when I forgot and I lost two probes.....one of which landed on his dojo. All set, cockpit canopy open and I am outta this place. Time to see what is on the job list. The landscape for this was something I didn't put time into since it is my sons little micro fig battle field. He wasn't really pleased with me this morning :)

---------- Log 2 - The Windblades Objective N.R Marcus has been assigned his first real mission in the Andromeda System: extracting compacted Awesomnium on Lesser Direstan aboard the Katogari AE-5, a light and agile craft able to cut even the sturdiest surfaces… ---------- My stay on Greater Direstan didn’t last long. The councilman known as Mr. Nagashi assigned me a high priority mission on Lesser Direstan, a neighbouring planet en route to Guinevere. He told me the Council was selecting a number of pilots, engineers, scientists and explorers from different branches to lead class-2 missions across the quadrant as a type of trial. “You pass the test, you graduate to class-2. You don’t, you get left behind”, he told me with a smirk on his face. I know he wasn’t jokin’. A friend told me about these sorting methods in Kawashita. They value Honor, but we gotta fight for what they call honor. We gotta tell ‘em we’re worthy of our place. Not sure it’s ethical… Let’s call it logical. In the early morning, as the 2nd fleet was spreading across the coast, I left on a transport carrier to Lesser Direstan, still oblivious of what my class-2 mission was supposed to be. Halfway through I got a transmission telling “all pilots to report immediately in the hangar bay”. I lurched there with a quick pace, hiding my legs’ weakness when people would pass me by. When I finally arrived in the bright and wide hangar, I saw about 50 crafts lying around, ready for departure. I knew what was going on before we even got the mission status by a tall KG fleet officer: “I’ll make it short. What you’ve got here is the Katogari AE-5, a perfect blend of manoeuvrability and strenght, gift of our best engineers. Double sail engines, 50K capacity pod and your two new friends: twin plasma cutters. And baby do they cut.” He moved back and forth in front of us, never looking at us in the eyes: “Our explorers found something very interesting going on on Direstan’s surface. Following canyons where giant rivers used to roar, they scanned very old rocks as sharp as knives. They call them Windblades. They found tons of hidden awesomnium inside these rocks, turned blue after being compacted for who knows how many years. Your mission is simple: drop over the rock, extract the blue stuff, don’t crash in a wall and come back for 1300. There have been reports of alien sightings, so watch out. Good luck pilots.” (...) “What are you doin’ there Ash?.. What the heck is that?” “Well, isn’t it obvious? It’s a snowman!” “We’re not here to play, mate. It’s a class-2!” “There was an awesomnium pocket in there! I couldn’t cut it another way, I swear” I was surprised at how relaxed he seemed, how he could make fun of its job… It wouldn’t kill anyone if he made a mistake… Well… Maybe I was taking this too seriously… Or I guess that deep inside, I found the Windblades so magical I didn’t want people to break ‘em too hard. “Hurry up Marcus, I want us to be the first to cross that finish line! Ahem... Report to Alpha, Alpha do you hear me?: Extraction mission completed. Coming back to you Alpha. No alien encounter, but tons of Awesomnium. May Kawashita bring fortune. ---------- Katogari AE-5 Blueprints (Play features: Landing gears, retractable pod and removable gear) Mining Equipment Blueprints (Thruster pack and plasma drill) First appearance of the Dust Demons technology can be found in mccoyed's Angry Angel archives. ---------- ** LOG 2 CHALLENGE: Can you spy with your eagle eye... the Classic Space reference? ** P.s: Sorry for the long story, pictures-heavy post and the bad pictures (IMO)... I have to buy/set a studio soon!.. Right now I use bad weather daylight + books as a tripod (...) Wish you could see the model in real life.

