Sometimes, a navy wants a rugged, old-fashioned capital ship which dish out punishment and take even more. The newer navies and militaries consider this view quite out of date, and the FG-10 is a successful product of this modern warfare.
SyncTech, a Sweedish-Korean company, produced the vessel for their respective navies, but it has been produced under licence for several other states, and the idea copied by even more.
A true stand-off weapon, the ship is minimally armed for conventional ship-to-ship (STS) and anti-fighter warfare. It's main potency comes from the four cruise missile launchers, able to fire in serial or in sequence, at other ships, at space platforms or planets. Although slow enough to be destroyed by specialised point defence cannons, the FG-10 is able to destroy much without having to get into cannon range at all.
At close-range, the Frigate is no match for a ship as small as the BB-22, but with proper escort and intelligent use, it can be used as an anti-capital ship threat, as well as to destroy space platforms and assault entire planets.
Length: 220m
Crew: 74.
Armament: 4 x fast tracking ion turrets, 2 x Quad STS flak cannon.
2 x dual Sorsvig-class Cruise Missile batteries. Limited ammunition.

Did you get the latest LEGO Architect Series model this past weekend? I did when I built it May 2010. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
The Oroso Conclave have the most careful, defence-minded and tactical military forces of the known races, outside of the Vonn. Their priority lies squarely in defence, their fightcraft lack FTL ability. Instead, they need to land on a 'mother' ship or be stored on a rack in transport.
The T'frr is the primary fightercraft fielded by the Conclave; it is nimble, capable and well-armed against a variety of threats with wing and chin mounted cannons.
Although reasonably small, the ship needs two crew. In common with most Oroso, the crew of a T'frr live and exist in very close quarters. This closeness is key to their relationship and fighting ability; if one of a pilot-pair dies or is unable to fight again, the other often struggles to adjust back to military life.
The T'frr served admirably against the European Union forces during the brief Human-Oroso conflict, bested only by the late introduction of Grendel Squadron.

Tronde Shipyard created the MP-1 Liquid Transport after the First Piracy War. The big boom in trade during the Selumm Grande Proclur (the Age of Grand/Great Excellence) period was a time when many shipyards began producing bigger, simpler, and efficient transport vessels. Indeed, practically all of Tronde Shipyards F series fit that description – big and reliable. The MP-1 in particlur is a very simple, modular design. However, this also means many of the vital systems aren’t as highly advanced or effective resulting in slow speed and sluggish maneuverability – nonetheless it is an effective design.
The MP-1 is easily convertible (the MP stands for multipurpose). In fact most MP-1 around today have been converted into grain transport vessels. This versatility, along with some other factors (mainly the big hangar bay) have led to numerous military purchases as support/supply vessels. Of the four-hundred MP-1s that were produced over fifty went to military services.
The Trialsite and five other “sister” ships were bought by the Trynin Empire and reconfigured to hold all manner of supplies from water and foodstuff and can even function as a tanker. Most military MP-1s also received an upgraded weapon and defense system. During the Agronomic War the Trialsite was employed by the Trynin Empire as a support vessel for the 1st Fleet, Left Wing, 4th Battle Group. The Trialsite saw action during the Battle of Varn and was severely crippled as her captain and crew engaged the Almen in the hopes of allowing her battlegroup to escape from the advancing Concero forces. After the war the Trialsite and her sister ships were sold to various shipping companies in favor of Tronde Shipyards future G series transports. Today the Trialsite has the shipping label HG-21 and is in the service of United Lend Shipping. She’s used as a multipurpose supply vessel, transporting overstocked supplies between warehouses on various systems.
If you’ve got this year’s City Advent Calendar you may have noticed some of the models, such as the plane & the crane, are representations of real LEGO sets. I thought it a pretty cool idea so here is my own addition: The two current LEGO train sets. (Sorry for poor photo quality!)
Imagine an ancient fortification taken over and expanded by a dark power.
A study in angles, snot and windowmaking, but really I wanted to build a big fat castle!
Choose your own way
Made for Lug'est labyrinth activity.
Entry is fixed by previous builder. The exit is my choice, let's climb to the top.
strangely I've had time to build this weekend.
This little book is inspired by the island of Miyajima
the pics of the inside are further along in my photostream
I tried to create as much details as I could in this moc, In particular for the front of the building
Battlecruiser Operational!
My build of the Behemoth-class Battlecruiser Hyperion as seen in Starcraft II.
I don't really like the way the stand attaches to the bottom of the ship, but I can't seem to find a better way right now.
Comes in right at the maximum size of 16x16 studs for use in Mobile Frame Zero: Intercept Orbit.
A plateau that could be the remainder of a volcano in the desert, with nice forests on it and an Elven castle.
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.
HMS Babalas in Micro/macro scale. Whatever you call it. I figured the dockyards would look a bit empty without something.
A microscale Moon Trike built for the Builder's Lounge 10-piece challenge. 10 pieces total, not counting the challenge piece. Looks best on black.
I am hoping to have this done by Saturday for some Microspace gaming. I really felt motivated to build last night and got this much together in about an hour. Would rather be building than at work...
I've been working on this for about 3 weeks, finding the change from minifig scale to microscale quite a challenge - but an enjoyable one :)
This microscale castle and town is my section of my collaborative build with Mark Dowers for the 2021 Christchurch Brick Show.
It is not a recreation of a specific medieval town, but inspired by a number of castles and towns in Britain and Europe. The castle was mainly inspired by Conwy and Caernarfon Castles in North Wales.
A microscale homage to MOC builder Mladen Pejic.
I absolutely love his work. His multipodes are amazing! ^_^
Hope you recognize him! If not, check here.
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.
This model has a long range communication system and is able to store and transmit messages over extra long distances. Entrepreneurial depot captains take a stipend from each message, further augmenting their incomes.
Crew: 2-10
Manufacturer: No standard design, asteroid dependent.
Weaponry: Nil.
Special: Augmented fuel capacity. Long range communication beacon.

Had this Little mech sitting around thought it was about time I photographed it. Part of a series of mecha that I could build using common parts but without sacrificing detail.
I built this for the Lego Ideas Moments in Space contest. The winning entry has the chance to be made into an official Lego set that would be available as a gift with purchase. If you like it, please vote for it. If you really like it, please comment on the Ideas page and share the link to help this mini rover get more votes. ideas.lego.com/challenges/1b817aba-3990-4e6d-a17f-7a59a94...
Thank you and sorry for the self promotion.

Huge disparities exist within the universe. Although developed societies travel through space and do myriad amazing things with technology, the individuals and groups on the Galactic Rim have more urgent problems to worry about, and very little cash and tech with with to deal with them.
Colonists on Axila VII needed a craft which could work on the half of the planet made of water, the tiny part made of land and the remainder made of swamp. The Old Earth idea of a hovercraft was just perfect.
The designers of the 'Seadog'-class of craft released the blueprints onto the ExtraNet and it has become exceptionally throughout the Rim. This most proliferated design uses a rear-mounted repulsor-push generator and a hover-cushion made from a alloy-polymer blend. Flexible enough to perform on various terrains, but tough enough not to puncture.
With a minimum crew of two, the second member there to operate the energy turret, the 'Seadog' is an adaptable and affordable solution to terrestrial transport, logistics and often combat.
Length: 14m
Crew: 2 (1 pilot, 1 gunner). Upto 12 passengers.
Manufacturer: Various groups.
Role: Transport, patrol, combat.
Armament: 1 x Anti-Vehicle Cannon (turreted)
