Location: B08 Tags: Spaceship Raven is finally back to doing “CEO stuff” after a long and exiting story arc that I'm still working on. (I'll start post it in a few weeks) She have just about settled down in her new office on board the Resolution when her assistant finds her. Back in office What have you been up to!!? You where out flying when you suddenly took over a routine investigation of a missing ship and then you where gone for days!! When we finally heard from you you invaded Octan for no reason only to start hanging out with ALIEN!! You even sent people to “interview” Zoids, the slave taking kind, in Octan space!! And what was that thing about bombing an alien research base on Onix!? It's all explained in my latest report. You mean the one that is so secret only a few people on the main board, in the Milkyway, is allows to read it!? Sorry, need to know only. But the board did support me as continued CEO of the Andromeda branch. So what, you are just going to continue as if the past weeks just didn't happen!? Yes, and I expect you do the same. So why do you have battle armor and is that a rifle on the desk? Is it loaded? I just feel a litle exposed right now. It will go away soon and I'll start folowing you dresscodes again. Anything else? Well, other than wanting some answers, you have two weeks of dessisions, strategi, trade and relations documents to go thru. I put dessisions and critical info on top. Thank you. Some weeks later Raven get a message. From: Major Kartofski To: CEO Raven Subject: Status Report - Project Star-Lord Phase six of project Star-Lord is complete. Multiple flight tests and two GATE jumps have been performed and all data have been analyzed and minor adjustments made. All external consults except a few engineers from ALIEN have left the project thinking it's finished. Work now continue to refit and upgrade the ship with the latest Kawashita tech and colors. We expect … Raven read on

Nice first build (next time we want to see the explosion ) You are fast. Unfortionatly I haven't had the opertunity to go over the basic strategy yet (like what planets we aim for and which we "can't" build on) as this is your 10th post. I'll add you to our discusions as soon as I can so we can talk privatly (there are spies everywhere)

Nice to have you here Bazug. Hope to see some great art. As an alien player you tecnicaly dont need anything but if you want to colect credits you need to say which name you want to use (Bazug or Bazug DeBug) and the picture should be 100x100 pixls

Many people (me included) feel the deadline help to finnish builds but there is no obligation to make something every week. The few who do risk geting tired and leave, or go crazy *cough*pombe*cough*

Welcome to Kawashita FiddyB (your sigfig can have a diferent name then you) As soon as you reach 10 posts I can add you to our PM discussions. Hope you will have fun here and I'm looking forward to seeing your builds.

Yes, it's a nice litle build and the seaweed is cool. The helmet is from SpongeBob and also used for lamps in some sets http://www.bricklink...sp?P=61287&in=S

Really cool spaceship. Love all the odd angles and orange details! And that's what you get for having a heart. (Raven had just left the humans for the sake of the mission )

"Guns, lots of guns" Now all we need is groundbreaking action scenes and mindblowing philosophy

Location: B08 Tags: Spaceship The Kawashita fleet arrive at the B08 system to assist the mining operations that have been slowed down by the large MANTIS presence. Raven stand at the helm of the KSD Resolution, the current capital ship in the fleet.

Well, Raven have explicitly refused any mechanical parts would she be injured and demand any lost limb would be regrown with stamcells or by cloning a new one. It's probably more expensive, especially as Kawashita is the leading expert on cybernetic proteses. Many of them are even better then the biological equivalents. Some soldiers (Koro being the extreme example) replace parts to increase performance. The reason Raven don't want one is because it would make her easier to identify, hindering her performance as a spy. Enough about that. It's a nice build, espesially the clifs but I miss a picture of the spider mech alone.

Kawaskita research the Spaceship Mastery tech http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=123157

OMG! I have goten a Spyrius ship! Great work on integrating it in your story and a really nice space ship.

Really cool SHIP (or is it long enough?) Cool either way. It's rare to see interior in such a large build. Good job!

Please buy a Kawashita tag and a Metal eater to Col. Brik, thank you.

Location: B06 Tags: Land Vehicle, Exploration Just a truck on a cliff, I didn't really have time to make anything (but did anyway)

No point with guard rails. Anyone who can't walk on a 4 wide plate have no place in Kawashita

I don't understad. If you make a 5 point spaceship there is no way it woulden't count (you would need like a 20 point landingpad for that) What I was saying was that a 1 point spacship in an otherwise 5 point build woulden't count as obviusly the builder have had time, bricks and skills to pull of a 5 point build but have put in a simple spaceship just for the tag bonus. (In the same way a 2 point ship woulden't count in a 7 point build) And this was still mostly in theory as we have continued to give bonus to tags that have smaller and smaller part of the "effort" as we don't want to take away bonuses people worked for. I only remember one tag as of now that I disaproved despite it was built and that could as well be becase of the "no significant story/picture" (ok, found another but that had the wrong tag name too) If we where to increse the demands for tags we would make that cleare in advance.

Well, we judges are nice (too nice if you ask me) and so far I haven't disaproved any tag based on this (but a few have been close but again, we are nice) Myself, I build what I like for story and (exept for this week if it even count as spying at all) I haven't built for my job bonus in ages. Nor am I forceing outdoor scens to get the exploration tag. My point is if you want to maximise bonuses the story and build options will be limited (like mantis doing a lot of spying latly). As for predicting the usefulness of the builds they already have to be part of the story and that ship you shown would be aproved for almost any build unless I get to make the tag rules more strict. but I will make a clere post in this thred far in advance if that hapen. If you are still not sure you could just make a fleet of those ships or make it beter to garante a tag even if you get a 7.

Its my personal enturpritation on "how much effort was put in to the build". If you make a fantastic build and put in a few bricks more just to get a tag I would not aprove that tag. But if the build was only that ship and possibly a simple landingpad the ship would be a significan part of the build effort. As a guess I would say at least roughly 5% of the whole effort should be focused on the tag part (but this is my opinion)

I would have aproved it for a 2 or 3 points micro build but for greater builds I think its to smal compared to the rest of the effort of a 4 and up build

It look like I missed the Science tag altogeter as I haven't denyed it either.

Location: F09 Tags: Exploration, Spying A quick little build (with bad photos) before I leave for two weeks. Raven is checking out the house of an (alien) art collector she found out about at the art gallery.

Nice build. I like the color on the wings and back. Maybe it's related to the fire wasp on Guinevere An advise for photographing black (other than much light) is to use a dark background. Adjusting the light in a program work too. (Both together work even better)

Cool ship (and I fixed your title )

“...And that's where you come in.“ Ha, made me think of KSP. I personally like that new head on Jebediah (ha, haven't thought about his name while thinking of KSP) Anyway, the hammer in the engine was cool. Mjolnir drive
