Planet Buster Finalby ~Dadward

Digital Art / Drawings / Sci-Fi

Hi All,

Full view is worth it. I also made the length 1028dpi so it can go onto a desktop. Looks pretty good that way, if I should say so myself.

This craft is like a bull in a china shop. Simply one could destroy an entire planet; image a fleet of these? Basically, this is a heavily armoured, heavily weaponized vessel that is used as a way to soften up a planet before a planet invasion. With a combination of bombs and hi-altitude craft, attack power centers of government and infrustructure. A planet's only hope would be to spot the Planet Busters, and attempt to attack these craft first before they get close enough to the planet. Normally, of course, they are escorted by other smaller and more nimble battle craft to protect these hulking vessels from being brought down before their mission is complete.

As you can see, most of the living quarters are in the forward of the craft. The rest is stuffed to the rafters with weapons and machines with the sole purpose of mass descruction. It has low manaverability, but is so well armoured, that it can take quite a few direct hits before being crippled or destroyed. Everything has an Achilies Heal, and in this brute's case, would be a well aim rocket directly into it's engines at the rear. A hard feet to do with all the escort craft and rear guns to prevent such an event to occur.

On a purely asthetic note. I realised that my last string of vessels lacked some personalization such as markings, numbers, and other identifying features. So, as I create more space ships, I will give them more personality not only from the overall design, but threw the humanistic and tribal markings; not unlike tatoos.

If you have any further questions, I can probably answer them as I recieve comments. Heh, I probably didn't think of everything.

I would imagine, the planet busters would make some head way, but the way the borg adapt...I doubt they would last long.

Wow that is a SHIP!
the design is so unique! WOW!
yep i'd love to have one of these for a little "insurance" XD

BTW how does it do in ship to ship battles u know capital ship V capital ship?

This ship isn't good for ship to ship battles. It needs the assistance of the support craft to keep enemies at bay. Since it's so large and so heavy, isn't not very manuverable. I will say, however, if this Planet Buster spots an enemy craft first from millions of miles away and locks onto it, the enemy craft is toast.
