Dardanel

Epic :D I like the idea, I like the execution, i like everything!

Thank you for all the nice comments :D It's my own version of a whirlpool :D There was supposed to be a "monster" coming out of it, but lack of time made that impossible :/

Location: Greater Direstan - B08 Tags: Kawashita, Science, Exploration Ship Log – 29 Maian 3815 One of the probes is still hasn't returned. Will have to investigate. Ship Log – 30 Maian 3815 After looking at the data the probe sent I have determined it's most likely position. Tomorrow I will have to investigate further. Ship Log – 01 Junali 3815 Gate lead us to Greater Direstan, probe is still sending location data. Lazlowe and I will head down there via shuttle and tried to retrieve it. Ship Log – 02 Junali 3815 Dense vegetation does not allow us to get very close to the probe. Will have to continue on foot. Ship Log – 04 Junali 3815 Finally arrived at the probe's location. Have not been able to determine the reason why the probe hasn't returned. Ship Log – 05 Junali 3815 It would seem that the reason probe is still here is organic in nature. Will have to take a sample. Lazlowe's LOG 06:02:02 INFO c.a.lazlowe.service.EyesightService Potential threat detected. 06:02:02 WARN c.a.lazlowe.service.ThreatDeterminationService Escalating sighting to threat! 06:02:03 INFO c.a.lazlowe.controller.ThreatController Engaging countermeasures.

Amazing :D Where did you get such a long "rope"? : )

Thanks for the comments and the coins :D

Thank you all for the nice comments!

Location: The Hamilton Belt - D10 Tags: Kawashita, Science Ship Log - 20 Maian 3815 After barely surviving the travel through GATE I find myself stranded among these strange stars. Most of the ship’s systems are no longer working, but I managed to reboot the mainframe. Ship Log – 21 Maian 3815 Lazlowe is still not returning my hails. I am beginning to fear the worse. I managed to get the ships engines working, will try to get communications up and running next. Ship Log – 22 Maian 3815 Finally managed to open the hangar doors. Unfortunately, Lazlowe is broken and I cannot fix him with the supplies I have on board. Ship Log – 23 Maian 3815 Arrived at Orinshi at last. Discovered that low range communications work after all. Managed to get into contact with Kawashita group. My request for resources needed to repair Lazlowe did not fall on deaf ears. Ship Log – 25 Maian 3815 After an extensive scanning and search I failed to locate the required silicon polymers on Orinshi. Hopefully some of the probes I sent to neighboring systems will bring good news. Ship Log – 27 Maian 3815 Probe sent to the Hamilton Belt brought back with it more than good news. Not only do the asteroids there contain the required silicon polymers they are also rich with Awesomnium, which means my research can continue. Maybe I should try and use some for Lazlowe’s repairs. Ship Log – 28 Maian 3815 Arrived at the Hamilton Belt. Will repair Lazlowe as soon as possible. Ship Log - 28 Maian 3815 - addendum I am finally reunited with my friend. Additional build functions:

Dardanel reporting in! You will be pleased to hear that I successfully survived the fierce storms of GATE. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for my android assistant. I am requesting permissions to use time and resources to repair it.

A few quick questions, before I officially join. I plan on mostly making machines, ie mechs, dropships, powered suits etc. 1. Would a scientist be able to gain the bonuses on any of these? 2. Would a build depicting the creation of these things give the aforementioned bonuses? 3. If both of the answers above is a not, which class would be able to cover these best? Thank you for you answers!

Thank you guys, your support means a lot :D

Yeah, I saw that but thought that only the jobs listed in the corporations topics were allowed if you joined a specific one :/ My bad! Question then regarding engineer, are builds depicting creation of spaceships/mechas/etc their forte, or rather the scientists?

Is engineer available as a class?

I'll join Kawashita then, as a scientist : ) Avatar will come soon : )

Are we allowed to be a kind of hibrid-ish class? I would like to be an explorer for the Kawashita group who likes to experiment and build his own gear for exploration. So, an explorer class, but sometimes rpg as a scientist.

I can try to help :D I always like a challenge : ) Would prefer you posted the questions here, rather than privately, tho : )

Good, I thought that I somehow managed to break the rules :D

Little surprised that none of my entries were accepted. Especially for category B, since I counted 11 valid entries. May I know why both of my entries were disqualified?

Category A: #1 #2 #5 Category B: #2 #5 #7 Category C: #5 #7 #8

Thank you! Thanks! I tried to somehow capture the futuristic/alien-ish look with the limited bricks I had on me :D (almost all parts are from the Sea Cow, except the minifigs and utensils)

This is ingenious! I am genuinely amazed :D I really like how the water is reflective and everything else - is not : )

Thank you guys! Hope I didn't make them too mechanical :D

Thank you for an amazing contest Bob! Made me feel like a student again! :D

Time is almost over so I'll have to skip long introductions this time :D Made together with my girlfriend in a single night, because parts for another project failed to arrive on time :D Hope you like the entry! Mutiny on Board, by my better half Mutiny on Deck, by yours truly

Thank you, again, for all the nice comments! :D Updated the first post, all backstories there, all characters, and a group photo, so it's ready for the contest finally! And just in the nick of time! :D

I am amazed by your crew :D Great work on all of them! Could you please tell me where you got "the support" (the part that looks like it's from a skeleton) for Joe Ravan's legs?
