Well, this is new. I normally hang around the Technic forum, but I just had to enter the Freighter Wars contest on Lego Rebrick. I wanted to make a cool model, and so I ended up making a not quite microscale model, with lots of asymmetrical greebling, WW2 bomber inspired turrets, and of course, lots of guns. The general idea is two YT-1300 freighter jammed together. I had actually come up with a backstory of sorts for this ship, but first, some more pictures. This image shows the other side of the ship. The design has many differing colors, suggesting that it is patched together from many other ships. Doing this in a way that looked good was kind of hard. The underside, showing some ventral turrets, and some big honking railguns up front. These complement the turbolasers up top. The rear engine cluster is probably the biggest departure from the standard YT-1300, but the Republic Cruisers had them, and that's probably what these got yanked off of. Another departure was the cockpit. The two side pods are gunner stations, while the cockpit is central. In universe, this is to give the pilot better visibility in combat situations. I just realized it now, but it also harkens back to the very first concepts for the Millenium Falcon, before they switched to a saucer shape. And now, here's my backstory, if you want to read it. In some parts of the galaxy, ships are uncommon, due to remoteness, high tariffs, or other factors. This lack of easy access to ships forces natives of these regions to get creative, letting no ship die easily, and combining parts that have no place working together. One example of this is actually so common it has a name: the YT-1300.2. Combing two ubiquitous Corellian YT-1300 freighters into one ship, this amalgamation results in a ship with double the cargo capacity, while not increasing the crew requirements. It is a good use for two ships that would otherwise be scrap, and giving them a new lease on life. Such a concept is also appealing to smugglers and other miscreants, as it is cheap to make, easy to find parts for, and spacious, either for illicit cargo, or special equipment. One such example of a pirate YT-1300.2 is the Eliminator, a beast considered unholy even in the regions where hybrid ships are common. Designed and piloted by one Erik Carter, the Eliminator has but one purpose: eliminate First Order ships. Erik and his crew were originally privateers hired by a system sympathetic to the Resistance cause, but they quickly grew to detest their outdated or inadequate equipment. Erik did have a stash of unusual technology he procured from his home planet near the Unknown Regions, but he was not allowed to modify any ships they were lent, nor was the crew able to afford their own ship. However, the captain of the crew, an odd fellow named Zakrov, purchased two wrecked YT-1300 freighters from a salvage auction while intoxicated. Neither freighter was flyable on its own, and indeed, neither had been turned on in nearly a decade, hence why they were so cheap. The crew was initially furious, until Erik revealed his daring plan. He saw potential in the wrecks, and would combine them into a single, working ship. One ship had no engines, due to some engine failure, while the other had impacted a space station, destroying the front mandibles and much of the front of the ship. Erik's theory was sound, but didn't work in practice. A test run revealed that the combined ship had poor acceleration, poor maneuverability, and poor combat abilities. Nonetheless, it was a ship of their own, and a good base for modifications. Soon after, every crew member began scouring auction sites and salvage yards, looking for more parts. A cockpit from a shuttle unit was mounted centrally, as Erik considered that a much better location for a cockpit. The original cockpit was replaced by a ball turret with anti starfighter lasers, and mirrored on the other side. A cut down engine block from an Old Republic frigate provided higher thrust, but that was not all. Next came the weapons, something Erik had wanted to implement for a long time. He had procured a rare type of ceramic composite that converted heat almost directly into electricity, and by applying this material to some overvolted turbolasers, Erik was able to increase their rate of fire to that of a much smaller blaster. Many odds and ends later, and the Eliminator was born. The Eliminator, or the "Flying Dumpster", as she is affectionately (?) nicknamed by the crew, is a singly lethal ship, built on a shoestring budget. Despite her small size, the Eliminator packs the firepower of a heavy frigate, with 2 double turbolaser turrets, 4 anti starfighter emplacements with 2 quad lasers each, 5 with a single quad laser, 2 variable torpedo launchers, and 2 unique spinal guns. These latter guns use a unique technology to fire a physical projectile at extremely high speeds, causing immense damage on impact. This is advantageous, as the guns ignore most shields, and can be fitted to fire a variety of projectile types, including tandem charge and shotgun rounds. Another feature of the guns is the ability to fire a round into hyperspace, on an intersecting trajectory with an enemy target. This attack is utterly devastating, even to a Star Destroyer, but it is difficult to program, and risky to execute, as the Eliminator could be caught in the blast wave, or have its hyperdrive blown. Used far more often are the twin turbolasers on top, which are overvolted, which would ordinarily be detrimental, but with Erik's special ceramic composite barrels, they can fire at high rates for extended periods of time, a massive advantage in combat. Providing cover fire are quad laser cannons mounted on various turrets the whole ship over. These turrets utilize modified CEC AG-2G quad lasers, fitted with boosted cooling systems. The ship also has several micromissile batteries. To provide increased durability, the Eliminator was fitted with no less than four separate deflector shield projector systems. While that sounds highly unreliable, it actually allows the shields to be cycled, making them harder to wear down. Like any good smuggler ship, the hyperdrive has been modified as well, to a standard of class 0.75. Zakrov was unwilling to boost that system any farther,given that he's crazy, not stupid, and 0.75 is faster than most First Order ships. In sublight, the Eliminator has three massive engines,plus numerous verniers, making it far more maneuverable than a freighter has any right to be, and allowing it to dogfight with First Order TIE fighters. The sublight engines and deflector shields have numerous exotic components on the inside, making them far more efficient, and harder to detect. Even the hull of the Eliminator has panels of exotic composite making up its armor. On the inside, the Eliminator has virtually no cargo space, instead having spacious crew quarters, and lots of additional systems. While it may be temperamental, and its crew just as much so, the Resistance are glad to have the Eliminator around. P.S. Erik Carter is pretty much my Author Avatar OC, so you might be seeing him more often.

