New Vessel Sighted Orbiting Durham IV

Last night I fashioned another putty spaceship.  This design features engine pods created separately and then glued on.


I'm really digging this design, despite the fact that with all the globular features I got a lot more air bubbles than usual.

The picture below shows the Vector/Readout Disc for this ship class, for use in my solo game Greater Space Battles.  Note the six numbers in white circles no longer define firing arcs but instead represent the ship's velocity.  Thus by positioning the disc in a certain way the player has a way to record any speed from 1 to 6, without the use of pen & paper or markers.  This rules change allows conservation of momentum.  The current Greater Space Battles rules on the downloads page do not reflect this change; the update is coming here!
