[MOC / SHIP] A.S. Desert Rain

[elfprince13]

A highly manueverable corvette with complement of two Hylopetes-class starfighters.

Standard crew complement of 7 bridge officers, 3 pilots, and 3 maintenance droids.

Armament includes 4 heavy plasma beam cannons, 4 light plasma beam cannons, and 6 point-defense ion burst turrets, and 4 graviton torpedo projectors.

Weapons and engines are both powered by a Callisto Shipyard's Mk. XLII Stellarator.

Play features include:
- Functioning turbolift allowing crew members to traverse the change in local gravity between decks.
- Pull-out bed in the brig allows for both efficient space utilization and humane treatment of prisoners.
- Fully retractable forward hull sections provide access to the bridge and hangar deck.
- Removable roof on the middle hull sections provide access to the turbolift.
- Retractable walls in the rear hull section provide access to the reactor, maintenance bay, and brig.

Other notes: although this was created in BrickSmith, besides the extravagant choice of brick colors and light-up features, the entire ship is structurally sound and should be physically realizable in a different palette.

Amazing model!

Thanks! =)

At first I literary couldn't get head nor tail of the design, but it definitely is impressive.
The flow of its lines are very smooth, making it difficult to grasp its size.

Impressive!  I like the view into the bridge/control center through the large windows.

With both the main ship and the fighters, the main engines are the dishes in the narrower section to the rear.

In the main ship, the center of gravity is towards the central red plane, so the "turbolift" between the bridge/reactor and hangar/brig levels just 180ºs you through the floor.

Thanks, getting a forward viewport to transition smoothly into the rest of the curved hull sections was honestly the hardest part of the build, so I'm glad you enjoyed it!