Captain Roger Jones. He spent most of his childhood at a rich house on Earth (the capital of The Empire) he liked watching ancient pirate movies, always dreaming of becoming a pirate when he grew up. His parents never took him seriously. thinking it was a silly idea and he had everything any kid ever wanted. But to their surprise he got a crew and grew up to be the one of the most feared pirate across multiple galaxies. But it didn't start like that before he became a captain he joined a different pirate crew. Pirate life was more than he ever dreamed it would be; they went on a few missions but it all changed when the captain found out that Rogers came from Earth. Earth being the where most top imperial generals are from the old captain despised anything that came from there so Rogers was sent at an escape pod to the nearest moon or planet. Cracky, the first to join captain jones' crew. Cracky was never right in his mind; he is obsessed with knives and cutting things he doesn't know right from wrong. When the villagers had enough of his craziness they exiled him he didn't really know what that meant but went to live on the uninhabited island where he was dropped of anyway there he was living his best crazy life when one day a large unknown to Cracky object crashed into his home. Naturally he cut the object open with his energy knife inside was a man like Cracky has never seen before. It didn't look like that man had scales his arms were small he was a yellow color instead of the usual green. Before Cracky had time to cut more than a leg the man yelled, Cracky was startled and froze in that moment the man grabbed Cracky's knife, pushed him into a different room in the object and pushed a button to close the door. In the room Cracky found something interesting a small rectangle that when he picked up started telling him a strange story about some creatures going on something called a fellowship Cracky got so interested that he had forgotten all about the strange man and cutting. Later the door opened and the yellow man who now had wooden stump in the place where his leg once was was standing there. For some reason Cracky didn't feel like cutting him now and instead asked the man "Is there more?" showing the man the rectangular object the man said that if Cracky helps him get revenge on the pirates that sent him here then Cracky can have all the books in the galaxy. not understanding half of what the man said Cracky agreed to help the man. Rosa Jones. Wife of Captain Rogers Jones. All her life she was told that space and other planets are dangerous and she will die the moment even one flipper leaves the water. One day something very strange was going on a spaceship like the ones she once saw on the holovision was submerging a giant tank into the water curios Rosa went to have a closer look and when she got closer the doors of the tank opened and started sucking in the water and Rosa with it. The ship flew away with Rosa still stuck inside the tank. One day the ship was attacked by pirates apparently the water from Rosa's home planet had some valuable minerals in it when the pirates went to see what they got they they saw Rosa in the tank. The Captain recognized her as an intelligent being and offered her to join them thinking they would probably kill her if she refused she accepted the offer. After selling most of the water they went to the black market and bought her a breathing device and some cybernetic limbs so she can walk and fight with the rest of the crew. After pirating together Rosa and Rogers fell in love and got married. Slave №9999 "Nines" Has been a slave from birth making weapons for his robot masters. All his life he never had anything of his own. He didn't even have a name, just a number "9999 ''. One day he had an accident and lost an arm. After that the robots just came and threw him in the dump like garbage. There something in him clicked he thought there is no way humans just exist to work for robots there must be more to life than this. So he did the only thing he knew to do: he made a weapon he only had one arm but that didn't stop him. The next time a slave was being thrown in the dump he jumped and attacked the robot and with the help of the other slave who was a programmer they managed to replace 9999's arm with the one of the robots. Later modified the robot's memory so that it thinks it lost its arm in an accident. In secret 9999 made weapons to fight the robots when he had enough he led an uprising he managed to take control of a robot ship, but when the robots found out the artificial planet self-destructed and 9999 was the only one that managed to escape. Later when he was free he promised to himself that one day he would avenge his friends and kept his tattoos and number as a reminder. At some point he was recruited by Captain Jones and joined the pirate crew. Subject 562 was a top secret experiment of making intelligent animals. One day when 562 was solving tests like he always does he overheard one of the scientists saying: "I don't think we will ever make it smart enough for it to take over our jobs, so probable will just sell it to the circus so it can do some cool trick that require some smart thinking" and another said: "yeah I don't know who the boss think we are to think that anyone can make animals smarter than humans''. Then 562 thought what was the "it" they were talking about was "it" him if so then why do they think he can't be smarter than them they looked pretty stupid to him. Even that raccoon in the cage next to him looks smarter than those two he thought. The next day something was odd, the subject 534 the goat was missing. The day after that more of his friends started disappearing and even more after that. What was going on? whatever it was he knew if he didn't escape now he might disappear next. So while no one was looking he decided to escape to the room labeled "vehicle construction" to build an escape vehicle. in there he found everything he needed, most parts were too big for him but he managed to make a small enough mech for himself and escaped. He snuck aboard a cargo shuttle and himself with his mech in a large crate. Later he heard some sounds outside the crate. It sounded like the crate he was inside was being stolen. when the crate was open he saw a pirate crew he then quickly got in the mech and used it to communicate with the pirates. After some time he decided to join them. Eve. Nothing much is known about her and her father, not even their real names. According to them, they are the last surviving members of their species and will pay good money if the pirates take them to the place indicated on their map.

