Stupid Fat Fingers

  Colonial Authority Frontier   Introduction This was one of those builds that just came together. I was itching to build that evening and I had some thoughts about how the "white space" of a ship is just as powerful as filling in the empty places with habs or structural pieces.  The head canon came because I had just finished to first few missions of the Vanguard questline and decided that I wanted to mount the Obliterators. I don't usually fall back on them, but this character is rather high level and I've used plenty of other weapon combinations. As I was talking to Vae Victis, it struck me and not for the first time, that he is criminal mastermind material left to rot as a glorified Mission terminal. Well, one thing led to another and the head canon was created. I figure, if Bethesda is going to create a multiverse of identical universes, it's up to us to throw in the variety.   Head Canon/Lore In one of the infinite universes that make up the multiverse, Vae

  Trade Authority Caiman   Introduction WARNING :  This ship uses extensive merging techniques to combine the Reactor, Fuel and Grav Drive together. The Engines are also merged together. Rather than try to explain each step, please visit Crimson Flyboy's  tutorial video on merging . I used Flip and Drop Merging technique on this build . The Trade Authority Caiman just started out as an experiment to see just how far I was willing to take the whole merging thing. I really didn't have a story for it. I made it, flew it around a bit, and went back to the Dependable, which is featured both as another entry on my blog and a Crimson Flyboy video. For literal months it just sat there in the character's roster of ships until I was scrolling through them one day and noticed that the Caiman and the Greenback had similar color schemes. As often happens, I started thinking about how they would work together and the connections became pretty obvious. The Caiman is very much an escort/

  Trade Authority Greenback Introduction The Trade Authority Greenback is the product of a Starfield Anonymous Discord Build-Off challenge. Crimson Flyboy challenged the community to build a Trade Authority vessel and the Greenback was my submission.   Head Canon/Lore The Trade Authority has always experimented with ships customized to suit their particular needs. A recent addition was a contract for a dozen ships that could move a large amount of cargo, to include delicate parcels. A sub-contract with Gal-bank necessitated the ability to encrypt data, so a Computer Room was included in the plans. Finally, the Trade Authority sometimes deals in materials of questionable legality. Counter-scanning measures with incorporated into the design schematics. This new class of vessel is known as the Greenback, after the period slang for the currency of the defunct United States of America, back on Earth. Each vessel was painted in the Trade Authority Green, Yellow, and Gray palette, reinforcing

  Copinger   Introduction We recently lost one of our members of the Starfield Anonymous Discord. Before his passing, he posted a Build-Off challenge to make ships based on the Expanse TV series. This prompted me to watch the Expanse and I can totally see why he wanted to build around this incredible series. This build uses Ballistics and Missiles only. The missiles are ideal for stripping shields and the ballistics are used to finish off the enemy. This wasn't built with fully developed in-game lore. I designed it to be a smuggler ship but haven't really developed any sort of cast of characters. I didn't know what to name it, so I looked up famous smugglers and came across a British character known as Cruel Copinger. Thus the ship got its name.   Components   (2x) 500 He3 Tank (4x) Hope 6 Landing Gear, 2 Fore/2 Mid (2x) Accu-Lander 11 Landing Gear Stroud-Eklund All-in-One Berth A 2x1 NG-6 Landing Bay (3) Supernova 2100 Engines Theta Pinch D9 Reactor (4x) Jishaku Nd RF Rapi
