    Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to the IC Shipyards Diplomatic Art Department.

    After a long and tedious economic depression, the IC shipwrights are back on track with another cautious approach towards public showcasing.
    //This thread's spoilers are image heavy. RP ships ahead.//

    Without further ado, I want to introduce you to the ICV-CV Greg Bear, an ultra-light attack carrier, cross-functioning as a dropship.
    Measuring 109 x 28 x 55 metres, the Greg Bear-class vessels offer room for two fighters or a single heavy-hitting bomber, or even several ground vehicles, depending on their mission. As onboard armament, it sports eight vertical-launch missile arrays to take out strategic targets, as well as four anti-fighter turrets and a small-sized mass accelerator for self-defence.

    Seeing as our engineers are notoriously lazy, the Greg - as they call it, lazy as they are - is the ICS' very first completed ship, functional and ready for deployment.
    Its infantry armory, medbay and maintenance bay are under construction, as well as two undesignated rooms which yet require a feasible access way.
    //Really, the Greg wasn't intended to have a proper interior. It was a mess to mash this thing up.//

    What's next? You will find out after the break of indefinite length!
    Grab a snack at our bar or have a pleasant chat with our android servants. They are built to serve and smile, so be sure to smile back and I'll see you later!

    The exterior is pretty darn good, but the best part of the Greg Bear is the interior. I mean really, props.

    I can't believe you managed to stuff so much interior in a ship that size :O . Amazing work on both the interior AND exterior!!!

    Oh man, I really like the interior on the first ship. Especially the reactor core, nice use of the curved ice crystal.

    Also: Yhole-you-can-eat buffet? Urgh...shpace travel does not sound so appealing any more...

    Our engineers are so glad that the resonance is this positive, they're throwing a party for their ego and themselves. If you listen closely, you might hear them rejoice. And bathe in the punch bowl.

    Because they like you so much, they provide you with a sneak peek of the ICV-DC Uyeda, a corvette that's been in the works for the past hours.



    Now please continue to enjoy your break with snacks and androids!

    Quick update on the Uyeda. Our engineers like to brag with minor progress, so they urge us to cater more and more unworthy updates.



    Update 2:
    Our engineers have spoken out against prototypes, as they look 'clunky' and 'unfinished'.
    They will utilise VLHs (Very Large Hammers) to reshape this 'fugly' reactor core into something more 'shiny'.

    Our engineers forced us to abandon all communication policies and cater yet another update.

    The ICS now proudly presents their latest addition to the stellar inventory; the ICV-DC Uyeda.
    Coming in at 94 x 26 x 23 metres, this corvette bears the role of a lightly armoured escort vessel. It is shielded and armoured enough to sustain a few hits, but what it lacks in defence, it makes up for in agility.

    The next break will unfortunately be quite a bit longer than the last; capital ships do not build themselves. Or begin construction, rather.
