IHS Rocktpula - Masked - White Background
[SHIPtember 2013 Entry; ParLUGment Crazy 88s Challenge]
[This image is pre-masked for inclusion in the SHIPtember poster -- background colour is white.]
The IHS Rocktopula was built in 3853 by the Indi Halton Space Hotel and Cruise Lines to travel at non-relativistic speeds between planets and moons in the Sigma Orionis system. It has a capacity of 1400 passengers and 600 crew. It is a luxury liner, with various entertainment and activity rooms along the central corridor, and front sections. Passengers can dine at one of luxury 10 restaurants, gamble their intergalactic credits at the casino, and partake in zero-G squash, zero-G laser tag and other sporting activities. Passengers are also able to take advantage of the Spa to rejuvenate, as well as slow-sleep beds for reduced aging on longer cruises. Two observation towers adorn the mid-section of the ship for passengers to take in interstellar and planetary sights.
The liner is 1550 metres long, and has a top speed of 2500 kilometres per second. It has 3 main docking ports: one opening into the front reception area where guests arrive, and two along the midsection for loading supplies and crew.
The liner is rated 4 stars by Intergalactic Cruising Monthly.
Notes on the build:
- Incorporates 88 Rock tops (Element ID: 4506778 - Design ID: 42284) as part of the ParLUGment Crazy 88s challenge
- Uses RC train track as the main structural element to gain the length and rigidity (I was surprised how strong it was)
- One-hand swooshable
- I don't usually do spaceships; this is my first SHIP
- 155 studs long, 41 studs wide, 25 studs high
