JackJonespaw Posted January 28, 2023 Posted January 28, 2023 Arctic Ascender - Ice Planet Vx559 - Krysto is a hostile planet for humans. Temperatures range from cold to really, really cold. If you’re not inside an Ice Station, you’d better hope you’re inside a warm, toasty, flying ship. And no ship is better at getting around Krysto than the Vx559. But the crew calls it a more informal name - the Arctic Ascender. The Arctic Ascender is mainly used for surveying the landscape of Krysto. A buzzsaw runs through the center of the ship to chew through ice. A satellite dish can send a map of the nearby landscape to the Ice Station. While it’s not as agile as it’s companion, the Deep Freeze Defender, the Arctic Ascender is more comfortable, more secure, and more suited to tackle Krysto’s most extreme areas. I had a lot of fun building this one! It has some really strange angles, and it's not as stable as I would prefer, but I'm really happy with the result. This thing is a TANK, more like a military transport plane than a more nible jet like the Deep Freeze Defender. It pays to have a diverse fleet when on the freezing planet of Krpyto! Quote
Blip Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 Definitely has a heavy dropship vibe, love it! Quote
Alpha Bernini Posted January 29, 2023 Posted January 29, 2023 What a beast! Great idea to incorporate the ice saw! Quote
Feuer Zug Posted January 30, 2023 Posted January 30, 2023 Nailed the Ice Planet 2002 scheme. That is quite a large ship. Looks great. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted February 2, 2023 Posted February 2, 2023 Looks exactly how an Ice Planet build should! The shape is really good, looks both heavy and swift. Quote
Operacion Saturno Posted February 3, 2023 Posted February 3, 2023 Would be a great update for the theme. Quote
ricci229 Posted February 9, 2023 Posted February 9, 2023 Does Vx559 have a specific meaning? The angles make the spaceshift look slightly organic, very nice. Quote
