Disruptor XL WIP 8: LDD Front Shell Detail
The Front shell was a pain to create, Aligning the triangular panels with the frame was difficult and took a while. Along the side are 6 fission beam turrets, 10 missile silos and the communications array. Along the there are 14 laser turrets and one Advanced Laser turret. In the middle, The Cloaking device sits close to the front, followed by the Advanced Laser Turret, then an Observation dome, and twin fuel scoops, used for collecting stellar gasses such as helium, oxygen, or hydrogen which can be conveted to fuel, water, or breathable air. All of this is mirrored on the belly. The Fuel Scoops took the longest for me to design, so long that it wasn't till early this year that I finally was able to scale them up from the previous model on which the fuel scoops were only comprised of 2 pieces each.
