Description Our ST : RPG referee asked me to make a standard shuttlecraft up for the Electra and other explorer ships of the era, rather than having a specialist aquashuttle he wanted the explorer's standard shuttle to be as versatile as possible. This is what I call the pink panther shuttle because of the sculpted prow reminds me of the panthermobile from the 70's show.

Anyway in game terms its a 2 crew plus 10 passenger shuttle with onboard fresher facilities, a rear door airlock with floor hatch for aquatic operations, its warp capable with a cruise of warp factor 2 and a 12 hour emergency speed of warp 3.5 (at that speed it expends fuel 50% faster too).

Build time was a mere 10 minutes lol, strange how the best looking stuff takes the least amount of time. I only had half an hour before the game to come up with shuttlecraft 29 for a player handout as it featured heavily in yesterdays scenario.

Note: on explorer starships the compliment of shuttlecraft need to be able to act as lifeboats as a STL pod won't save anyone unless the ship was parked in orbit of a suitably habitable world when it was forced to abandon ship.

That's really good for such a short time. It looks like a TOS area shuttle but looks fast. Are you playing FASA?

we always use FASA as the LUG version whilst looking good has very bad game mechanics and theres not a member in the club that likes the D20 system.

I'm kind of new to Role playing so I haven't played any d20 games yet but I heard Lug just wasn't as good as FASA. I joined a group a few months ago They started when I joined and now I am the Helmsman of The Larson class U.S.S Valley Forge.

Ypu#ll like the larson they are some sweet little ships, many players that have become modellers since have honoured thier RPG craft the most notable being the Phobos by Kevib Riley. My group are using the madverse ships made by my friend Ricky Wallace, my command is an intrepid-pathfinder class, theres one in the downloads section of my gallery.

Didn't think anyone else remembered the ol' Panthermobile. That was one of my fave kid shows, kept me quiet for an hour every Saturday. I think that's why mum liked it, too.

its only 2 cylinders, 2 boxes and 2 hemispheres, just made them each to editable polygon and buggered around with the vertices till I got what I was looking for.
