STREIFF
Planetary Resources Mining Drone Carrier "STREIFF" is another one of the "war horses" of the Planetary Resources (PR) mining flotilla.
After the war was over PR quickly bought a large number of unused war ships. The bankrupt governments of the newly formed Confederacy where eager to sell. This way PR could quickly start to mine the newly opened asteroid fields and establish themselves as one of the most powerful mining companies of the galaxy.
Streiff is a command ship that has been stripped down and rebuilt into at drone carrier. New additions are upgraded drone link arrays, rock analysis sensors and several different repair modules. Streiff can carry 30 medium mining drones in it's hold but can operate and control up to 200 drones simultaneously. Ore can be loaded inside it but the ship also has docking ports and connections for all kinds of transport ships and containers.
------------------------------------------------
Streiff took just about the entire month to build. I am a house owner and a father of two, so my building time is sparse. I had an entirely different kind of ship planned at first, but just a few days before September 1 I realized it would be too big and that I probably wouldn't be able to finish it.
So here it is! It's about 110 studs long. I have no idea about the amount of bricks used. Lot's of hinges though :)
