Legion and my old pantheon Aesir held competitions, trivia games, and the such in the past. I look to continue these things into 2.x, as 2.x draws closer and closer and me slightly more active each day i wanted to put the first Legion competition of the new era out there.

After some consideration these are the rules.
1. The core hull may not be radically altered. You can cut pieces out of it, add superstructure and other items, but the ship must be recognizably based upon it.
2. Only the three textured colours supplied with the core hull design are allowed.
3. Use discretion when adding weapons.

Also send me a copy of the Sketchup file as an attachment to an email. Get ahold of me privately to get my email.

Think logically these are intended to be larger ships, so one hint to you is to not put larger components on the ship it makes it look smaller. Multiple entries can be made, but dont think a ship you tried to paste together in an hour will get you a win, unless your a freak of nature.

Remember use your imagination and have fun.

Prizes:
1st - 1000 essence
2nd - 500 essence
3rd - 500 essence

419 + 250 added

Depending on the detail involved in the design and if anyone else donates essence to the pot you maybe paid more.

essence will be recorded and paid to you whenever it becomes possible.

Everything you need to get started:

Good luck ladies and germs!

Is there a place to download extra tools because I can pretty much only stretch stuff and draw lines.

no its all there if anyone needs help trying to figure anything out . you can ask me, i helped squishy out some.

Well, I have no skill in this area, but good luck to all of the participants!

I will contribute 419 essence.

250 essence from me

I have moved essence from Dauntless and squishy to Grant for their contributions. If anyone else wants to contribute I'll do the same, just ask me on the chat. Also Grant once your competition is over I'd be happy to transfer essence to the winners

When is the deadline?

hmm well, thts a good question. i dont know how many participants there are so...i dont even know if we have enough people participating to fill the top 3. well say a month from today

I will participate, but my modelling skills are... less than satisfactory. :P I will still try.
