CMP Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 After my venture on Barnius and an appropriately romantic interrogation with Special Agent Dynarski I was transferred to Yallorn II, to test out a new rocket propulsion system built into my fuel pack and funneled into my boots, courtesy of the science nerds. Probably Big Sal. The rocks jutting out of this sea are nice to fly around, but in the dead of night a nearby speeder got my attention - nobody else was authorized to use this flyspace, it was designated for testing only. I had Sixer track its movements - for some reason it didn't give off electromagnetic readings, but luckily its engines were in overdrive so thermal imaging did the trick - and soon enough we were quick in pursuit. This propulsion system has some sick acceleration. Turns out the reason we can't see it so easily is because it's experimental stealth speeder, meant for quick recon incursions into enemy territory no more than ten meters above surface level. Sixer's picking up a communication from the science post I was assigned to test at, looks like they found a few bodies and the craft they were testing is confirmed to be missing. They're feeding me intel on how to exploit its flaws, but damn is this pilot smart. I have the advantage weaving between these rocks, but they prevent any easy reinforcement deployment. The only thing quick enough to reach us is a fighter, and they can't get down in here. For now, I'm on my own. I'm catching up, whoever the hell this guy is, he's in Kawashita colors, haven't dealt with them in a while. Suit's nearly overheating, I've pushing the propulsion far longer than advised. Adjusting weapon for a controlled burst, moving into range. Direct hit on- he's returning fire, performing evasive maneuvers. He's going down, Sixer's getting an ID on- he has a gun, taking- propulsion system damaged, losing altitude, Sixer, upload coordinates of lastlastlastlastlastlast [DATA CORRUPTED] Not the best editing, but this scene is bigger than my photo setup and I had to remove a lot of supports. Pretty happy for my first real sci-fi vehicle. Quote
Blackhawk STX Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Nicely done! We'll just have to inprove our stealh tech... Quote
aeralure Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Great action sequence! Really like the vehicle. Good job on that. I also have love for the parrot just kinda hanging out mid-battle. Quote
pombe Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Fantastic action scene! I love the dynamic feel and the flame work! And lol with the parrot. Quote
Big Sal Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 Nice action build! You've got to wonder if a flamethrower is the best weapon for aerial combat, but that's just how M.A.N.T.I.S. special forces roll I guess Quote
Mr Greeble Posted June 15, 2015 Posted June 15, 2015 A flamethrower? Sure, why the hell not, we are M.A.N.T.I.S. after all! Quote
soccerkid6 Posted June 16, 2015 Posted June 16, 2015 Superb posing of the space craft and fig Really neat jetpack design too Quote
