I was always building space ships with guns during my childhood, and it always annoyed me that they kept bringing out better and better sets after I had "grown up"... But luckily I now have two little lads to re-new my aquantice with lego again. We currently play with this set of lego called duplo explore which is a cross between duplo and technic type stuff that you have a screw driver to put it all together with. I cant wait till they grow up a bit and we can buy all the castle lego and have huge medieval wars......

Ok, stop post spamming immediatly! I mean it. [insert]Angry humorious look[/inset]

How large was the original death star in Star Wars. Man could you image if a game like SEIV could have such things..... OMG.

50,000kt and 100,000kt death stars. Imagine how long it would take to build. And destroy. (You would have to have some large space consuming components like really large crew quarters and support systems.

All it would need is a couple of proton lego blocks.

Don't forget the Captain Power super semi-thermocuple anti spammming TFC R-11 hull plating.

And a bunch of anti fighter cannons to prevent the Rebels from blowing it up after all the resources and time we spent making it.

Nah, what we really need is control-click to add 100 life support at a time http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

I actually have a semi scematic of the death star. It is mostly reactors and power generation equiipment, but has something like 3,000 decks. I will see if I can find the book and list the specs. Very interesting stuff.

www.stardestroyer.net

This site is a wealth of information relating to real phsyics and Star Wars (also some Star Trek stuff too). Somewhere on the site (sorry, couldn't find it again) he goes into a detailed essay on the size, power requirements and output of star destroyers and Death Stars.

Very cool stuff.

What I've been wondering about is how does the Death Star move around? You never see it fly away together with the fleet of star destroyers, but somehow, after destroying one planet, it shows up light-years away at another planet. There must be some hidden engines on it?

Thinking of starting a full shipset for a new Nomadic Race. I think that Portrait would be perfect. It's even the same color!

Sample of Nomad starship attached. It's not finished, so constructive criticism is always appreciated.

Nice. Has a nice 'steampunk airship' look.
