Day 18: Angular. I figured this suited the red fleet best, and I wanted to give it another $3 cruiser, this time with a torpedo launcher. I considered a 45° rotation of the sharp, angled pieces, but didn't want it to look too similar to day 15. I like the result. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26

Spaceshiptember Day 18: Fighter

"The Sciamach fighter program bore different names between it's design teams. Needle, Lotus, Pike, Casket. This stealthy approach and compartmentalization would be the shape of things to come."

Entering service during the tail end of the first Xenonian world war, the VDSS Novantique was the first regularly produced class of military vessel during the second Vogel space age. #spaceshiptember #SST26

Way behind schedule, but not giving up.

The Acinonyx is a Customs Patrol version of an Alliance destroyer with less armament, more autonomy and two gigs for inspection. The living quarters' counterweight houses a sensor array.

#18 Angular.

No lore for this one, I had no idea what to do for the prompt, and so I just made a flying right angle. Kinda reminds me of synthwave music videos. I'm not sure it fits in 5KS, but it was fun to make.

#Spaceshiptember Day 17: Variant
Facing shortages of support craft in the latter half of the war, the Cosmonavy introduced the Type-Sikarr support package for Geuak Ma fighters. Sikarr gunships boast complex propulsion typically only seen in Zethrite vehicles, as well as two articulated siege guns.

Explorers called areas where nuclear fusion didn't work "no-fusion-zones", or NFZs. Batteries allowed for a fairly clean retrofit, but had a limited capacity compared to fusion cores.

Ships usually went back to the violence of chemical propulsion.

Spaceshiptember Day 17: Destroyer

"Keeping a ship which stalked your ship and crew for years as a model on your desk isn't for every Captain. A constant reminder to keep alert."

Day 17: Variant. Having replaced the build from day 4, I figured this was a good opportunity to repurpose the original hull. I adjusted the prow to better match later designs, differing slightly if the destroyer is armed with paired cannons or an energy weapon. #LEGO #Spaceshiptember #SST #SST26
