Bloodclaw

Have you ever dreamt of some half organic, half machine, destruction-focused nightmare? Here you go.

The Bloodclaw is my first attempt to create a ship with an intensivly detailed exterior. Its creation took weeks and the optimizing several more. I am finally satisfied with its look, external as well as internal.

She can be used by a single person but is intended for a crew.

There is an excavation section as well as a small cargo room but they are intended for hydrogen mining, mission cargo and loot rather than for pure mining.

Running this ship on hydrogen only would be - interesting. Maybe when the batteries are fully charged. The hydrogen reactors can provide up to 19200 energy but the consumption is accordingly high. If her tanks are filled they should last a while, though.

With a vast number of assembly and printing units she can also be used as a construction facility. These were primarily installed to guarantee a quick support with everything the two nuclear reactors need.

Its main purpose however is indicated by the 18 front guns, the nine turrets and the ten launchers. Front guns and launchers are divided into several weapon groups that allow the pilot to use them easily and according to the situation.

All devices are placed in an easily accessible way in case of alien infestation.

The last update included several screens with a glimpse of background information. Can you find them all?

I surely enjoy to fly this ship and if you choose to do the same I wish you lots of fun!
