Scenario Build Contest 1

[jath]

Scenario:
You're a mechanic working on a large interstellar colony ship when you drop out of hyperspace and are immediately swarmed by tiny fighter drones. Several fighters are launched to be quickly mowed down by the drones, and the ship is pelted. The turrets have a slightly better chance and wear down the swarm, but not before the ship's systems go critical.

A handful of other survivors manage to make it to escape pod. You manage to hop into a Storage pod, and release it into space. Floating along like so much other debris, you go unnoticed, while many of the escape pods are blasted to smithereens.

One lone pilot launches one of the last remaining fighters and takes out the remaining drones single-handedly before succumbing and crash landing on a nearby planet. Your ship blows up, blowing you clear of the blast area.

With what resources you have on your little cargo pod, you manage to get a rudimentary propulsion system to work. As you start to cautiously float back toward the debris, you discover that there isn't much left, but you do find the remains of one fighter floating in space, damaged beyond repair.

It's the best you've got

Your mission:

Turn the fighter into a working ship that can rescue 5 survivors, kill a small group of fighter drones, and get them safely to a nearby planet where they can live in relative safety.

Requirements:

• the ship must be Air tight, most of the survivors didn't have time to grab their helmet.
• The ship must be recognizable as having been built from the fighter.
• The ship must be able to take off and land on a planet surface.

You may remove any block you wish, but it must still appear to have come from the original in some way.

You have a small cargo pod to go and gather debris from the remains of a large ship. Your building materials are basically unlimited.

MASS LIMIT: 200

The winning will get an all expense paid three day and two night vacation to Iota Trade station with full accommodations. You will also get to attend a cruise aboard a private yacht and view the bright white star of voidsys. On top of that, your ship with be featured in a video of victors.

You can go ahead and submit entries directly into this thread as well rather than emailing them.

I've been wanting to build a junkers barge by copy and pasting parts from ships in a scrap yard together... but there isn't much to work with here. A sector export with the cargo pod, limited supplies and debris you had to use would make this fairly interesting.

Next time. I promise

This is going to wind up being a pretty cool little production. I'll try to include anyone who submits an entry in the video if they want to be in it. I'm going to do 3 videos. I'll present the all the ships, I'll let you vote. Then the second video, I'll throw the votes out and choose the winner myself. And the third video will be the above scenario in a little production. The entries so far are pretty cool. I can't wait to see the rest of them! Good luck!

Keep the submissions coming. We're doing great. I like the theme of some of the ships so far, really makes you feel like the scenario is happening.
