I have a question! (Is that bad since I helped with rule clarification to begin with?) If I build a 35x35 entry as a commander. Am I allowed to have more than 7 minifigs in the scene as long as they are not sigfigs?

Your overconfidence is your weakness!

Less than a month before the deadline! And please keep in mind that we are going to try really hard to stick with this deadline this time So, I'm planning out my build, how's everyone else doing?

It certainly seems that way

I love that mech! The guns/hands are especially nice!

Very cool technique!

Location: E11 Fascini Cluster Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle Last time, in Ender's story: A Space Saga Begins Is it Mine Mine? Okami Bike As Ender rode across the desolate asteroid he sent off a background request on Hiro Nakamura to Shinra. He figured he'd need help chasing down these aliens and he knew Hiro would be up to the task. Almost immediately his request was returned with a positive note granting Ender permission to bring Hiro on as part of the Okami Force. It seems Shinra had already been looking into Hiro as a likely candidate to help them figure out what the aliens were after. After searching for a couple more hours and coming up with nothing he rendezvoused with Hiro. After parking his bike in Hiro's ride, Ender joined Hiro in the atmospherically sealed cockpit. They set the scanners to locate alien life and set off across the asteroid. Soon their scanners had picked up something worth investigating. It looked like the aliens were cornered and Ender was just about to put on his helmet to go confront them when something jumped over the rocks. The robot had super strength and pushed the hummer away from the aliens, allowing them to escape. After dumping the hummer on it's side, the robot ran off leaving Ender and Hiro stranded until someone could come and help them right their vehicle. The answers they were looking for regarding the aliens would have to wait... OoC: Credit for the robot design goes to flickr user markwisski.

Yes we will!

I like your story a lot! And your build is great too. Parts of it look a little unfinished, but the speeders make up for it.

Those are both incredible! The amount of detail you've created on Han is stunning.

Your builds are stunning, but your story is the best!

I've got two builds I'm finishing up and hope to have photographed sometime next week.

Location: E11 Fascini Cluster Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle Last time, in Ender's story: A Space Saga Begins Is it Mine Mine? After Octan had finally agreed to continue expanding like parasites on a different set of asteroids, and after M.A.N.T.I.S. had been thrown down the mine shaft (the only way to keep her from killing everyone in sight), Ender headed out after the alien craft he had seen. Being a part of a super-secret branch of the Kawashita company had it's privaledges. He was able to call in an airdrop of one of the new bikes one of the Okami scientists had come up with.

Your creativity knows no bounds. I love how unique your mind is.

I can answer the first question. The commander is based on rank, not XP. That had me confused for awhile too. Anyone who is the same rank as Lucas could actually be the commander and Lucas could be under him/her.

I know the Rebels are going to keep using their old one. Why re-invent the wheel right?

The commander job is open for nominees and volunteers. The team will have to work together to decide. Have you been invited to your group PM thread yet?

So it's the Kawashita line that's messed up then. It should be B08 to B09.

I was going to fix it, but someone already beat me to it! Should be good now.

Mantis' fleet was already on A08, did you mean to switch those?

I stand corrected!

Location: E11 Fascini Cluster Tags: Vehicle, Land Vehicle, Civil Last time, in Ender's story: A Space Saga Begins Hiro had been working the winch at one of Kawashita's mines on one of the larger asteroids in the Fascini Cluster when he was "approached" by an Octan employee. "Excuse me," Octan said, "I'll be claiming this asteroid for Octan now, you need to leave." "Sorry Octan," answered Hiro, "You've been in-system for too long. It's our turn to be here now." "No, no, no," Octan continued, "That's not how we work at Octan. Once we've expanded to a planet or asteroid belt, we never go back. So you can leave, or you can join Octan. We are always hiring" he said with a smile. Another voice broke in, "You both need to drop your weapons and leave!" "I'm here to claim this asteroid in the name of M.A.N.T.I.S." the newcomer continued. "You don't understand!" shouted Hiro. "Octan is the enemy here, not Kawashita! Octan is the one who controls half the galaxy!" "I don't care" answered M.A.N.T.I.S. "Do I look like I care about strategy? All I care about is killing you both!" Meanwhile, the winch had finished bringing Ender up from the bottom of the shaft. "Um, guys? Do you think we could figure this out so I can stop hanging here?" Things seemed to be at a standstill when they all heard an odd engine noise approaching. The strange spacecraft was flying low over the asteroid's surface. Really low! Everyond threw themselves on the ground, except for Ender who could only hang and watch. Ender had never seen a spacecraft like that one before. Maybe this was the alien race that had been causing Kawashita so much trouble. He was going to have to do some more investigation... right after he helped Hiro regain control of their asteroid! OoC: I am not happy with the alien craft, but I didn't have time to design something better. It looked a lot better in my head! Nevertheless, here is another picture of it if you're interested:

I've been really bad at keeping up with how many credits I have, but please give all of them (246 if the sigfig generator is to be believed) to NuckElBerg.

Thanks!
