Blackhawk STX Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Location: Aeristus Tags: Kawashita, Aeristus, Airplane, Military Narbilu: Commander, welcome back to Orinshi. I’ll be heading out to Mynderis with Koro and the Terrestrials, but we have a situation at Aeristus. Commander Turtle: Yes, Sir? Narbilu: The Eastern continental shoreline is exposed, and we need someone to fly recon there. We have a Sky Eye ready to go with a specialist from the Engineering Network, but we need a pilot to fly it. Who do we have available there? Comander Turtle: The only pilot we currently have is, umm, Blackhawk, Sir. Narbilu: Oh. Really? What about Jycho Tyrus or Aera Lure? Comander Turtle: Jycho is inspecting water filtration facilities on the planet, and Aera is flying a combat air patrol. Would you like me to re-assign her? Narbilu: Hmmm… No, the patrol is too important. We can’t spare Aera. Comander Turtle: Well, Colonel Brik is due back here soon. If we push it, we can send him to Aeristus, although he probably won’t be too happy about it, and it’ll still take some time. Narbilu: Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm… No, we need to get this going soon. The shoreline is too vulnerable to leave for long. Comander Turtle: Well, Sir, Blackhawk may be a bit overeager and accident prone, but he can handle a ship. He shot down two fighters and a transport on Sorn, and on Marphacia he bagged a recon unit. He should be fine once he’s in a cockpit. Narbilu: Okay. Send Blackhawk up. (shudder) Comander Turtle: I… understand, Sir… Woo hoo! The brass has an important mission, and I’M the one they picked to fly it! It goes to show how much confidence they have in my abilities! Let’s get this show in the air! So, this time it’s a Sky Eye, an AWAC and electronic warfare platform. Hey, at least it has missiles (who says EW planes have to be unarmed?). Got a systems specialist names Bard with me. He’s from the Broader Engineering Network of New Yelsian (also known as BENNY). Hope he can handle my moves! Looks like we found a bogey! Could be MANTIS. Oh, well, no time to worry about that. Fox two!!! Oh, and by the way, I think I managed to get through to the techs my… concerns. I shouldn’t have any problems with them again… So, this build started with me looking at one of the big dishes and wondering how I could use it... and I came up with the idea of an Airborne Warning And Control platform. I like the idea of arming it, as everyone expects EW planes to be unarmed... C & C's welcome and appreciated. Any ideas on how to improve would be gladly considered! Quote
Mike S Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Nice build! Haha, no accidents for Blackhawk this week... but he got his revenge.... Quote
Big Sal Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Nice ship! The brick built wings are really great, and I like the engines and missiles! To improve, maybe try to cover up some more of the studs, though I know it can be hard with angled plates. Quote
aeralure Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 The wing shapes are really cool. I like that part of the main build the best. I really like the shot of them running as well as your helping the tech understand the errors of his ways. Good story too! Always a pleasure to see what you come up with. Quote
mccoyed Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Great ship and funny build. The dialogue between Turtle and Narbilu is great. Quote

I've really appreciated your support! Yeah, I decided to let Blackhawk get the upper hand this week. Gotta keep 'em guessing! Great build! I like the brick built wings Nice ship! The brick built wings are really great, and I like the engines and missiles! To improve, maybe try to cover up some more of the studs, though I know it can be hard with angled plates. Thank you both! And thanks for the advice, Sal. I will keep it in mind for future builds! The wing shapes are really cool. I like that part of the main build the best. I really like the shot of them running as well as your helping the tech understand the errors of his ways. Good story too! Always a pleasure to see what you come up with. Thanks! The tech and I have come to an... understanding. He has come to realize that what I did, I did when I wasn't really pissed... Great ship and funny build. The dialogue between Turtle and Narbilu is great. Thank you! It's fun to incorporate my fellow teammates in the story. And who knows? Maybe someday they'll forgive me... Quote
