Alright. so, technically, I've always been open. But due to having a perpetually full queue, I rarely advertise myself.

That has changed lately, so I'm branching out and diversifying.

If you have questions or a submission, send me a message, DMs always open!

Somewhere, in a small fringe of the Orion Spur, two powers converge upon the Solar Gap.

Maneuvering a warship has always been more about planning and maintenance anyway!

i doubt it could replace the need to have an RCS system, but with the idea that your main drives are always going to be more powerful and efficient than your RCS system, it might remove the need to use it beyond minor adjustments/port maneuvers

I feel like with an articulated rig and good computing you could actively keep the charge aligned in all sorts of odd situations, or at least, work to counteract the misaligned force as it is banked and then spent.

Ok so the pitch is: what happens if I articulated an Orion drive?

yeah we havent thought up a name for it officially yet

This has been commissioned from me to add into my nebulous mod, i may have added something like it eventually, but someone didn't want to wait that long, so they are paying for me to make it now, and to have a say in how it gets developed.

Antennas are such a good way to finish off a silhoutte in a way that can be as subtle or as flashy as you need it to be!

A Transitional capital ship design, name still pending

The success of the Tidehunter FSV raised many questions about doctrine that would start to be explored by later concepts

This FAV cuts out the parallel armor belt and adopts a hullform more like a scaled-up subcapital vessel

Arkgneese fashion seldom includes pockets of any kind. A resilient holdover from times before climate conditioning, where the heat would force many to wear too little clothing to include them.

Instead, carry harnesses are worn on the tail, in many modular or 'single piece' varieties

Been working on a super stylized low-poly version of the big man's model for a few weeks now.

Also to concerted effort at exploring what fashion might look like in a culture that regularly enjoys 150°f temps during the hot season and heavy rainfall all year long.

Fewer people voted for Trump this time around then they did the last time, the Dems just actively torched the mandate they had been handed by refusing to offer their constituency anything at all and pander to a right wing who will never vote for them

Wait hold up is the game top down?

#mechatober2025 17, Duelist.

Had a very wild train of thought going for this one; an oversized revolver with a basket hilt wrapped around the mech's body.

It's not a combat mech, but designed exclusively for competition shooting (at another mech).
