Commander Turtle Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 (edited) Please mark this as an alien build! I tried to also make it qualify for my "exploration" bonus. The target is A05. Kawashita Orinishi HQ "Our probe is on course for passover on Yallorn II." "I bet I can get it in closer. Give me manual control!" "As you command, sir..." 30 seconds later... "Catastrophic error! Probe has crash landed! Definitely a software error!" "Sir, look at this. There appears to be life nearby the landing site." "Interesting, it appears to be some kind of giant cuddly toy... Being ridden by an insectoid..." Insectoids refer to their mounts as "Padds", because when they walk that's the noise their feet make! "Ew, it is drooling all over our probe! Perhaps we can analyse the minerals in its saliva?" Flickr link Edited June 14, 2015 by Commander Turtle Quote
Kodan Black Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Cute alien and nice work on the crash site. First alien build! Grats. Quote
NuckElBerg Posted June 14, 2015 Posted June 14, 2015 Great build! I love the use of grey plates as smoke, looks really nice! Also, the alien looks great, even though it might be a bit too snuggly to be really intmidating! (Also, I posted a version of the Alpha Class ship using only binoculars as you suggested, turned out really nice!) Quote
LittleJohn Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Love that alien! Great job with the crash too Quote
aeralure Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Love the alien! And the crash. Did I say I loved the alien? Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 (edited) As it's an alien build, your story should be from the alien point of view, and not from your Kawashita character Edit: Oh and Alien builds don't trigger jobs or equipment bonuses Edited June 15, 2015 by Bob De Quatre Quote
Commander Turtle Posted June 15, 2015 Author Posted June 15, 2015 Thanks for the kind words folk. As it's an alien build, your story should be from the alien point of view, and not from your Kawashita character Edit: Oh and Alien builds don't trigger jobs or equipment bonuses I did message you asking about the second point. As for the first, I didn't see that written down, my mistake! Quote
Boxerlego Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, Nice work on the alien build. Just don't stare directly in to its eyes, either you will be its next meal or you might get a tongue bath. Hard to tell. Quote
shmails Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Very neat alien, huggable and terrifying all at the same time. Nice work! Quote
Zepher Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 The alien is adorable, and well matched the rather adorable probe and it's rather adorable crash site. I love the small burst of smoke rising from it. Quote
mccoyed Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 This is cute all over. Love the Padd and the probe. The way you structured the story, even if it's not strictly true to the idea behind Alien builds, is awesome. Quote
Big Sal Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah, it's all very cute until some poor M.A.N.T.I.S. employee gets eaten by that alien! Nice build! Quote
Commander Turtle Posted June 16, 2015 Author Posted June 16, 2015 Thanks all! I wish MANTIS the very best on this planet... Quote
