First Armed Fleet

[VitorFaria]

My first fully playable IO fleet.

Nothing spectacular, but built to be functional and somewhat versatile.

These have a nice utilitarian look to them. Also, are they meant to be space police? Because that's what the colored lights make me think of.

Thanks, Gusindor!

They can be, but not necessarily. I gave the carrier those colored lights months ago because I thought it looked cool. When I decided to make a full fleet to go with it I kept the theme.

I can also see them as being like those orientation lights aircraft use. Probably pretty helpful for coordinating movement.

That's really a feasible explanation, they're usually green/red instead of blue/red but it can pass the idea still.


I decided to give the support frigate an Atavism-style catapult.

I thought that my frames were way too compacted together so I decided to spread them a little and also gave the ace some visible company partners.

Also built a new HVA.

Really liking those micro quads.

Those frigates remind me of this. Nice job on the fleet, I'm really liking the Cargo Haulers and the Space Station.

Thanks! It was a silly idea that I couldn't resist, but ended up liking a lot.

Thanks, and that's a really nice dropship!

I agree. Very rarely does a micro figure truly match what it represents, but you pulled it off nicely.

That space station is lovely. Nicely done on the whole 'maybe things in space shouldn't look like boats' vibe.

I have a question: how did you photograph your fleet? I, uh, might be taking some pictures of some pretty lego spaceships soon, and I was curious what you did.

I simply used a big white paper sheet partially taped to a wall and a pair of lamps with white thin plastic grocery bags over them. Nothing all that profissional.
