Howdy!
Apologies for the reduced overt waffles -
I'm gearing up to undertake some other activities, so I don't have as much time to spare as
questing for work becomes an overriding priority...
For your enjoyment,
below are some images of the battle of the kitchen tabletop, a legendary ST encounter.
Above: USS Incursion flies through (over, in the GOBS system) the wreckage of the large Wizkids cube - this being a failed print plate for a generic holder box on the k8200.
Above:
The battleax of a Scout Fusion Tesseract wails on USS Titan, USS Incursion lines up an attack run on the wizkids cube, Enterprise strafes (firing all magazine of torpedoes). Galaxy X and the 2 other Bergstrom cruiser attack a fleeing/flanking Eaglemoss Sphere.
Above: The borg wreck the federation left flank. Most of the Bergstrom destroyers don't survive this turn. The feds kill the Tactical Tetrahedron and a Scout in return, though. USS Titan prepares the main deflector for a particle pulse at the Fusion Tesseract...
Above: The Tesseract makes short work of the shields of the incoming Bergstrom cruisers. The Obelisk/Pylon attacks Incursion, damaging her multiphasic cloak/holocloak, and the Eaglemoss Sphere damages USS Titan's right side nacelle, causing her to drift. Importantly, Titan's main deflector array remains powered and intact.
Above: The first turn... The Borg have arrived en-masse. Luckily, the federation scouts detected the Borg's incursion before reinforcements could arrive... A tactical cube (made by a friend) was also to have joined the battle for the kitchen table, but, unfortunately it broke before it could be transported.
This match was as much to test the large-scale combat mechanics of GOBS as it was to have fun.
We lost the battle for the table, the Borg narrowly won with a damaged sphere...
Everyone had fun though, and we all reflected on the new DVD box set of TNG,
as well as Prelude to Axanar/Axanar and ST:Renegades - both outstanding projects which leave JJBrams "trek" (I use the term loosely) in the space-dust.
If you enjoy trek, support Axanar, and ST:Renegades (especially if you're a borg fan-person - Icheb is back with vengeance, even if the effects look like early TNG and early TRON had a 80s lovechild...
Work still progresses on printing cubes and larger structures on the k8200 reliably,
though layers are having a lot of problems, as filament intermittently accumulates on the extruder nozzle or the plastic fails to feed despite the correct settings, and low fill density of the object.
DISCLAIM:
above: Eaglemoss, Hallmark, Furuta, Wizkids, Studio Bergstrom are where most of the ship are from;
yours truly and the k8200 made the rest.
Trek is |for the moment at time of writing| the brain child of Roddenbury god rest his soul --- who encouraged all to share in his ideas, and remains CBS-ish or something. Infudgement non-intentional, geometry and coloration coincidental, and for private enjoyment purposes only.