Greetings fellow EB members, I am happy to introduce you to the crew of the "Misfits"! The Misfits by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Captain K.O. and CK-D3 by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Captain Kurogame Oroku aka Captain K.O. Captain K.O. was not originally destined for piracy as dancing was his first passion. He particularly had a thing for 80's Earth pop music and in his prime, he was the lead actor of a troupe that was playing a musical based on Michael Jackson's Captain EO. His interpretation of the famous space opera was praised across several galaxies. Then, one day, tragedy struck and K.O. lost a leg during a rehearsal in a freak accident. Sadly, this was the end of his stage career - indeed, try doing the moonwalk with a peg leg. But, as his grandpa always said, when life gives you bualafru, you make bualafru juice. And so began his second career, reality caught up with fiction and K.O. became the captain of the fierce pirate crew of the "misfits". When in the mood, K.O. occasionally still breaks into a convincing interpretation of "another part of me", and his crew kindly pretends that he still got the moves. CK-D3 CK-D3 is your standard pirate crew maintenance droid. The thing is though, Captain K.O. won him at a cards game and his previous owner was not totally upfront about his quirks. The deal was good, but the detail that was not advertised is that CK-D3 is stuck in "Mexican mood" demo mode. Let's just say that it was a bit jarring at first to be pillaging and plundering away with a robot blasting away mariachi tunes, but the crew got used to it and even got him a hat to complete the ensemble. Willy Wheelie and Coco by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Willy Wheelie Willy is definitely not the sharpest tool in the shed. Actually, he probably is the dullest. But that's ok, if you hit things hard enough with a heavy hammer, things tend to go your way eventually. Coco Coco is the misfit's navigator and the result of a failed experiment that mixed growth hormones and aggressive behavior modification therapy. The result is an angry giant bird who likes to blow things up occasionally. Thankfully, he still has a great sense of direction... but don't try to give him a cookie. Octavio and Jade by Gregory Coquelz, on Flickr Octavio aka Squid Shame As the firstborn of the mob boss from the largest SOC (Space Octopus Cartel), Octavio was destined for great things in the family business. Unfortunately, his mom had an affair with a member of a rival Space Shark gang, and as result, he was born a half breed. Octavio was promptly outcasted from his clan. Is he still losing his ink over it? Let's just say that I wouldn't recommend bringing this topic up. He's the kind to hold a grudge, and his sharpshooter skills are unrivaled. Jade If you thought being a Mantis was tough already with all the stigmas surrounding the mate eating business, try living as an outspoken gay vegan one. Yeah, she had it rough. She still loves to slice things up however, so it's best to stay on her good side. Thank you to the EB staff for arranging this fun contest, and good luck to all!

