Safeties Off! Prepare to FIRE!
Feared warship from the coral city of Argom on Shesta Prime.
About this creation
Shesta Prime has fostered other forms of sea-faring craft. The Beetle Crab is the feared warship from the coral city of Argom. It is based on the gigantic predator that still threatens the city.
Command bridge and communications are on the spine.
Appearing studly to some, bubble bump shielding provides powerful redundant blast shielding and also work as view ports. The shell designed for undersea also gives impressive protection.
The fat body houses the massive generator/capacitors.
Massive Arc Lightning Cannons used powerful pulse lasers to borrow a hole through the sea for the lightning arc to be delivered by wired missile. In space, the lasers are used independently.
Note rear laser cannon behind arc gun and smart flechette point defense below them.
The plasma cannon can rapid fire low charge bolts thar are useful for smoke screen like pyrotechnics in the ocean or in space.
With swivel drive engines as powerful as a space tug, the beetle crab is extremely manueverable.
The hyperspace drives were retrofitted to make it space mobile.
Shown are three plasma cannon, missile tubes in head, and lightning arc guns. This attack destroyer has a crew of 12 with optional contingent of 18 marines.
Ramming Speed!
The pincer scores a critical strike on a Seraco frigate engine, immobilizing it. The pincers are also used to inject marines for boarding actions.
Needs more decent angle shots to really display the shape, but as far as I can tell it looks pretty cool, though somewhat cluttered. Incidentally I never thought of putting binoculars into the bottom of a 2 x 1 tile.
pretty nice. I like the front quite a bit, but I think that more blue plates would help round out this craft. Review some of my stuff, If you get the chance.
