The Ion Cannon Frigate, a deadly cap-ship killer.
About this creation
About:
The Firelance class of frigate is one of the deadliest special-purpose combat vessels ever made. When Kushan scientists finally made a breakthrough in directed particle beam technology, it was clear that it was just too large to mount effectively on the current class of capital ship hulls. Unwilling to wait for the evolution of larger hulls, combat engineers went to work wrapping a frigate class hull around the huge ion cannon itself. The result was the Firelance class of frigate, whose only real combat function is to deliver the incredible damage potential of the Ion Cannon to the battle.
Armament: 1 Large Ion Cannon
Building Notes:
An obvious copy of the Ion Cannon frigate from the game Homeworld. An older build recently overhauled to rid itself of its previously riotous color scheme (purple, yellow, black, grey). I may update it with newer legos to get more of the curvy, deadly sexy ICF look, but otherwise, I'll most likely use it as a template for my Homeworld Assault Frigate.

The business end of the deadly spinally-mounted Ion Cannon.

If I get enough new legos, I'll use the newer-shaped pieces, and really bring out the curvy, sexy looks inherent in the ICF.

I'd have used orange tiles if I had enough, but no dice. Green is okay though right?
