Shiptember 2022, Build 3, The LSS Beagle

After a freak A.I. malfunction aboard an Endurance-class Ring ship resulted in a lost ship including all hands, the Federation took pause to examine future ship designs and to ensure the problem never happened again. Undeterred, a simplier, cheaper, though less efficient, ship design was chosen. Careful attention during mission planning was critical for load balancing. However, the design proved to be a success.

 

The first of her class, the LSS Beagle was so named after the famous ship which transported Charles Darwin on his voyage of discovery.

 

My third build for Shiptember 2022.

Length: 119 studs.

Microfig scale

 

Features:

- Ship rotates on main axis to provide limited artificial gravity to a counter balanced crew module

- Spaceplane (crew return vehicle)

- Decent/ascent space craft

- Automated decent platform with "Moon Rover 2.0" payload
