In the beginning of space travel, the ranges of FTL travel were limited to the drives themselves. As time went on, drives became more advanced and ships began to rely more on fuel. Captains had to pack their cargo holds with fuel or find somewhere to stop and refill.
Out on the Galactic Rim (where a hold full of cargo is an explosive possibility) independently minded people have been quick to take advantage. Like the hermit crabs of old Earth, purveyors of these refuelling depots find a suitable rock, burrow inside, set up basic life support and open as a going concern.
Captains usually set themselves up in very densely populated asteroid belts and have the ability to shut down all beacons and power and become undetectable at a moment's notice. The threat of fuel pirates are an ever present one and depot captains often contract mercenaries for protection during times of local upheaval.

(just another microscale stuff for an upcoming diorama)
The Tiberius class starships (motto: "...to explode new worlds, to seek out and destroy new life...") demonstrate beyond all doubt that Blacktron will appropriate any proven spacecraft design and adapt it for their own nefarious purposes.
Buildings for the micropolis standard promulgated by TwinLUG. Read more www.brickpile.com/2009/04/16/micropolis-buildings/.
I had a blast building these ships with my little bros. It was hard because we've never really had the experience of building at micro scale, but it was fun! I think however, that some of the ships are cooler in our head than they are in real life haha
At this point everyone knows I like messing around with weird parts. Here's the latest Frankenstein's Monster.
At Brickcon 2011 in Microscale
My first microscale MOC. Quick build (1 day) for Brickcon. Follows the TwinLUG Micropolis standard. I was not really sure how to make the trees, so I went simple and just did cones, but I got some good ideas at Brickcon.
Inspired by the use of Technic Panels in Pierre E Fieschi's 'Breacher L.A.C.' and by 40K Imperial ships.

This rough looking ship does what other ships are not equipped to do, discover hyperspace lanes. Outfitted with thousands of sensors, receivers, and spectrometers this craft was built to find the next space highway that will transport colonists and merchants to new systems and expand humanity's existence to parts unknown. While dangerous, the reward can be substantial.
This is my somewhat belated Homage to the late nnenn, a fantastic builder whose stuff I’ve had a look through. I found this and liked it so much that I decided to build my own interpretation.

A 1:125 scale ship. It has a full interior as always. Though there is space for the bed and toilet I don't have the pieces for them. This is also why the ship is blue not grey.
The landing gear retracts though not very well. there is also a engine room added from the cross section of the ship. It is removable to access the lower cargo hold.
The lower hatch is also there but it is kept closed to keep the 3 stud wide part of the ship and the 4 stud wide part of the ship together.
English :
Following massive assaults against its trade ships, the Space Classic Federation started to build defense vessels. Then, the strategy moved slowly towards offense with the creation of heavily armed and armored fighters. The Solar Shadow was the result of this strategy as they were sent alone or in small groups to raid the Blacktron positions. They became famous with their ambush tactics that consisted in sending a decoy trade ship while remaining hidden in the light and turbulences of the nearby star. When the attackers were busy with the decoy, the Solar Shadow swoop down on their prey and destroyed them all. The rare Blacktron pilots that survived these raids gave these ships their name.

Français:
Suite aux attaques répétées contre ses navires marchands, la fédération Space Classic s’est dotée petit à petit de vaisseaux pouvant défendre ses flottes jusque là sans défense. Mais l’étape suivante a été la création d’une flotte pro active de puissants chasseurs lourds. Le Solar Shadow illustre parfaitement ce retournement de stratégie. Ces vaisseaux lourdement armés et blindés mais extrêmement maniables étaient envoyés seuls ou par petits groupes afin de procéder à des raids contre les espions Blacktrons. Ils se sont particulièrement illustrés grâce à des embuscades où ils utilisaient de vieux vaisseaux marchands vides comme appâts tandis qu’ils se dissimulaient dans la lumière aveuglante et les turbulences de l’étoile la plus proche. Lorsque des agresseurs attaquaient le leurre, ils fondaient sur leur proie et les abattaient quasiment tous. Les rares Blacktron qui ont survécu à leurs attaques éclair leur ont donné leur nom.

For my science class we had to write a report on an energy source and for honors credit make a model of the energy source's power generator. I realized that a Lego model of a wind turbine would be the easiest solution so I picked wind energy. Since this is for school it's nothing really fancy.
The Galactic Rim is not home to cutting edge and modern technology, by definition. A significant time after the introduction of drone technology to interstellar exploration and combat within the Core Systems, the idea is beginning to catch on along the Rim.
Named after a Japanese beast of folklore, the IDS Ningyo is a modern drone deployment corvette for fire. The two computer-assisted flak turrets are purely for point defence. The real edge provided by the Ningyo is it's two drone deployment bays. The crew is trained to control, maintain and manipulate a wide variety of drone types, from combat models to logistics and salvage types.
Generally hired by smaller governments to provide high-tech support to their traditional navies, the Ningyo is respected by allies and feared by enemies. With such scant protection, however, it requires careful escort to keep safe and operational.