Captain Darkbluebeard and the Kraken's crew is attacking Spaceport Phillips, a small Imperial Armada's outpost in the outer asteroid belt. Small builds I started just 2 hours before leaving for a Lego exhibition. Not completely happy with them, but I think it's the best I could do in such a short time and not so much bricks left...

Location: G10 Onix Tags: Vehicle, Spaceship, Building Last time, in Ender's story: Kawacycle Kanto Park Secretary, let my sister know I'll be visiting her lab will you? Right away Sir. Meanwhile, Mr. Graver is about to find out that he's not the only menace in space. There were space pirates about and they had caught wind that there was a convoy of ships ripe for the taking. Surrender your fleet now or prepare to be destroyed! Of course, allow me to send over an envoy to negotiated the terms of our surrender. Just like that? Really? I'm not stupid, I don't want to die today. You're the envoy? Are you prepared to surrender the fleet to me? No, but I am prepared to kill you. Wait, that's not how this is supposed to go! Guards, attack! You'll have to destroy me and my army of bettlebots. AAAAHHHHH!!!!! glurg... glurg...

Hey Eurobricks space! Posting my second MOC to this site. I really like to focus on playability and would love to hear your feedback on my designs :) This one is based on the Cutlass Black from the upcoming Star Citizen game. Though I do not play the game's current alpha, I love some of the art concepts. In the Star Citizen lore, the Cutlass Black is the model of Cutlass ship ideal for pirating - a balance of guns, maneuverability, and storage. A conveniently named model to be employed by Lego's leading space antagonists! Rugged jack-of-all trades. Armed with two smaller front guns and two pivotable cannons for the gunner on top with fully pivoting powerful engines. I really wanted to make the top turret spinnable, but adding that function would have taken the main gunner area further out of scale. I settled with pivoting up or down and giving the gunner access to the station from the main hold. The ammo boxes for the main guns seemed like a good place for a hit of yellow. I went through a few iterations on the front cockpit, this combo felt appropriate for a narrow but tall front area. I had a lot of the black 8x4 wing pieces from my childhood and felt that this would be a good opportunity to use them for the "belly" shaping of the ship. Really wanted to incorporate functional landing gear and compact axles felt appropriate. I wanted to get some playability in the engines and went with a gearbox rotating them in opposite directions, accessible from the rear middle of the ship. I felt this captures the feel of a very maneuverable craft which excels at dogfighting despite having a decently sized cargo hold. Plenty of space inside, even to take a nap. The side panels include rotating thrusters and removable for easy access. Blacktron mercenary team left to right: Earl the Engineer armed with laser cutter for breaching spacecraft during pirating. Sniper Stacey takes care of those pesky defense drones and spacewalking troops deployed by a target ship. Wally the Warlord bosses everyone around, worries about finances, and holds a ceremonial weapon. Assault Andy armed with a shield, laser shotgun, and intimidating helmet. First one clearing rooms during a breaching operation. Heavy Weapons Helga armed with rocket launcher and heavy machine laser for when things get dicey inside a target ship.

From the Diary of Captain Abraham Mayhew, July 14,1733 It has been eight days since my ship crashed upon the rocks of this desolate island. I have found an abandoned garrison stocked with supplies and weapons and am now patrolling the roof, searching for passing ships on the horizon. I raised the old pirate flag I always kept hidden in my cabin this morning in hopes that it may be noticed by a sharp-eyed sailor, but these waters are infrequently traveled and I fear I may be marooned here for some time. Luckily I have some company in a monkey I found stealing my lunch the other day. I have decided to call him Wilson, after my deceased father.

