Super excited to share my second commission with the EXTREMELY talented @ncc-60205.bsky.social! π€©
The concept is a New Republic fleet circa 6 ABY. Disarmament is underway, but so is the effort to produce more peacetime oriented designs like the Defender-class.

βAbolish ICEβ is literally the MODERATE position in America today. Not even the position Schumerβs constituents are demanding. The MODERATE position is βabolish.β
Majority of the country now wants to abolish and/or dismantle ICE and yet Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y. told the caucus the message had to be to βrestrain, reform and restrict ICE.β
Once again it looks like Schumer is about to choke after getting a massive opportunity.
So pathetic and weak.

Senate Democrats plot strategy as DHS standoff deepens heading into shutdown week
Two sources who were on a Democratic caucus strategy call Sunday said Minority Leader Chuck Schumer told the group the message must be to βrestrain, reform and restrict ICE.β

I've been wanting to pitch an intro for a "Section 13" show set in the Lost-era of the ST-prime timeline - basically the shorthand for the Starfleet Corps of Engineers - rock up with problem solving, like Team-Matlock in space. They interface a lot with the Starfleet JAG folks as well.

People keep saying the codenames in Metal Gear Solid sound like Megaman X bosses, so I decided to give them actual designs. Matches the scale of my other X mockups.
Something I've been sitting on for several years that I finally decided to wrap up tonight.

Heres a peek at what our levels look like early in the design process. Working out scale, metrics and what feels 'right', we can get a sense of all those things using very basic geo.
Its also very quick and easy to make changes, then play again. Iteration is key!

Puffin- and Penguin-Class Starfighters
The 23rd-century carriers and fighters exhibit at the Starfleet Museum feature two main variants: the older, fusion-powered Puffins and the newer antimatter-powered Penguins.
The museum has extensive text on their development and use.
