I gotta wonder if anyone's ever made a Vasudan Mjolnir equivalent. (I did a search and found nothing.)

Actually, it probably wouldn't happen that way in canon, since Zods generally don't like using unmanned sentries to begin with.

How's about this then. A light, fast, easily redeployable ship, slightly bigger than Mjolnir size, and with a BVas battery (or perhaps MVas) on the front. A Q-ship. (A couple turrets to defend it, too -- maybe 5 turets total, including the beam, so it's not defenseless, but not very well-armed either.)

It'd be able to provide the same role as the Mjolnir if needed, whilst adding the "honorable combat" element the Vasudans seem to prefer, and also being more tactically flexible, providing a little extra anticap firepower to a Battlegroup.

Hmm... (if only I had some sort of modeling skill.)

Straight up Vasudan mjolnir is about an hour model-to-conversion job, though.

Or you could always shove a gigantic turret on the cargo deck of a Ma'at or something.

SA is alive? :confused: This is news to me. :p

Aldo, I was thinking a new model, not just a reskinned Mjolnir.

I could convert an Anuket miner into an RBC, tho... ;7

(Actually, that's not a bad idea. I oughta do that.)

Neither was i.  Straight up flat tube with slight bevelled front detail and a dp on the back, 4 'leafs' rotating around it.  Very simple, very easy design.

Round off some of the edges, otherwise it'll look a little too Terran.

all I'd say is to change the bottom panels to look a bit like petals, and you should be fine.

I'd use the Vasudan AWACS texture for the pannels/petals.

I wouldn't, that texture's a mess.  You might find something usable there, but you're more likely to come out with an indistinguishable blob.

Did, Sesq.

Mag1, that looks good so far, tho it does look more Terran than Vasudan ATM. Perhaps the inner ring could be rounded off and smoothed, for a more Zod-ish bubble-like effect.
