Just Some Random Ships

The SaishuMe (Translated as 'Last Eye') is a unique Ijad vessel. Several SaishuMe's were responsible for the transmission jammer blanket during the Zeinth Outpost Attack several years ago. Though each were equipped with a Sting Beam Laser, direct combat was not the SaishuMe's focus. Instead their primary purpose was electronic warfare and countermeasures. Equipped with a pair of communication arrays, this vessel is able to interrupt enemy transmissions, and also locate and target vessels outside most ships standard scanning ranges. Paired with long range attack vessels, the SaishuMe has proven to be a deadly support ship for Ijadhi BattleFleets.


SaishuMe (Last Eye): Sting Beam Laser, Dual Scanner Arrays, Frigate Engines.

I've decided to try my hand at making another Star Wars vessel designs into scale for Intercept Orbit play. I've checked online for ideas on how to brick this one but I was surprised by how few micro/mini builds of this ship appeared. Hopefully this will help bridge that gap.
Also, since VitorFaria has been know to convert Star Wars vessels for IO, if he has already post one of these, then I apologize for stepping on any toes.

This is the Nebulon class B Escort Frigate, also known as the 'Medical Frigate' seen at the end of "The Empire Strikes Back" and throughout "Return of the Jedi". While doing research of this vessel, I discovered this ship was originally meant to be an Imperial Escort for Imperial transport and cargo ships, but several of the Nebulons fell into Rebel hands and converted for their own uses. I am not a Huge Star Wars fan by any means, but I find this little tidbit interesting since most of the Star Wars universe I'm familiar with is through the movies if not much else.


Nebulon-B: Armored Medical Bay, Multiple Scanner Antenna Arrays, Frigate Engines.

I do apologize if the proportions are off and the color scheme is unusual, but after several test schemes, this was perhaps my favorite. I am eager to hear opinions on this one.

Beautiful Nebulon B, Artasid!

Arguably better looking than the one from the movies, since you made the tight corridor between the front and back sections of the ship more subtle. It looks way more solid and practical!

Thanks for the excellent building night I was awfully in need of, Artasid!

Here is yet another Star Wars vessel scaled down for Intercept Orbit. I think I've seen others post this in the hanger before but I could not remember, so I decided to post one of my own. I apologize for any inconveniences this may cause (if any)


Hammerhead: Turbolaser, Armored Hull, Dense Armor, Frigate Engines.

This one was a fun build, and if anyone is interested in bricking their own, I'll include an LDD file

Yet another Star Wars vessel for Intercept Orbit

Man I've been on a Star Wars binge lately haven't I?

This is not your standard warship, but a High Value Asset (HVA), a GR-75 Medium Transport vessel.



I first noticed this ship as one of vessels that slipped past the Imperial blockade surrounding Hoth in 'The Empire Strikes Back' and seen again throughout 'Return of the Jedi'. This build was rather very easy and uses some common to find parts, no T-Pieces, Taps, or Travis' anywhere! I am half tempted to make some more combat equipped ones later one, but we'll see where it takes us.

But what REALLY surprised me about this build, was that Lego Digital Designer was able to allow me to replicate it's construction without issues. Here's an LDD for anyone interested. I HIGHLY suggest taking a look at this one as it seems rather perfect for beginners and newer builders.

Sorry it took me a while, but I have finally made an updated variant of the GR-75 Medium Transport ship from Star Wars. Still roughly the same size as my previous build, this one has slightly more detail more accurate to the movies. I will note however, that the coloring is off because of the fact I am lacking in correct color parts.



LDD File

This one, like the previous one before it, is also a good starting build for new beginners. It has mostly common to find parts and not a single Travis, Tap, or T-Piece anywhere.

This next random ship is NOT from Star Wars.
GASP!!
lol
Actually, this one is from the PC games FreeSpace. It was an attempt to make a Shivan Demon-Class Destroyer. It's not exact, nor is it true to the source material (in the PC game, it is considered a Capitol Ship, whereas this one I bricked is more Frigate class) but I am happy the way it turned out.


Demon Destroyer: Beam Railgun, Heavy Armored Plates, Flak Tubes, Frigate Engines.

EDIT:
Here's an LDD file for anyone interested in bricking their own.

That really looks solid and menacing, and arguably even better than the source material!

[Artasid]

My dive into FreeSpace games continues as I have bricked 5 more ships from the series. Most of these are not exact, but they are as close to the source material I could get them (parts permitting.)


Orion: Beam Cannon, Assault Turret, 1d6K Catapult with company, Frigate Engines


Sobek: Dual Beam Cannons, Flak Defense Tube, Frigate Engines


Hatshepsut: Beam Cannon, Assault Turret, Armor Plates, Frigate Engines


Iceni: Multiple Assault Turrets, Sensor Fin, Frigate Engines


Sathanas: Pincers, Extra Hardened Carapace, Frigate Engines.

I was just having some fun experimenting when I happened upon the central core of this next build. I would have liked to use a different color scheme, but this was the best I could do given my current available parts.


Jacki-N-Bx: Point Defense EMP Emitter, Multiple Assault Range Beam Cannons, Frigate Engines.

Sorry I do not have anything in terms of backstory for this one. I've been busy with other things to concentrate on story elements. Sorry

Following the hugely popular success of the Deimos class corvette, the developers attempted to repeat their triumpth with the more modern and newer design they have christened, Enyalios


Enyalios: Support Turret, Multiple Hardened Armor Plates, Comm Relay

There are many spectators that feel this newest design is a cheap copy of the Deimos and most likely will come up short in performances if tested against the tried and true predecessor. However, despite these arguments, the Enyalios has performed admirably in its assigned tasks and several wartime commanders feel that it will be a successor to the Deimos. Numerous debates have gotten heated to the point of rioting over which design is the more capable over the other.

As a bonus, here's an LDD file for anyone interested in bricking their own. It uses no Travis, Taps or T-pieces and most of the core parts are very common.

i hav question. is the new red ship Enylois gonna replace the daimos? or you keeping both?

For a long while now, I've been meaning to take a shot at bricking some of the IO vessels that are found in the Intercept Orbit rulebook, however, until recently, (and to a minor extent, still) I did not have the right parts to even attempt them. I finally was able to try to brick the Ijad Frigate, Ojebed.


Ojebed: Dual Sting Laser Cannons, Frontal Targeting Array, Frigate Engines.

Of course it is not perfect as some parts had to be replaced, but overall I do not think it's a bad attempt. It also sets the groundwork for possible future builds, but we'll see where it goes from here.

Another ship from the IO rulebook I've been wanting to build is the Liberator. However, one thing stops me from doing so, and that is the fact that I cannot,for the life of me, find that large spherical part used for the underside core of the build (Sorry, I have NO idea what it's part name or number is).
However, lack of parts leads to inventions, so I decided to try and make one where the spherical underbelly is implied, and thus, the Mini Liberator was created!


Mini Lib: Flak Cannon and Torpedo Tubes, Comm Relay, Frigate Engines.

I like this one a lot as it uses more common and readily avalible parts than the original.
As a side note, as of this posting, I realized I used the wrong sized base for this frigate and I will correct that, so please don't hate me too much for this oversight.

I'll even include an LDD for anyone interested in making their own.

It's . It showed up most often in Star Wars kits, as I recall.