Hello everyone, I just went through the dark age (15 years) with this pirate crew : the green corsairs. My first member of the crew is the Captain. He was a soldier of the Empire as his armour shows it. After several fights, he lost one of his leg and one eye during the worst battle star against renegades. After that, Imperial Army forced him to retire. Then, disilillusioned, he decided to become a pirate and he gathered few men around him to find gold and glory around the galaxy. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/16691005964/ The Ugly joined the captain during a hard fight far far away at the borders of the galaxy. With his experience, he became the navigator of the corsair fleet. He assists the captain during all the fights as his green shadow. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/17125679448/ The Son is obviously the captain's son. He joined his father after failing the imperial army school. During a fight, he was contaminated by a substance and lost his hand. Now he has to stay in his pimped spacesuit. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/17311624832/ The Green Widow is the captain's daughter. She married an imperial lord fleet commander who died during war against aliens. After that she joined her father and became the Green Widow with is two steel sabers from an old planet named Earth. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/16691005694/ The Priest is an old astrotech who believes in the "deus ex machina". Despite his little height, he is a brisk warrior who learned from the bests as his teacher, a little green alien named Yoda... He can also repair all ships and shuttles. At his spare time, he tries to build mecawarrior as his master piece : the Robot. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/17313016291/ The Robot is the last warrior of this crew. This mecawarrior is driven by the spirit of a dead pirate. https://www.flickr.com/photos/132090192@N03/17125679928/ I hope you'll enjoy it. Next time, I 'll try to take better pictures and use photoshop.

Raid on the Shi-Quak settlement Because of the heavy damage to their spaceship (SS Retrebution), Capt' Ahab is forced to make a landing on one of the 7 moons of Nuytura. While the mechbots start repairing the ship, Ahab sends out Garekk and Talking' to-ME to scout the surface of the moon. They found out that there is a small Shi-Quak settlement. Ahab decides to make a raid on the settlement to stock their supplies (and to keep his crew from revolting). because of the lenght of my DIO (triplet) I hab to make a compilation of 3 images, that's the reason why the perspective is not correct :( some details of the skiff ...details of the jetbikes ....and some details of the wall Hope you like my entry. steentje

Star Captain Star Captain likes to think of himself as the group's leader, but for the past few years he's become a recluse, sitting out missions in his hoverchair while the rest of the crew goes on adventures without him. He's thinking about retiring from the pirate life and becoming a construction worker, or maybe a raptor trainer. Lady Gamma Lady Gamma is the crew's chief weapons designer and war correspondent. Her habit of building guns that promptly blow up in their users' faces has labelled her as the 'Deadliest Woman in the Galaxy'. Roger the Cabin Boy Roger the Raccoon-Boy was found digging around in the galley's garbage chute. Instead of throwing him out or putting him in the dinner pot, the crew decided to adopt him as their cabin boy. While there's no doubt that he can cook a mean stew, the others wish that he would start wearing pants. GORT GORT used to be king of an entire race of tree-squids, but turned pirate once they realized he was selling them out to a paper company and ran him off the planet. The crew now uses him to store all the treasure they steal acquire. The only words he ever says are 'garble garble'; the others think he's just being weird, but the truth it that he can't speak because his mouth is full of treasure. Destructor He used to be called Steve the Sunny Space Skull, but after his planet was destroyed by the Dread Pirate Ronan, a venomous rage was unleashed inside him and he became known as Destructor. Wielding twin daggers, Destructor will obliterate everything and everyone in his path. He's a lot of fun at parties. Saurokan The Dread Pirate Ronan was infamous for extracting the life essence from innocent seamen and placing them inside robotic bodies, effectively building an army of slaves. The only remnant of their former lives as honest sailors is their penchant for wearing colorful bandannas.

Shipwreck Encampment: Deep among the dunes of a vast alien desert, a long forgotten shipwreck basks in the searing extraterrestrial sunlight. Seeking refuge from pursuing authorities, a band of scoundrelish space pirates has made their camp here. A line of speeder exhaust stretches through across the desert to the hideout, denoting the arrival of a shipment of the pirates treasure... Haven't posted here in a while! Here's my entry to the Space Pirates Contest. I usually build castle, so doing a space moc was a fun challenge, but something I've been wanting to do for a while. Thanks for checking it out! ;) Soli Deo Gloria!