Location: I06 - Yetornius Tags: Spaceship, exploration, vehicle Here is Lord Marc's first build for lord business (the mighty Octan corp.). It is a micro/mini spaceship that is flying over Yetornius. One of my first few renders so I am learning how to use POV-Ray. Day: 60 Crew: Lord Marc (captain, pilot), Sarraid (co-pilot, assistant) Log: "After almost two months of flying at over mach 50 we finally can slow down. It was a steady entry into Yetornius' very thin atmosphere (500 m thick). However, what might seem like a safe entry was very much not so. High amounts of friction with a superheated gas and a scorching hot planet warmed the belly of our ship to well over 750 million°K. Luckily we had our spacecraft coated with some special paint so our crazy expensive baby was fine. Our food supply is plentiful and so is our water. We are currently only 20 000 km away from our explorers. Only an hour or two more till we land. The landscape is, well, ugly, dull and gloomy. The heat from the lava lets us use less power because we start to hover from the rising air." Speeding by a small hill like thing on Yetornius. So, what do you think of it? (constructive criticism is also appreciated)

*** Start Log *** Junali 4th, AD 3815 Thesseus B. Von Geekington, freighter captain of the Aian Sai reporting. Today, my trusty freighter of the `Liberty Rhino` class finally came out of drydock. Having signed up for the Kawashita Corporation, my first mission is to travel to the planet Greater Direstan, located at grid B08 on the NavSat system. My job there seems to be one of logistical support, doing what I do best. That being, hauling the minerals the corporation can dig up from the soils of this large dispository of a mineral called Awesomnium. So far, the journey has been tranquil, and I`ll be touching down any moment now. *** End Log *** Well, the build itself is a bit of a novelty for myself, as I never build spaceships in Microscale before. Quite a fun experience. I based the freighter Aian Sai (meaning `Iron Rhino` in Japanese) on a spaceship I spend a LOT of time with years ago... the Liberty Rhino Freighter from the Freelancer videogame. Hope you like it! (And I hope I did this right for posting)

One of the massive colony ships arrives at C09 - Orinshi. Arrival by EpsilonEta, on Flickr On board is a military operative only known as "Raven". She have been hired by Kawashita to handle security and escort explorers on new planets. Many speculate that an agent with here reputation is more likely to perform espionage and sabotage on rivaling companies. The Kawashita group deny any such accusations. Raven by EpsilonEta, on Flickr

---Begin transmission--- This is Pilot Ace Head, reporting from Awsomnium station #29, H05-Livgorn. The mining operation seems to be going well. With multiple wells popping up all over the place. And when the awesomnium piles up, the need to get it back to Farmolis comes. And that's where I come in. The guys on top has entrusted me the OT-NVG Freighter to bring back the stuff. In order to save cost, Octan made the ship from existing consumer level tech and parts. Which honestly doesn't make the ship particularly fast. But with large tanks of precious awesomnium in the back I can forgive the lack of speed. Well breaks over. I need to get this back to Farmolis. And into a better ship. Ace out ---End transmission--- The moon is really bright here on Livgron. Hope the other guys have set up stations on open areas like they did here. Or I'm gonna have a hard time landing this thing. And here are some shots of the ship itself.

What do you get when you fuse the Blacktron I Invader with Blacktron II's Allied Avenger? The Allied Invader. More than a nuisance than a dangerous treat in dogfights, the Allied Invader is an incredible speedy craft with weak firepower. Due to It's speed, It's not a very steerable fighter and needs broad space to manoeuvre. It's sometimes used as a kamikaze attack, delivering a deep piercing attack that might burst any vessel.

Lego Classic Space - 1665 - LL Gouw by WSM_, on Flickr I finished this spaceship about two weeks ago, but as you know, the Neo Classic Space colorscheme is very strict, so i swore by getting myself a Trans-Yellow canopy before taking pictures. I hoped the guy i bought it from would attend the LUG meet i showed this model at a week ago, but sadly not, so i had to show it there with the wrong canopy (a Trans-Black one). So here it finally is! There's way more photos on Flickr which are definitely worth to check. :) Enjoy!

Ancient legends speak of giant flying beasts that came from the skies... This model is a forebody of a Renaissance class exploration spaceship. This model was supposed to be the first part of a much larger spaceship. My idea was to show how advanced technology transforms into new reality, and artificial creations become new nature. I used the citation of the Clarke's third law to refer to the hypothesis that humanity cannot find traces of activity of advanced extraterrestrial civilizations because they are indistinguishable from natural cosmic phenomena. I also wanted to connect this with an ufological theory that aliens were visiting Earth in the past and this was reflected in mythology. Here are the blueprints with different views of the ship's forebody, its dimensions and a list of its key components (click to open the picture in higher resolution): Additional views of the model: The ship is approaching a new planet for research... Additional photos can be found on Flickr.

So this is a rebuild of an earlier model I did last year. I like how it turned out, thanks for viewing!
