Inspired by some of the recent SHIP that have been finished recently, namely the Manticore and the Calamity Jane, I wanted to build my own. After researching SHIPs and concept art for awhile I came to the idea of building a vertical Alien vessel. So this still keeps to the over 100 stud standard, in fact unless you count the complete length of the tentacles base to the the very top of the antennae is almost exactly 100 studs.
The SHIP has 2 lazar turrets, 2 mini hangars with small attack craft, 2 airlocks, 2 missile bays, and four decks, as well as the four tentacles. The ship is meant as a highly maneuverable battle ship that can snag other ships and crush them with the four strong tentacles.
The attack craft are of a similar design. They're supposed to be extremely fast and maneuverable but lack strong armor or weaponry beside two melee tentacles.
The SHIP has four detailed decks including a weapon control station, main bridge, stasis beds, and airlock chamber.
