We showed him one of our mobile drilling rigs that allowed us to find Awesomnium veins and extract it easier than digging tunnels. A couple of our dedicated Octan employees were on hand to make sure it all worked properly. We showed him the blast doors we used to keep the whole facility safe. In the case of unexpectedly hitting a gas pocket or other danger we could slam the doors shut and prevent any issues with our operation being put in jeopardy. With the fleet in orbit above the planet I was feeling quite safe and didn't figure I would have any issues with Mantis incursions. But we were alerted to an unknown ship jumping into the system. Before we could get any ships moved to intercept though it had vanished. Luckily one of our ships security cameras picked it up, but the picture that it got was almost useless in identifying the ship. But thanks to the Octansoft "Enhance!" button we were able to improve it: And pressing it again gave us a clear look at this mystery ship: It wasn't a vessel anyone recognized and we couldn't determine what it had even done in system. We would need to analyze what path it might have taken to see if we could follow it and figure out what it was up to! Extra Pics:

Mine has them at the service desk too, but yesterday they were entirely out. Target too.

None at TRU or Target. I'm not a huge CMF person so is this normal and there will be another wave so they will be easier to find or is this series outpacing supply and who knows when they will be in better supply?

Congrats man! Go do the family thing, no worries on AG. Don't forget to bring flowers or chocolates for the new mom.

Wow, I love that! Nice job re-purposing the 4x4 set. Don't hassel the hoff!

Love it! Can't wait to see more. Great little build and fantastic sense of humor!

Is the TRU 2 for $5 at all TRU? I will drop by and pick some up if that is the case as that is a good deal. I didn't see anything about it on their site.

All my money to Bob please!

Very unique shape with a cool and functional interior!

Oh, welcome! Bob should be adding you to our super secret PM soon! Glad to have you aboard.

I like the GoH cross reference. Nice to see that sort of thing! Good job on the mini-representations of the farm and ship. What a diverse universe AG is!

I love those mechs and really appreciate how simple they are to build. They use enough common parts that army building would totally be possible.

Location: H03 Kaalin Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // Our Merchant Confederate guest arrived and introduced himself as Hugo Drax. He said that he had heard many positive things about Octan from Bruce and that he was happy to be working with us. His ship, the MCS Jaws, was a very large and formidable ship. I was glad he was on our side as it looked like it had quite a mean bite! It took up orbit above our location, as was to be expected. ED-208 and I led Mr. Drax to our underground tram system. He was very impressed with it and said he would have to look into adding one to his under construction space station. I explained to him that our underground base had different areas that were represented by colors and that also allowed us to color code deliveries. It also adds a fun bit of color to an otherwise rather dull underground facility. Mr. Drax asked about security at our facility and I assured him that we had plenty of Marines with high-tech weaponry available. He said that was very good to hear as you never know when someone could show up and you would need to defend yourself. Apparently he is working on a security force for his station where he is performing a lot of botanical experiments. The hope is that our Awesomnium mining will prove lucrative and he will be able to use Awesomnium to enhance the plants he is studying. I guess the woman doctor he has heading up the research is making great progress. I inquired about getting some of his rare flowers as a present for Dr. Long now that she is back, but he said that it is too rare currently to spare any. He said that if the Awesomnium is able to increase the "yield" of the flower that he would be willing to send me some. I'm not sure what he meant by yield, but I'm sure he doesn't want to share too much -- the last thing he needs is some spy screwing up his work! Extra Pics:

Very nice, my brother-in-law is a paramedic and drives one of those (though not in LA). I've seen them many times up close as a result and that one is very spot on!

All my money to Bob please!

Really nice, great variation on the ground. The colors are very 70's/early 80's even. Though for 70's you probably need more hair and more mustaches. Nice and very industrial feeling MOC.

I love the walker, the story, and the continued insanity.

Location: H03 Kaalin Tags: Land Vehicle, Space Vehicle, Civil Building Previously... // PERSONAL DIARY // After my successful assistance in providing ice for the new executive club that CEO pombe had opened aboard the Axle I had been sent to Kaalin to operate as a liaison for a Merchant Confederate member who would be touring one of our mining operations. Apparently the person coming for a visit was an associate of Bruce Vayne's and was interested in our methods and Awesomnium processing. Given that I had recently been promoted to the 3rd Branch Executive position I was deemed a suitable choice to handle the meeting. Our meeting place was one of our primary ore processing facilities and was near the site or a memorial that had been set up on the planet for the incident tha thad happened in the nearby mines that had destroyed 217 robots and killed 2 humans. The official story was that an unexpected biogas pocket had been encountered during drilling and that a failed safety switch had prevented the robo-drillers from shutting down. ED-208 had told me that from the data files he had been able to access from the robo-drillers before the incident, there was audio of one of the humans voices saying: "Of course it is safe, hell you can drop kick these explosives and nothing would happen! Watch..." I find it very fortunate that the humans were so jovial just before the robo-driller set off that biogas pocket, that way they weren't aware of what was going to happen and weren't terrified. Sometimes ignorance is bliss! The Merchant Confederate space car was small and unarmed, which I took as a sign of the trust our corporation has established with them. ED-208 said at least this thing wasn't some dumb land vehicle that had just been dropped out of a ship. I'm not sure what that meant, but I reminded him to be polite once our guest arrived. Dr. Allison was already down below making sure that everything was all set up for our upcoming tour. Extra Pics:

I like the drilling rig. The brown dirt area is a little square, maybe try some slopes are stepping it down via plates. It takes a bit of time to get back in the swing of things, but the more you work at building the easier it will be. Congrats on your first AG post too!

As an engineer and being Octan you could do some sort of fuel depot or something. If you build a vehicle and a building (at least 1 wall of it) you will also get Octan some bonus pts.

Shadows of Nar Eurbrikka on Eurobricks was my first online role building game. AG was my 2nd. What I like about it is that there are some "universe rules" which helps keep my mind from wandering all over, but there is also a ton of flexibility. It also helps drive me to build since there are time constraints. I like to be able to tell a story and having the game available means I can tie it all together a lot easier. Whatever corporation you join there is a big private PM and I'm sure the people will be happy to give suggestions, advice or answer questions. Though the game is on a weekly schedule for building you don't HAVE to build weekly. If you want to build every other week or once a month you can. But having the consistent schedule does give it structure that I find helps keep me on task so I don't just keep trying to make my MOC bigger and bigger and realize 3 months later I've spent 3 months on one MOC.

53 to Bob please.

I absolutely love this build. And I'm totally obsessed with "How it's made"...
